Director, CMC Quality, Pulmovant

Pulmovant is a Roivant-backed clinical-stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapies for patients suffering from pulmonary diseases. Pulmovant’s first program, mosliciguat, is designed to provide an effective, once-daily, inhaled treatment option for patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Mosliciguat is a novel, potential first-in-class, sGC activator with a differentiated mechanism that may have broad applicability across the PH spectrum. Mosliciguat has been extensively characterized across a robust Phase 1 program with 170 participants dosed to date, including patients with PH in the Phase 1b ATMOS study, which has produced highly compelling and clinically meaningful efficacy data, as well as a favorable safety profile. Enrollment in a phase 2 trial is ongoing. As part of the Roivant family of companies, Pulmovant leverages the power of collaboration and innovation to drive progress.
