Interesting article. It was contributed by Chris Meeks... anyone know who that is?
Given the current dearth of simple/effective treatments for COVID, It's puzzling that BIXT isn't making more of a splash. Since Prolectin shows no toxicity or adverse side effects, you would think that countries like China and India would be fast-tracking approval of this drug.
I can see why the apparently corrupt FDA would slow walk any drug that would take market share from big Pharma but can't understand why countries with large at-risk populations and limited big Pharma influence wouldn't be knocking at BIXT's door.

"Pfizer and Clear Creek Bio to Collaborate on a Research Program Targeting SARS-CoV-2 Papain-Like Protease
Agreement aims to advance discovery and development of novel papain-like protease (PLpro) inhibitors and potentially introduce a new class of oral antivirals in the fight against COVID-19
Expands Pfizer’s innovative anti-infective pipeline, complementing the company’s existing portfolio of COVID-19 products
NEW YORK & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and Clear Creek Bio, Inc. today announced a research collaboration and exclusive license agreement to advance the discovery and development of potential inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro) for the oral treatment of COVID-19. PLpro is an essential enzyme, which, along with the main protease (Mpro), plays an important role in viral replication. This program will expand Pfizer’s innovative anti-infective pipeline and, if successful, will complement Pfizer’s existing portfolio of COVID-19 products with direct-acting antiviral agents against different SARS-CoV-2 targets.
“COVID-19 has proven to be a devastating and highly unpredictable disease, one with the potential to remain a global health concern for years to come,” said Charlotte Allerton, Chief Scientific Officer, Anti-Infectives and Head of Medicine Design, of Pfizer. “It is critical that we try to stay ahead of the virus, continuing to advance clinical development opportunities for our current oral therapy as well as innovating through our internal programs and strategic partnerships to bring forward additional monotherapy and/or combination treatment candidates that we believe may play a role in the ongoing fight against COVID-19.”
“As COVID-19 continues to evolve, there is a significant need for oral antivirals with novel mechanisms of action,” said Vikram Sheel Kumar, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Clear Creek Bio. “We explored the druggable SARS-CoV-2 genome and identified PLpro as a promising and untapped target. Leveraging our team’s expertise and success in bringing novel drugs from idea to approval, we internally developed highly potent PLpro inhibitors. We look forward to working with Pfizer, a global leader in antiviral development, to advance a new class of oral antivirals for COVID-19.”
Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will work together to identify a PLpro candidate to progress into the clinic, at which time Pfizer will be solely responsible for further development and commercialization activities. Clear Creek Bio will receive an undisclosed upfront payment and will be eligible to receive additional potential milestone payments plus royalties on future product sales.
About SARS-CoV-2 PLpro
SARS-CoV-2 has two essential proteases, the main protease (Mpro) and the papain-like protease (PLpro), both required to fully process the viral polyprotein and assemble a functional replicase complex. In addition to its critical role in viral replication, the PLpro also contributes to dysregulation of host innate immunity and immune evasion.

$BIXT is the only antiviral that eliminates 100% of Covid19 in 3 days. But it needs time to brew and age (the major drug Trials....). The first trial was 100% success, ZERO covid left after 3 days in the body. IV dosed....
.40 is the floor, and sooner or latter it will rip short to medium term.
I do not know when it will rip, but the news is spreading on LinkedIn and at $500/per person investment work shops...
In 3 years $BIXT could be a retirement stock. I have looked at the bio-chemistry on the $BIXT Carbohydrate Galectins.
In my professional opinion, They are destined to spawn an entire generation of new non toxic antivirals this decade, that can reduce the risk of lingering virus triggered cancers. It can be customized to target Every known virus, one virus at a time, like Moderna is doing with its so called vaccines, that are actually just immune booster targeting boosters, and not true Polio style vaccines.
But it is not a day trade 1-2 day stock. It is, IMO, a good ethical investment, and sooner or later a major retirement stock, IMO. But it will be a cash burner, short term...like all of these early stage firms, With the drug trials... I do suspect they may be fully funded short-medium term, and news may drop any day, so this may be a good time to buy. Support looks solid chart wise, and over sold. We will see in the next filings.
That said, news from left field of JV deals with funding, Analyst articles, and road show investment work shops can bring in new buyers, and unlike most OTC stocks, the $BIXT VP of Marketing is a seasoned expert Bio-Tech drug company analyst... Never seen that on an OTC drug start up before... Got wonder if he is waking up the Big boys that might one day co-fund major trials for other Non-covid19 viruses....
The future potential for JV funded by major drug firms, development and trials for antivirals for other viruses is a real possibility too, that could happen and give the retail share price a real boost..
I will adding to my shares going forward...
$BIXT may start singing a new tune as Season 3 of "Its not just the flu" plays out in China and the US Hospitals in early January.
yea hope it stop sleeping soon
$BIXT is a real sleeper, huge potential wide spectrum antiviral and blood O2 measuring tech...

