Tff Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Stock Price, News & Analysis

TFF Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: TFFP) announced the termination of its employees and the decision to wind down operations following a special board meeting. The board appointed Craig R. Jalbert, 63, as CEO, President, CFO, Treasurer, Secretary, and sole board member. Jalbert, a principal at Verdolino & Lowey, P.C. since 1987, specializes in distressed businesses and has extensive experience managing companies during wind-down phases.

TFF Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: TFFP) announces positive preclinical data published in the Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology, validating its Thin Film Freezing (TFF) technology as a superior approach for formulating dry powders for pulmonary drug delivery. The study compared TFF inhalational dry powders with jet-milling and spray-drying technologies in a rat model, demonstrating:

• Enhanced uniform drug distribution in the lungs
• Lower airway-to-lung distribution ratio
• Rapid disaggregation of particles and subsequent movement of TFF nanoaggregates

TFF processed voriconazole dry powder showed the most homogeneous distribution in lung tissue, with the lowest airway-to-lung voriconazole deposition ratio (1.27) compared to spray-dried (1.76) and jet-milled (2.73) powders. These results suggest TFF inhalational dry powders may enhance treatment efficiency and reduce toxicity for lung diseases.

TFF Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: TFFP) has partnered with Emory University and BARDA to develop a dry powder inhaled mRNA-based treatment for Influenza and COVID. This collaboration, funded by BARDA and other US government agencies, aims to test the feasibility of converting Emory's mRNA-based Cas13a antiviral into a dry powder formulation using TFF's Thin Film Freezing technology. The project's goals include more precise inhalational delivery, improved stability, and widespread distribution without cold-chain storage.

The partnership is part of BARDA's Flexible and Strategic Therapeutics (FASTx) program, designed to develop rapidly adaptable platforms to combat viral threats. TFF's technology could potentially enhance the efficacy of antiviral therapies by delivering the drug directly to where respiratory viruses replicate, while also improving practicality for distribution.

TFF Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: TFFP) has announced positive preclinical data for their bivalent universal influenza vaccine candidates manufactured using Thin Film Freezing (TFF) technology. The study, conducted in collaboration with Dr. Ted Ross from Cleveland Clinic, showed that TFF-dry powder HA antigen vaccine candidates induced neutralizing antibody titers in ferrets against H1 and H3 influenza strains when administered intranasally.

The research, funded by a $2.97 million NIAID grant, aims to develop a shelf-stable mucosal universal influenza vaccine that could be effective against multiple strains and self-administered. Ongoing studies will assess antibody titers against a broader panel of influenza A viruses. The company's goal is to advance a vaccine candidate to IND and early clinical trials, with potential for significant market impact if successful.

TFF Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TFFP) has reported positive outcomes from its ongoing Phase 2 trial of Tacrolimus Inhalation Powder (TFF TAC) for preventing lung transplant rejection. Key highlights include:

1. Accelerated patient enrollment with 13 patients now in the trial.
2. TFF TAC at ~20% of oral tacrolimus dose prevented acute rejection and achieved >80% of oral trough blood levels.
3. 100% of patients completing 12-week treatment chose to continue in the long-term extension phase.
4. Observed 6.5-fold reduction in abnormally expressed rejection-related gene sets after TFF TAC treatment.
5. No production of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) after TFF TAC treatment.

The company is finalizing the design for the next study in collaboration with clinical investigators and regulatory authorities, with updates expected later this fall.
