Clinical Trials
Aer Therapeutics is currently testing AER-01 in clinical trials to treat mucus plugs in chronic lung diseases.

Clinical Development of AER-01 for COPD & Asthma
AER-01 is being evaluated in a multicenter Phase 2a clinical trial across Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom to assess its safety and efficacy in improving lung function and reducing the number of airway mucus plugs in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD.

Future Milestones/Research Objectives
Aer Therapeutics is anticipating results of the clinical trial in Q2 2026, which will assess how AER-01 impacts lung function, changes mucus plug score, and subsequently improves respiratory symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, and chest congestion.
