Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Bellerophon Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release on July 25, 2016 announcing that it has received health authority approval in Belgium to commence a Phase 2 trial for INOpulse, its patented and proprietary pulsatile nitric oxide [NO] delivery device, to treat pulmonary hypertension in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or PH-COPD. This follows results from the Company’s Phase 2a study and proof of mechanism work, which indicated that INOpulse could be both safe and effective in PH-COPD. Bellerophon expects to enroll the first patient in the third quarter of 2016 with results of the trial expected before year end. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The information included in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
