30 April 2021 RNS :
The degree of breathlessness at start of treatment indicates which patients should be treated with SNG001 both in hospital and at home
- Analysis of the combined data from the Hospital and Home Cohorts showed that the more breathless patients are significantly more likely (>3 fold) to recover on inhaled interferon beta (SNG001) than placebo
- The study results reinforce confidence in ongoing Phase III study, with data readout on track for H2 2021
Richard Marsden, CEO of Synairgen, said: "I am delighted by the finding that SNG001 treatment led to a threefold likelihood of recovery to 'no limitation of activities' in the markedly/severely breathless population compared to those on placebo in the home and hospital setting, and that further analyses reinforce our previous findings. It increases our conviction in the approach we have taken to conduct an international Phase III trial in hospitalised patients requiring supplemental oxygen, which is scheduled to read out in the second half of this year.
Professor Tom Wilkinson, Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the University of Southampton, commented: "The SG016 COVID-19 trial of inhaled interferon beta has been very successful. Although the vast majority of non-hospitalised patients had very mild symptoms, the effects of SNG001 on the small group of markedly and severely breathless patients indicated who might be benefitting most from SNG001. Assessment of breathlessness as a predictor of protracted recovery in the combined Home and Hospital Cohorts showed us that non-breathless patients have no need for the innate immune response boost that interferon beta provides, whereas the patients who were breathless derive strong benefit from SNG001. This tells us that we should target SNG001 at COVID-19 patients with marked or severe breathlessness where it has a potentially significant benefit."
My assessment : The Activ-2 may need tweaking based on above output to target more directly the most 'at need' patients
Global Phase 3 bang on track and will produce stunning results. Then we will see all the big Pharma boys biting Synairgen's hand off. Also suspect that this 30% share decline over past few weeks is a result of nervous PI's, whilst the large institutional investment companies will be quietly building their portfolio's (most under the radar thresholds)
Patience will serve all LTHolders well :-)
