PLx Pharma wins grant to conduct Patent ductus arteriosus research

PLx Pharma has received $565,449 for the first year of a potential two-year $1,118,398 grant to carry out research designed to develop a treatment for premature babies with a congenital heart defect.

The grant is from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development.

PLx Pharma and UTHealth are working to reduce the GI toxicity of NSAIDs by formulating this family of drugs with a natural lipid named phosphatidylcholine.

PLx Pharma president Ron Zimmerman said the product is being developed to meet a serious unmet need for the compelling patient population.
