NanoViricides Advances Towards Phase II Trial of NV-387

NanoViricides, Inc., a leader in antiviral nanomedicines, announced updates on its clinical program activities. The company is preparing for a Phase II clinical trial of NV-387, aimed at treating RSV, COVID, and Influenza. This preparation involves consulting with various experts to develop the trial plan and protocol.

NV-387, based on animal studies, is anticipated to be a groundbreaking treatment for multiple viral infections. The combined market size for these infections is projected to grow from $8 billion in 2024 to $12 billion in three years. The planned innovative adaptive clinical trial will assess the drug’s effectiveness against various respiratory viruses in humans.

NV-387 has completed Phase I trials for safety and tolerability, showing promising results. The unique design of NV-387 is believed to prevent viral escape, unlike current antiviral treatments. This broad-spectrum approach could eliminate delays in treatment, akin to how physicians currently prescribe antibiotics.

The success of the Phase II trial could potentially position NV-387 as the first-line treatment for any respiratory viral infections. The company is optimistic but acknowledges that regulatory approval is required before proceeding.
