Stockholm, March 28, 2024 - Vicore Pharma Holding AB (publ), unlocking the potential of a new class of drug candidates, angiotensin II type 2 receptor agonists (ATRAGs ), today announced multiple presentations at the 2024 American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference, including an oral late-breaking presentation of the final Phase 2a AIR data of buloxibutid in patients suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
“We are pleased to showcase a series of presentations at the upcoming ATS International Conference,” said Ahmed Mousa , Chief Executive Officer of Vicore Pharma. “In addition to the final Phase 2a AIR data, these presentations will highlight the power of our upstream tissue repair mechanism and provide further details on our planned Phase 2b ASPIRE trial of buloxibutid in IPF.”
“In the previously disclosed interim results of the Phase 2a AIR trial, buloxibutid demonstrated the ability to stabilize and subsequently improve lung function as measured by forced vital capacity, in individuals with the life-shortening disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis” said Toby Maher , MD, Professor of Medicine and Director of Interstitial Lung Disease at Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California. “I’m very much looking forward to presenting the final data at the ATS conference in May which will include all patients treated for up to 36 weeks with this promising therapy.”
Vicore’s abstracts for the conference are available on the ATS’s 2024 online program:

About the AIR trial
AIR is a single arm Phase 2a trial of buloxibutid in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The trial includes centrally read high resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) to establish the diagnosis of IPF and spirometry in line with American Thoracic Society (ATS) protocols to measure forced vital capacity (FVC), the regulatory endpoint central to approval of therapeutics in IPF. In a previously reported interim analysis, patients on buloxibutid showed stabilization and subsequently improvement in lung function as measured by FVC over the 36 week dosing period.
