The agreement has been signed between the company's wholly-owned subsidiary in the US, Cipla Technologies LLC with Pulmatrix Inc for an investment in phase 2 ready Pulmazole (inhaled ltraconazole).

Pulmazole is an inhaled anti-fungal formulation of itraconazole aimed at treating allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in asthma patients.

Cipla said, "Entry into a definitive agreement is contingent upon Pulmatrix raising additional funds from the market".

Upon signing the definitive agreement, the co-development cost towards development and the total free cash flow in relation to commercialisation of Pulmazole will be further shared by both the parties in a phased manner, it added.
