We're definitely waiting for "TRIALS"
Interim report "Conducting non-interventional preparatory work to expand hospitalised patient populations for potential treatment with SNG001, which are likely to include: ventilated patients with confirmed viral pneumonia; and patients who are unable to clear virus and become persistent viral “shedders”, a majority of whom are immunocompromised. Subject to this preparatory work and regulatory approval timelines, trials are anticipated to start in H1 2024. "
Marcin Mankowski CMO RNS "Marcin’s in-depth knowledge of the Company and SNG001 as well as his strong track record in leading the strategy, design and implementation of global clinical development programmes, will be invaluable to us as we prepare to enter further clinical trials of SNG001.”
Joseph Colliver RNS "Joseph Colliver, newly appointed CFO of Synairgen, commented: “This is a pivotal time for the Company, as it works towards the next phase of clinical trials with SNG001.
We also do NOT know that the delays are down to regulatory approval. It might be this - but the key line might be "Subject to this preparatory work... and the company is still not ready. This is much more likely than a hold-up by regulators for tiny trials in specifically targeted populations with a drug that has an unblemished safety record over many years. If they still intend to test SNG in ventilated patients that might be slower but again - it'll be highly targeted even in this population and as you know SNG likes a fire to put out and is effective well into the cytokine storm. There will be no shortage of volunteers and for many of them it'll be the last throw of the dice.
