On the 18th March Synairgen announced its plans to initiate a pilot clinical trial of SNG001 in COVID-19 patients. The trial will provide data on the efficacy of inhaled interferon beta in the treatment of ambulatory and hospitalised patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Since the announcement, we have received a number of requests for SNG001 supplies to treat individuals outside the trial. As SNG001 is an experimental drug, untested as to safety and efficacy in this patient group, we regret that we are unable to fulfil any such request at this time. Synairgen’s team is working very hard to establish these measures in a well-controlled environment as quickly as possible. https://www.synairgen.com/
On the 18th March Synairgen announced that it has received expedited approvals from the United Kingdom's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and Health Research Authority (HRA) to conduct a trial of SNG001 in COVID-19 patients. Synairgen is developing a formulation of IFN-beta, called SNG001, for direct delivery to the lungs via nebulisation, to treat and/or prevent LRT illness caused by respiratory viruses. Synairgen’s Phase II trial in COVID-19 patients, called SG016 (EudraCT: 2020-001023-14), is a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Initially, the pilot phase of the study involving 100 COVID-19 patients, is taking place across a number of NHS trusts in the United Kingdom.
