Kamada to initiate Phase II trials for treatment of bronchiectasis

Kamada has announced that the company will soon start Phase II clinical trials with the inhaled version of its Alpha-1 Antitrypsin product to treat Bronchiectasis, a lung disease that results in the distortion of one or more of the conducting bronchi or airways, most often secondary to an infectious process.

The study will be conducted using an eFlow Electronic Nebulizer optimized for delivery of Kamada’s Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) product. Kamada’s inhaled AAT has been designated an orphan drug for the treatment of CF and AAT Deficiency, in both Europe and the US.

David Tsur, CEO of Kamada, said: “We believe that, pending the successful completion of the trials and registration process, this formulation will both considerably improve the quality of life and extend the life expectancy of a wide range of Bronchiectasis patients.”
