I'm surprised with the news today--filing for the IND came quicker than I thought. Apparently they haven't been sitting around all this time. The key for this company is expanding the indications for their platform---finally we might be getting somewhere after all these years of hoping and waiting--

WARRINGTON, Pa., Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Discovery Laboratories, Inc. ( DSCO), a specialty biotechnology company dedicated to advancing a new standard of respiratory critical care, today announced that it has submitted an investigational new drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate its AEROSURF® phase 2 clinical program. The FDA has confirmed receipt of the IND and has indicated that, unless otherwise notified during its review, the Company may initiate the phase 2 clinical program after a 30-day period. Discovery Labs anticipates patient enrollment could begin in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company will host a conference call this morning at 10:00 AM ET to discuss the AEROSURF program. Conference call details are below.

"The filing of our AEROSURF IND with the FDA represents an important milestone for our Company and a first step towards a potentially transformational medical advancement for the neonatology community and the infants they care for," said John G. Cooper, Chief Executive Officer at Discovery Labs.