Indoor masking in L.A. could return as COVID cases spike, health officials say
by: Josh DuBose
Posted: Dec 1, 2022 / 11:12 PM PST
Updated: Dec 1, 2022 / 11:21 PM PST
Los Angeles County Director of Public Health, Dr. Barbara Ferrer, believes that if COVID-19 cases continue to rise, the county could move back into the high transmission level as soon as next week, which would mean the return of mandatory indoor masking in places like restaurants, bars and schools.
“We would be back to saying our health care system is getting stressed out, we need to slow down transmission,” Ferrer said in a Thursday press conference.
She also announced that the county was moving from low transmission levels to medium because cases and hospitalizations are rising.
L.A. County has now reported more than 2,700 cases a day or 188 cases per 100,000 residents weekly.
Health officials said the county will move into high transmission levels if reporting grows to 200 cases per 100,000 residents weekly.
“We had more people report to us positive COVID tests after they came back from Thanksgiving than we have ever had before, so there is just a lot of transmission,” Ferrer said.
Hospitals have also seen an influx of children impacted by the coronavirus.
At Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, COVID positivity jumped by 2.8% from October to November with 1 in 4 children admitted into the intensive care unit.
“I will tell you, I am definitely being pushed to the limit,” Dr. Neela Sethi, a pediatrician at Valencia Pediatrics, told KTLA’s Pedro Rivera.
Dr. Sethi said she’s seen a winter surge of COVID fill up emergency rooms and hospital beds and that’s not including children hit hard by RSV and the flu.
“Our ERs are completely overwhelmed. There are no hospital beds. ER wait times are like four to five hours. So, what we tell parents is contact us, let us help you with supportive care,” Sethi said.
This is why, according to Sethi, doctors have asked parents to just keep a close eye on their kids before bringing them in for treatment.
“If they feel like they are getting very sick overnight and struggling to breathe or they look very out of it and they’re not eating, they’re not drinking fluids, they’re not sleeping as well, then it warrants an ER visit,” Sethi said.
As of Thursday night, county public health officials are strongly recommend people wear masks indoors and urge residents to get vaccinated for protection from more severe symptoms of COVID.

Only 2 perfect clinical trials in the past decade
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mythbusting-quest-perfect-clinical-trial-michael-sheikh/
"When we at Bioxytran got our clinical trial results back I was astounded because I had never seen a perfect clinical trial in all my years in biotech. Being the diligent researcher that I am, I tried to find one but none of the search terms yielded any fruit. Then I narrowed the search looking for a 100% response rate. I found it, the other perfect clinical trial this past decade."
"Gilead Sciences purchased Pharmasset for $11.0 billion to get their at-the-time promising Phase 3 ready Hepatitis C (HCV) asset in 2011. They had a perfect 21/21 response rate for sustained virological response 12 weeks after treatment (SVR12)."
"Now, this was an open-label trial with no control, but the endpoint was SVR12 which is a proxy for the complete elimination of the virus. They enrolled 100 participants separated out by the severity of HCV; some had never had treatment and others had failed the standard of care. Across the board the results were phenomenal and two of the five cohorts had a perfect score."
"Gilead’s HCV drug is now known as Harvoni, and many refer to it as a cure for Hepatitis C as it was extremely efficacious across HCV genotypes, referred to as pan-genotypic. Harvoni (sofosbuvir) interferes with two proteins involved in the viral life cycle, preventing the replication of virions. The treatment uses sofosbuvir which is an NS5B inhibitor and a second molecule called ledipasivir which is a NS5A inhibitor. The Mechanism of Action (MOA) of these antiviral is through protease inhibition which stops the viral replication. Ledipasvir is an inhibitor of the HCV NS5A protein, which is a non-enzymatic, nonstructural protein required for viral replication. Sofosbuvir, on the other hand, is an inhibitor of the HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which helps make new RNA for the new virions."

