“We scrambled, got back, revived from the dead, if you will, and then worked again to bring in the right syndicate for this."

Boston-area biotech Nocion Therapeutics, Inc. has raised $62 million to bring its capsule-based inhaler toward Phase III testing, CEO Rick Batycky told Endpoints News. 

The startup is attempting to treat chronic cough, a condition that lasts at least eight weeks and has become more stigmatized as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

"It can make you feel like a social outcast,” said Julie Grant, a general partner at Nocion investor Canaan Partners.

More on how Nocion plans to treat chronic cough with a different approach than GSK (by way of Bellus) and Merck:
