COVID Remains A Global Threat – NanoViricides Set To Begin Clinical Trials For Pan-Coronavirus Drug To Help Defeat COVID Once And For All

NanoViricides, Inc.

By David Willey, Benzinga Learn more about NanoViricides, Inc. by gaining access to the latest research report Effective treatments for COVID-19 remain very few and very limited in their capabilities, even after three years. As a result, there are still high rates of hospitalizations and COVID remains many times more deadly than influenza. A pan-coronavirus drug that is safe enough to be used by anyone and is highly effective remains an unmet medical need. NanoViricides Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: NNVC), a leading biopharmaceutical company developing nanotechnology-based antiviral therapeutics, has been working on a pan-coronavirus antiviral to fulfill this unmet medical need. The company has been a drug discovery company for many years while it has looked to perfect its patented nanoviricide technology, a platform technology that deploys a novel mechanism to combat viruses. With this unique technology, the Company has reported developing a strong R&D pipeline of many antiviral drugs. NanoViricides is now excited to be transitioning into becoming a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, and with a drug against COVID. The clinical trials of NV-CoV-2, the Company’s pan-coronavirus drug, are now imminent. The drug has already successfully completed the preclinical safety and effectiveness studies, and the Company has already set up cGMP manufacturing for the clinical drug products. NanoViricides Drug To Work Against All Current and Future COVID Variants? NV-CoV-2 is a broad-spectrum antiviral that looks to treat most human coronaviruses and will maintain its effectiveness as the variants mutate. This may mark a major step in the fight to find a permanent solution to COVID. Developing a drug that works against multiple COVID variants is key because as each variant mutates and spreads it has the risk of further widespread outbreaks causing an endemic or even a future pandemic. Despite the rollout of the vaccine from companies including Novavax Inc. (NASDAQ: NVAX), Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA), AstraZeneca (NASDAQ: AZN), and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE), there are still over 170,000 infections weekly, as well as close to 3,000 hospitalizations and 1,800 deaths in the USA alone. COVID is still the biggest viral public health threat today. In the ongoing fight against the virus, one major battle is of coping with the multiple coronaviruses and the continuous evolution of their variants. In addition to SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, there are already four known seasonal human coronaviruses, hCoV-229E, hCoV-OC43, hCoV-HKU1, and hCoV-NL63, with NL63 causing the most similar symptoms to SARS-CoV-2. Any of these can lead to a more pathogenic variant in the near future. As these viruses continue to mutate, they render antibodies developed against previous strains ineffective. This means even so-called “ hybrid immunity ”– natural protection combined with vaccination – often only lasts for around eight months. It is important to note that all of the antibody drugs that were given emergency use authorizations (EUAs) have had the EUAs revoked upon becoming ineffective. NV-CoV-2 was found to work against many unrelated coronaviruses. So variants of SARS-CoV-2 (that causes COVID) are highly unlikely to be able to escape it. NanoViricides Drug NV-CoV-2 Could Cater To The Needs of All Patients Antiviral medication is an important way of coping with viral infections, other than vaccines and antibodies, as we all know from HIV. These drugs help the body fight off infection at the cellular level. However, there are significant issues with the antivirals currently on the market for treating COVID. These include Molnupiravir from Merck & Co. (NYSE: MRK), Paxlovid from Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and Remdesivir from Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: GILD), which either have limited effectiveness in treating the disease or carry the risk of serious side effects or both. Of note, they all have significant limitations on which category of patients can be helped. Unlike the existing COVID drugs, NanoViricides’ drug NV-CoV-2 caters to the needs of all patients. The Company has developed oral syrup and oral gummies for use in mild to moderate disease (out-patients). It has developed an injectable solution that can be injected, inhaled or infused, for use in severely ill or hospitalized patients. Having these multiple formulations gives the drug a broad range of applications; it would be available to patients with or without comorbidities and patients of all ages from a child to an octa(+)genarian. This unmatched useability is driven by its demonstrated strong safety and effectiveness in preclinical studies. The company also has the ability to manufacture clinical quantities of the drug products for clinical trials in its own “current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP)”-compliant facility, enabling time and cost savings. NanoViricides At An Inflection Point In Its Lifecycle? The company’s clinical trials could be ground-breaking — a novel anti-coronavirus drug, and the possibility for the trials to also prove that the Company’s platform is indeed capable of delivering clinical drugs. There is a whole pipeline of preclinical drugs that the Company intends to advance further. The global antiviral market was worth $48.1 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow to $79.8 billion at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% from 2019 to 2026. Want to learn more about NanoViricides, Inc.? Visit its website. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. About NanoViricides NanoViricides, Inc. (the "Company") (www.nanoviricides.com) is a development stage company that is creating special purpose nanomaterials for antiviral therapy. The Company's novel nanoviricide® class of drug candidates are designed to specifically attack enveloped virus particles and to dismantle them. Our lead drug candidate is NV-HHV-101 with its first indication as dermal topical cream for the treatment of shingles rash. In addition, we are developing a clinical candidate for the treatment of COVID-19 disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The Company cannot project an exact date for filing an IND for this drug because of its dependence on a number of external collaborators and consultants.The Company is now working on tasks for completing an IND application. The Company is currently pursuing two separate drug candidates for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. NV-CoV-2 is our nanoviricide drug candidate that does not encapsulate Remdesivir. NV-CoV-2-R is our other drug candidate that is made up of NV-CoV-2 with Remdesivir encapsulated in it. The Company believes that since Remdesivir is already US FDA approved, our drug candidate encapsulating Remdesivir is likely to be an approvable drug, if safety is comparable. Remdesivir is developed by Gilead. The Company has developed both of its own drug candidates NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R independently.The Company intends to re-engage into an IND application to the US FDA for NV-HHV-101 drug candidate for the treatment of shingles once its COVID-19 project moves into clinical trials, based on resources availability. The NV-HHV-101 program was slowed down because of the effects of recent COVID-19 restrictions, and re-prioritization for COVID-19 drug development work.The Company is also developing drugs against a number of viral diseases including oral and genital Herpes, viral diseases of the eye including EKC and herpes keratitis, H1N1 swine flu, H5N1 bird flu, seasonal Influenza, HIV, Hepatitis C, Rabies, Dengue fever, and Ebola virus, among others. NanoViricides' platform technology and programs are based on the TheraCour® nanomedicine technology of TheraCour, which TheraCour licenses from AllExcel. NanoViricides holds a worldwide exclusive perpetual license to this technology for several drugs with specific targeting mechanisms in perpetuity for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Rabies, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus, Dengue viruses, Japanese Encephalitis virus, West Nile Virus, Ebola/Marburg viruses, and certain Coronaviruses. The Company intends to obtain a license for poxviruses if the initial research is successful. The Company's technology is based on broad, exclusive, sub-licensable, field licenses to drugs developed in these areas from TheraCour Pharma, Inc. The Company's business model is based on licensing technology from TheraCour Pharma Inc. for specific application verticals of specific viruses, as established at its foundation in 2005.

