Dow Jones06-26

0914 ET - The FDA's target action date arrives for a decision on Verona Pharma's proposed ensifentrine drug for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. The company says a green light would make ensifentrine the first novel inhaled mechanism for the maintenance treatment of the devastating breathing disorder in more than 20 years. Verona last month inked financing agreements giving it access to up to $650 million ahead of its planned U.S. launch of ensifentrine. According to the American Lung Association, some 11.7 million American adults have COPD, for which there is no cure. (colin.kellaher@wsj.com)
