The Pneumonia Problem

  • Pneumonia is the leading cause of disease by infectious disease.
  • The impact of pneumonia on the annual cost of healthcare is over $2.5 billion.
  • Current antibiotic treatment requires high-doses in order to reach the site of infection, resulting in off-target side-effects and higher risk of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the lungs.

The BLTherapeutics Solution

BLTx liquid delivers antibiotics to the lungs because that’s where the infection is.

    Delivering Antibiotics Direct to the Infection

    "Researchers hope that delivering medicines directly to the lungs can exploit those characteristics and make drugs that are more efficient and effective than oral or injectable drugs—and maybe easier to take." (Mosenbergen)
    "Beyond Asthma: Designing Inhaled Drugs to Fight More Diseases" April 2023

  • Conventional Delivery

    Problem

    Impaired lungs interfere with uniform drug delivery required for enhanced treatment efficacy and consistency.

  • Liquid Delivery

    Solution

    BLTx liquid delivery platform facilitates homogeneous distribution in the lung by expanding impaired lungs while supporting oxygen exchange.

  • Dropper and test tubes

    Liquids Can Be Customized to Deliver a Variety of Therapeutics