BioRestorative Therapies (NASDAQ: BRTX) Is Targeting The Global Obesity Epidemic With Its Recent IP Portfolio Expansion

BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.

By Julian Richard, Benzinga BioRestorative Therapies Inc (NASDAQ: BRTX) is expanding its ThermoStem® intellectual property portfolio for treatments targeting obesity, diabetes and other indications related to metabolic syndrome with another patent notice of allowance from the United States Patent Office, adding to its already 19 issued patents under the ThermoStem® patent family. BioRestorative’s ThermoStem® program is a novel cell-based therapy program using cells that have metabolic activity, that once transplanted may be able to regulate the bodies metabolic homeostasis (balance) and potentially induce weight loss and a better metabolic state. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions, such as obesity often times resulting in elevated cholesterol (fat) and glucose levels in the blood, these conditions increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Pioneering research conducted by Biorestorative Therapies demonstrated that brown tissue burns rather than stores energy. This work was published in Stem cells and was performed in a collaboration with the University of Utah. Increased levels of brown tissue support weight loss by increasing metabolism and reducing glucose and cholesterol in the blood. Thus, increasing brown fat levels and activity may be a powerful way to treat metabolic syndrome's significant mortality and morbidity. The ThermoStem® program is unique in that it pioneers the use of cell-based therapy to treat a global unmet medical need. The obesity and metabolic syndrome management space is the subject of intense clinical development and interest in the medical community. ThermoStem® will provide physicians with a therapeutic alternative to drugs with a different mechanism of action currently on the market. with Altimmune (NASDAQ: ALT), Eli Lilly Co (NYSE: LLY) and Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE) looking to emulate the success of Semaglutide, marketed by Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE: NVO) for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide was FDA-approved in 2021 for “chronic weight management” and was the first drug approved for this indication since 2014. Because ThermoStem® is a biologic rather than a synthetic drug, it might be a safer alternative to drugs currently under development that have demonstrated safety issues, such as Altimmunes (NASDAQ: ALT) weight loss drug that demonstrated gastrointestinal side effects when used. Obesity: A Global Epidemic Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are two distinct forms of the same disease. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease, whereas type 2 is linked to lifestyle factors such as poor diet and lack of exercise resulting in obesity. Type 2 diabetes is caused by excess weight, poor diet and lack of exercise, leading to too much glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream. Cells in the body cannot respond as they would normally by removing glucose from the blood, a condition called insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes can often be managed through diet and lifestyle changes such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy weight. However, some people with type 2 diabetes may also need medication or insulin injections to manage their condition. Regardless of the type of diabetes, increased blood sugar can cause diseases of the heart, eyes and kidneys and may result in infection and amputation of the feet. The health economic burden of obesity and type 2 diabetes is profound. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 37 million Americans have diabetes (about 1 in 10), with up to 95% having type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes has historically been considered a disease of adults; however, given the current obesity epidemic, it is becoming more common in children, adolescents and younger adults. By 2030, over one billion individuals will be obese, with 1 in 7 men and 1 in 5 women living with the condition. The World Health Organization has designated obesity as a global epidemic. The total annual cost of diabetes in the United States exceeds $327 billion. This includes direct medical costs, such as hospitalizations and medications, and indirect costs, from lost productivity due to illness or premature death. The burden of obesity and type 2 diabetes is not limited to economic factors alone. The impact of these conditions on the quality of life for patients and carers can be immense. People living with obesity and diabetes are at greater risk for physical, mental, social and emotional difficulties stemming from their condition. Mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression are common among people living with these conditions, partly due to the discrimination they can experience. Physical disability is also an issue for many people living with these conditions. The emotional toll of living with a chronic illness can be immense, leading to feelings of isolation, fear and frustration. ThermoStem® could potentially help with this burden through its novel approach. The novelty of the ThermoStem® technology was acknowledged by the United States Patent Office’s The Notice of Allowance was issued on February 24th of 2023. By expanding the ThermoStem® patent family with another issued patent, BioRestorative is positioned to further strengthen and secure its novel cell-based approach to treat obesity Visit https://www.biorestorative.com for more information on the company and its product candidates. This article was originally published on Benzinga. BioRestorative Therapies was founded by scientists and researchers committed to developing stem cell therapies to address unmet needs in patients with highly prevalent conditions.Our advances in stem cell biology and delivery protocols harbor great promise in conditioning our bodies’ own regenerative potential to treat major diseases more effectively than current interventions.Today, BioRestorative is actively developing programs that aim to dramatically increase quality of care for both (i) chronic back pain caused by disc degeneration, as well as (ii) metabolic disorders including obesity and diabetes.

