According to Lung LLC, and from my review of summary results contained within the most recent version of the BPS-314d-MR Investigators' Brochure I concur, BPS-314d- MR has been shown to have a similar safety and pharmacokinetic profile in healthy volunteers to BPS-MR. It is also my understanding that at an End of Phase II meeting in April of this year, FDA acknowledged Lung LLC's intention to continue the development of BPS-314d-MR by conducting a Phase III pivotal study in PAH patients. This study, BPS-314d-MR-PAH-302 was subsequently initiated this past June.
In my opinion, and based upon the similarities of the two formulations, it is in the best interest of our patients to transition their treatment to BPS-314d-MR.
Lung LLC has agreed to supply BPS-314d-MR for the patients.
