Zelpultide alfa is the only recombinant surfactant protein D (SP-D) therapy in late-stage development for BPD prevention, giving it a first-mover advantage and positioning it to become the standard of care. With no other preventive or therapeutic options for BPD currently in the clinic, and the potential for a broad label across inflammatory and infectious diseases, zelpultide alfa is well poised to drive a step change in the market.
