Nuformix Sharpens Focus on Partnering Lead IPF Drug NXP002 as Preclinical Data Strengthen Case

Nuformix Plc ( (GB:NFX) ) just unveiled an update.

In its annual results for the year to 30 September 2025, Nuformix highlighted its strategic focus on securing a business development partner for NXP002, its lead preclinical asset – a patent-protected, inhaled form of tranilast being developed as a novel treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) and other fibrosing interstitial lung diseases. The company reported a series of encouraging preclinical data sets showing that NXP002 can be effectively delivered to the deep lung via nebulisation, is well tolerated at high doses in vivo and ex vivo, and delivers strong anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects both as a monotherapy and in combination with current standards of care, with additive benefits that suggest action on additional disease pathways. Further studies indicated that NXP002 achieves a durable anti-inflammatory effect consistent with a twice-daily dosing profile and demonstrates a clear dose response across key fibrotic biomarkers in human lung tissue models, strengthening its positioning as a potentially differentiated inhaled therapy in a rapidly growing IPF/PPF market and supporting Nuformix’s ongoing discussions with potential licensing and development partners.
