Kamada, a bio-pharmaceutical company engaged in the development, manufacturing and marketing of specialty life-saving therapeutics, announced that data on its next-generation alpha-1 antitrypsin (Inhaled-AAT) in cystic fibrosis patients was presented today, at the Annual Congress of the European Respiratory Society (ERS) 2009, Vienna. As previously reported, the study showed that inhaled-AAT was safe and biologically effective.

David Tsur continued, “We believe this demonstrates the excitement around our inhaled version of AAT within the field of respiratory medicine. Our product could have a significant impact on the lives of patients with cystic fibrosis and we look forward to advancing it into further clinical trials in the future”.
