About Novus Therapeutics

Novus Therapeutics, Inc. ("Novus”) is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing products for patients with disorders of the ear, nose, and throat ("ENT”). Novus has two technologies, each that has the potential to be developed for multiple indications. Novus’ lead product candidate (OP-02) is a surfactant-based, combination drug product being developed as a potential first-in-class treatment option for patients at risk for, or with, otitis media (middle ear inflammation and effusion, with or without infection). Globally, otitis media affects more than 700 million adults and children every year, with over half of the cases occurring in children under five years of age. Otitis media is one of the most common disorders seen in pediatric practice, and in the United States is a leading cause of health care visits and the most frequent reason children are prescribed antibiotics or undergo surgery. Novus also has a foam-based drug delivery technology (OP-01), which may be developed in the future to deliver drugs into the ear, nasal, and sinus cavities.
