About TFF Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
TFF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is an early-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative drug products based on its patented Thin Film Freezing, or TFF, technology platform. The Company believes, and early testing confirms, that the TFF platform can significantly improve the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs, a class of drugs that makes up approximately 33% of the major pharmaceuticals worldwide, thereby improving their pharmacokinetics and potentially reducing adverse side effects. TFF Pharmaceuticals has two lead drug candidates, one of which treats a severe fungal pulmonary disease, and the other of which is part of the treatment for lung transplants. The Company plans to add to this pipeline by collaborating with large pharmaceutical partners. The TFF Platform is protected by 36 patents issued or pending in the US and internationally.
