The FACTS are that there is no pharma company out there that has a drug for the FLU, one that is as safe and effective as FluCide(TM). You can find government "juiced up" companies with goals for a broad spectrum drug but none with preclinical studies results like FluCide(TM):

NanoViricides, Inc. - FluCide(TM) - About FluCide(TM) Data presented at the 3rd Annual Influenza Conference held by GTC Bio on Friday, July 11

The Company believes that its FluCide™ drug candidate will be effective against most if not all influenza viruses, including the H7N9 bird flu, H3N2 or H1N1 epidemic viruses, H5N1 bird flu, seasonal influenzas, as well as novel influenza viruses. This is because FluCide is based on the Company’s biomimetic technology, mimicking the natural sialic acid receptors for the influenza virus on the surface of a nanoviricide® polymeric micelle. It is important to note that all influenza viruses bind to the sialic acid receptors, even if they rapidly mutate. The FluCide drug candidates have already shown strong effectiveness against H1N1 and H3N2 influenza viruses in highly lethal animal models. The injectable FluCide drug candidate has shown 1,000X greater viral load reduction as compared to oseltamivir (Tamiflu®), the current standard of care, in a highly lethal influenza infection animal model. The Company believes that these animal model results should translate readily into humans.

NanoViricides has also developed an oral drug candidate against influenza. This oral version was found to be dramatically more effective than oseltamivir (TamiFlu®) in animals given a highly lethal level of influenza virus infection. This oral FluCide may be the very first nanomedicine that is effective when taken by mouth.

We are now progressing to a 1kg scale-up of FluCide, and enabling in-process control instrumentation. We need to make approximately 2.5Kg of our FluCide drug candidate for further Tox Package studies because of the excellent safety demonstrated by this drug candidate in safety and toxicology studies in both mouse and rat animal models. CMC stands for "Chemistry, Manufacture, and Controls," and relates to being able to make the drug substance and the drug product in a reproducible fashion, batch after batch. CMC programs for nanomedicines are relatively complex compared to those of small molecules. We have focused on developing scalable, reproducible processes from the very onset, which has helped us minimize the process development time.

[Seems to me they have completed the 1kg scale-up recipe:]

FluCide

Phase I and II of tox successfully completed

Making material for last Phase in large animals

MersCide

Waiting for Public Health England to request the drug (sitting on the shelf) for testing. They got distracted by the Ebola outbreak

EbolaCide

Making more drug for continuation of the testing by USAMRIID

Had FluCide not turned out to be so incredibly safe, we would have been done with tox by now. Incredibly safe is not a bad thing at all!
