Reports 2022 revenue $25.9M vs. $31.4M last year. "Pieris continues to advance potentially transformative clinical and preclinical programs, while remaining committed to cost-effective operations. Our top priority is to obtain data from the elarekibep Phase 2a study in asthma. We are pleased that our partner and study sponsor, AstraZeneca, is significantly increasing operational resources to complete the trial. As an inhaled therapeutic, elarekibep offers the promise of a superior product profile compared to currently available injectable drugs and further validation of our broader respiratory franchise," said Stephen S. Yoder, President and CEO of Pieris. "Respiratory diseases such as asthma, IPF and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are underserved by the biopharma industry despite high mortality rates, impaired quality of life, and a significant burden on the healthcare system. We believe Pieris is well positioned to develop differentiated inhaled biologics medicines that could fundamentally alter how respiratory diseases are managed. Alongside our lead program, elarekibep, Pieris is advancing additional clinical and preclinical programs that could result in meaningful new medicines. We are evaluating opportunities to support the long-term development of these promising therapeutic candidates."
