Synairgen Vaccine SNG001 Trial: Details
During the 16-day treatment period, patients receiving SNG001 were more than twice likely to recover in contrast to patients who received a placebo. In addition, the measure of breathlessness was much lower in patients who received SNG001 in comparison with those receiving placebo. Further, Synairgen said there were no deaths among SNG001 patients.
Richard Marsden, CEO of Synairgen, stated:
“We are all delighted with the trial results announced today, which showed that SNG001 greatly reduced the number of hospitalised COVID-19 patients who progressed from ‘requiring oxygen’ to ‘requiring ventilation’. It also showed that patients who received SNG001 were at least twice as likely to recover to the point where their everyday activities were not compromised through having been infected by SARS-CoV-2. In addition, SNG001 has significantly reduced breathlessness, one of the main symptoms of severe COVID-19.”
He added:
“This assessment of SNG001 in COVID-19 patients could signal a major breakthrough in the treatment of hospitalised COVID-19 patients. Our efforts are now focused on working with the regulators and other key groups to progress this potential COVID-19 treatment as rapidly as possible.”
SNG001 is a formulation of IFN-beta, naturally occurring protein that orchestrates the body’s antiviral responses. SNG001 is inhaled directly into the lungs via nebulization, to treat or prevent LRT illness respiratory viruses cause.
