|
|
Last week we awarded up to $15.9 million to Eloxx Pharmaceuticals Inc. in additional funding to support the expansion of its ongoing clinical program focused on developing therapies for people with cystic fibrosis who have nonsense mutations. The new funding will enable the company to expand the studies to determine whether the combination of ELX-02 with a CFTR modulator results in increased biological activity over ELX-02 alone.
