  • At the time of the data cutoff on April 4, 2022, 15 subjects were enrolled in the pilot study.

  • All 15 subjects were titrated to 250 ppm NO in the hospital setting, and none required dose reductions during the subsequent at-home portion of the study. 
  • Methemoglobin and NO2 concentrations remained below the safety thresholds of 10% and 5 ppm, respectively. 
  • Patients are followed up for 12 weeks after the 12-week treatment period is completed, and the last patient visit at the end of week 24 will occur in August 2022.
