FeNO is a Validated Biomarker in Allergic Asthma Interventions Elevated fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a marker Biologics that have demonstrated a meaningful of allergic asthma reduction in FeNO (dupilumab, tezepelumab) have subsequently produced clinically- significant improvements in lung function and superior exacerbation improvements versus Nitric Oxide (NO) drugs that had no on effect FeNO Dupilumab was recently approved by the EMA for severe asthma in patients with either high eosinophils (EOs) or high FeNO We are exploring FeNO reduction versus placebo in a multi-dose ascending phase 1 study of PRS-060 Positive FeNO data from this study would support continued development to assess the Normal epithelial cells During airway inflammation, activated potential to improve lung function (FEV1) in release minimal NO epithelial cells increase production of NO uncontrolled asthmatics 11
