Thus, their mode is complementary to NV-CoV-2 and combination therapy with one of these drugs and NV-CoV-2 may yield substantial benefits. We also note that none of these drugs in development attack the complete lifecycle of the virus as NV-387-Rp is designed to do, to the best of our knowledge.

In various animal models of lethal virus infection challenge, NV-387 was found to lead to substantial increase in survival, compared to even approved drugs where available, indicating potential for successful clinical regulatory development as a treatment for these viruses. Additional criteria studied in these animal models also further bolstered these expectations of potentially successful regulatory development.

Brincidofovir, based on the toxic drug cidofovir, is in development by Chimerix, but certain clinical trials involving brincidofovir have failed to meet the desired end points and have actually shown a greater fatality rate in brincidofovir treated subjects compared to placebo. Foscarnet is also used for VZV and ARN, but its toxicity is high.

Several antibodies had received EUAs, but all of these have been revoked due to loss of efficacy as new variants emerged. None of the available drugs attack the external circulating virus particles or block the re-infection cycle as NV-CoV-2 is designed to do.

It is possible that NV-387 may have similar antiviral effect against many other viruses, something that we plan on continuing to evaluate as our programs advance. This expectation is based on the mechanism of NV-387 in that it mimics sulfated proteoglycan structures associated with host cells that over 90% of human pathogenic viruses are known to use as attachment receptors.

The oral syrup enables body-weight-based dose titration as needed for pediatric treatments. Both of these formulations have been evaluated in the Phase Ia/Ib human clinical trial of NV-387.

Both drugs led to approximately 85-100% increase in survival of the animals. Moreover, treatment with an oral co-formulation of NV-387 and tecovirimat together developed by us (that we call NV-387-m-T, “m” for “mixed-in”), led to a significantly increased survival improvement of about 138% compared to either drug given alone.

Some viruses use more than one receptor. The nanoviricide platform technology allows use of different ligands on the same nanoviricide drug to be able to attack such difficult viruses. It would be very difficult for a virus to become resistant to a nanoviricide that mimics the virus’ cognate cellular receptor.

Moreover, the nanoviricides were long acting. Viral load suppression continued to hold for more than four weeks after stopping HIVCide treatment. We believe that this strong effect and sustained effect together indicate that HIVCide can be developed as a single agent that would provide “Functional Cure” from HIV/AIDS.
