Kexing Biopharm Co.,Ltd. (688136.SH) announced that the human interferon α-1b inhalation solution, independently developed by its wholly-owned subsidiary Shenzhen Kexing Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Shenzhen Kexing"), has been included in the breakthrough therapy designation list by the Center for Drug Evaluation of the National Medical Products Administration. The public notice has recently been completed.
Interferon (IFN) is a class of proteins with broad-spectrum antiviral, antitumor, and immunomodulatory properties, serving as a key component of the body's natural immune system. The human interferon α-1b inhalation solution represents another major breakthrough for the company in the antiviral field. This pediatric-specific drug is administered through nebulization, allowing the active ingredient to directly reach the affected area for faster onset of action. Compared to injectable formulations, pediatric patients can avoid injection-related pain, resulting in higher acceptance and improved safety profile.
The company's human interferon α-1b inhalation solution is indicated for pediatric respiratory syncytial virus lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia and bronchiolitis.
