Clinical Trials

Multiple clinical trials are investigating S-nitrosoglutathione for respiratory and pulmonary conditions. These include an actively recruiting Early Phase I trial evaluating S-nitrosoglutathione challenges and GSNO reductase phenotyping in severe asthma patients and healthy volunteers, alongside a Phase I pilot study examining an inhaled formulation for bronchopulmonary dysplasia, which is currently suspended. Sponsored primarily by academic and medical institutions such as Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, these trials also receive federal support from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

S-nitrosoglutathione acts as an endogenous nitric oxide donor that spontaneously liberates nitric oxide under physiological conditions, thereby selectively inhibiting platelet aggregation and NF-κB activation while dose-dependently modulating T-cell apoptotic pathways. This targeted delivery of nitric oxide reduces local inflammatory signaling and regulates vascular tone, providing the physiological foundation for its therapeutic investigation in pulmonary pathologies including asthma and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
