Gunto " Aside from Andybe4, does anyone else recall this article? https://www.clinicaltrialsarena.com/features/timing-of-synairgen-phase-iii-nebulised-covid-19-treatment-remains-a-challenge/ "
thanks gunto an interesting trip down memory lane - written a couple of months b4 Sprinter landed - when the Mcap was $551.18m.
The most important point in hindsight is the part that deal with patient ID and the collection of samples
" If SPRINTER identifies specific patients, such as those with defects in interferon-signaling pathways, SNG001 could become a treatment with a specific subset of patients, Jackson adds. This includes individuals with rare genetic mutations in different pathways, Duffy says.
Another target population could be individuals with high autoantibody counts of autoantibodies against type I interferons, which increase with age and have been linked to severe cases of COVID-19,
SPRINTER could review some potential inflammatory markers in the subjects, Fish says. But Dr Phillip Monk, chief scientific officer at Synairgen, says SPRINTER investigators have not been asked to measure such markers. "
Whatever the difficulties of harvesting samples at the height of the pandemic - to not even attempt to do it, to throw all of that golden data in the clinical waste bin, is the main reason why they've struggled and ultimately failed to find the target population in the 2 and a half years since.
