To reiterate the following:
Clarification regarding trial of SNG001 in hospitalised COVID-19 patients
Southampton, UK - 21 July 2020: Synairgen plc (LSE: SNG), the respiratory drug discovery and development company which originated from research at the University of Southampton, issues clarification with respect to yesterday's announcement
§ The trial of SNG001 in hospitalised COVID-19 patients is a Phase II trial (as clearly stated in the announcements of 18 and 25 March). A Phase II trial is designed to test the efficacy of a drug and takes place before the drug is approved or able to be marketed.
§ The protocol was approved by both MHRA and HRA (as detailed in announcement of 18 March) and further details can be found in respect of the full study on the Company's website https://www.synairgen.com/investors/presentations
§ As per the announcement of yesterday, the Company will be working with the regulators and other key groups to progress this potential COVID-19 treatment as rapidly as possible. As with any drug undergoing clinical trials, Synairgen will require regulatory approval before SNG001 can be marketed on a commercial basis.
The Company will provide additional updates in due course and will continue with further analysis of the data from the trial.
- To me this means one thing and one thing only; Synairgen want to take SNG001 to market and our next RNS will be regarding this - COPD may form part of it but realistically this is the obvious focus for the company during these times.
