COPD results were good. Scinv's just desperate as always to influence the SP back down to 10p.
-> Interim analysis from the phase 2 trial in COPD patients with confirmed respiratory viral infection found that treatment with SNG001 improved lung antiviral responses compared to placebo. The trial included participants with a range of common respiratory virus infections, including rhinovirus, influenza, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), parainfluenza and coronavirus – although not the specific strain that causes COVID-19. In exacerbating patients who already required treatment with oral corticosteroids and/or antibiotics, treatment with SNG001 also significantly improved lung function compared to those who didn’t receive the drug. Aside from improving outcomes on these measures, SNG001 was also well-tolerated during the treatment period in a high-risk study population, with the mean age of participants being 66 years old. “Overall, SNG001 has now been shown to raise the body’s natural viral defences when challenged by a wide variety of respiratory viruses, indicating that it could be an important treatment in the coming virus season, where there may be coinfection with influenza and other viruses alongside COVID-19,” said Richard Marsden, chief executive officer of Synairgen.