Odyssey Health, Inc. Preparing for a Phase II Pharmaceutical Concussion Treatment

Odyssey Group Intl Inc.

McapMediaWire -- Odyssey Health, Inc. (OTC: ODYY ), f/k/a Odyssey Group International, Inc., a company focused on creating unique, life-enhancing medical products, is developing a novel neuropharmaceutical treatment for mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) also known as a concussion. Recently, the world’s leading research agency, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), acknowledged that Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is caused by repetitive head trauma, not uncommon in the field of sports and in our military. Odyssey’s lead drug candidate, ONP-002, is designed for the acute setting using an intranasal neurosteroid that works to simultaneously reduce swelling, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Odyssey has completed a Phase I clinical trial and is now preparing for a Phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of its drug. The National Football League (NFL) announced an eighteen percent (18%) increase in concussions sustained in the 2022 season compared to 2021, potentially due to the increased sideline concussion protocols. On average the NFL conducts 1.6 sideline concussion evaluations per game. Data from a recently completed study showed that older retired NFL players had an increased rate of neurocognitive decline compared to non-players. Interestingly, a history of concussion where consciousness was lost had the greatest effect on neurocognitive performance in older athletes. The NFL and NCAA continue to deal with legal claims surrounding concussions. Internationally, Australian Rules footballers have recently brought legal action against the league for downplaying the risk of head injury and failing to have proper protocols in place to protect the players. The cost to the league could be as high as $2 million per player. The league recently reversed its stance and now accepts that CTE is caused in part by repetitive head trauma. In the past few years, concussions in elite rugby leagues have hit an all-time high since records kept. Over twenty-two (22) concussions were documented per one thousand (1000) hours of rugby play. In a significant move, the leagues have instituted a 12-day no-play clause if the player is diagnosed with a concussion. “Given the reported incidences cited, Odyssey Health recognizes the urgent need to bring an effective pharmaceutical to market to treat the concussion epidemic. Not only are the therapeutic effects of the drug vital, but there is a need for a field-deliverable and brain-targeted approach to the drug delivery. Our intranasal delivery should optimize the success of the drug when given to our athletes,” commented Michael Redmond, CEO for Odyssey Health, Inc. About Odyssey Health Inc.

In preclinical studies, ONP-002 has demonstrated equivalent, if not superior, neuroprotective effects compared to related neurosteroids. Animal models of concussion demonstrated that ONP-002 reduces the behavioral pathology associated with brain injury symptoms such as memory impairment, anxiety, and motor/sensory performance. Additionally, ONP-002 is lipophilic and can easily cross the blood-brain barrier to rapidly eliminate swelling, oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain while restoring proper blood flow. Our novel breath-propelled, intranasal brain-drug delivery device is designed with a novel drug dispensing system that creates an effective airflow for depositing concentrated drug deep into the nasal cavity and onto the olfactory region, this could allow for quick and direct diffusion into the brain..
