Rns extract: The YODA study will now examine concomitant administration of prednisolone and Traumakine in order to confirm, in vivo, the observed interference of corticosteroids on IFN-beta bioactivity in the INTEREST study and ex vivo lung samples. These YODA results are expected during Q1 2019.
Dr Markku Jalkanen, CEO of Faron, said: "We believe these results confirm that the drug product used in the INTEREST study was robust and effective. While analysis continues, we believe the mixed results seen were due to a higher than anticipated placebo response due to high pneumonia portion, interference of corticosteroids on IFN-beta bioactivity and, as recently announced, the impact of a subgroup of patients' single nucleotide polymorphism C/T mutation in their interferon alpha and beta receptor gene."
