About Verona Pharma

Verona Pharma is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on respiratory diseases.

Top-line data are expected in the third quarter of 2022 and around the end of 2022.

Two additional formulations of ensifentrine are in Phase 2 development for the treatment of COPD: dry powder inhaler (“DPI”) and pressurized metered-dose inhaler (“pMDI”).