In this article:
Complete elimination of viral load in 100% of patients at day 7 vs 6% in placebo (p=.001)
Complete elimination of viral load in 88% of patients at day 3 vs 0% in placebo (p=.001)
Treated population experienced no viral rebounds within the 14-day observation period
BOSTON, Nov. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BIOXYTRAN, INC. (OTCQB: BIXT), (the "Company"), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing oral drugs to treat COVID-19 and other viral diseases, announced positive topline safety and efficacy results of its randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial in 34 patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19. During the 7 days of treatment, an orally administered Galectin Antagonist in the form of a chewable tablet was administered 8 times per day on an hourly basis. The endpoint was a statistically significant reduction in viral load measured by the number of patients reaching a below threshold PCR value (Ct value ≥ 29) by day 7. The trial met its endpoint with a 100% response rate by day 7 versus 6% in placebo, which was statistically significant (p-value = .001). Our analysis also revealed an 88% response rate by day 3, which was statistically significant (p-value = .001). There were no drug-related serious adverse events (SAE's) in the patient population or viral rebounds by day 14 in the patient population. The positive data from this clinical trial provided the rationale of dosing and protocol design for study in an upcoming phase 2/3 registrational trial.
The full text of the preprint is located at the following link.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.09.22282151v1
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance ("NMR") testing was used to elucidate the Mechanism of Action of the specific Galectin Antagonist. Tests concluded that ProLectin-M ("PL-M") binds relatively strongly to galectin-3 with micromolar affinity down to 2µM. While the Galectin Antagonist does indeed bind to the S1 Spike Protein, the study showed that it could bind in 2 different orientations with galectin-3. The NMR binding data indicate that 5 molecules of galectin-3 are required to saturate one spike protein. These findings on the mechanism of action supported the decisions on dosing, duration, and ingestion. The results showed PL-M's inhibition of galectin-3 and the blockade of the N-Terminal Domain of the S-1 subunit.
"Our sights were set on a statistically significant reduction of viral load by day 7 because we expected that there would be real-world issues that we would be unable to account for in our theories about efficacy. We can say that these trial results exceeded our expectations by orders of magnitude, but the proof of that statement lies in our trial design which should have been hourly instead of daily so that we would have had a more detailed picture of how rapidly the viral load was dropping" said Dr. Alben Sigamani, Bioxytran Medical Advisory Board .
$BIXT opportunities:
1) Bloomberg stated in a November 1st article on long COVID that "at least 140 million people worldwide are suffering with long COVID and Harvard University economist David Cutler puts the total cost of long Covid in the US at $3.7 trillion**. That's equal to more than 80% of government outlays for the pandemic through the end of July. And scientists still don't know what causes it, how many people it affects, or how to prevent and treat it."
Yes, I agree, And could be the treatment for many other viruses
The fact that $BIXT 's Drug Trial is Peer Reviewed is Crucial!! This lends immense credibility to their product........
Expecting the stock price to surge like a Tsunami..........lol
Z
Bingo......this Galectin stuff is outstanding from what I can see.......gonna put a lot of hurt on Big Pharma.....They better put up some MAJOR bucks before they go the way of T-Rex........lol
Z
$BIXT vol and price are trending higher, as Hospitals face the new waves of flu and Covid etc...While the rest of the market a laxative dump today...
Gotta love being in the right stock at the right time that might one day make history... and help send the flu and covid to the ash heap of history?
Indeed it is:
Well, that Peer Reviewed Drug Trial $BIXT just announced is out of this world.......
And it is inherently non toxic.
$BIXT 10-Q just filed. https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001445815/000149315222031402/form10-q.htm

Note worthy that officers/directors cancelled a pile of back pay debt about 8 weeks ago.
You right , and possibly that what might happen..
IMO.
"Well.....if $BIXT can prevent infection and remove viruses......that's pretty much the definition of a 'Cure'.........lol"
It stops the virus from infecting human cells and enslaving them to become factories that clone the virus, but only while taking the Galectin drug.
If used right away as soon as one is exposed or infected, it reduces viral load on the one taking it and thus reduces the amount of virus one can broadcast in the air that would expose others to the virus. Thus reducing transmission and infection of others...
It is not a "cure" like the Polio vaccine that is a permanent cure from future infections. It will be interesting to see what it does for long haul covid19.... and other autoimmune diseases...
IIRC Polio is DNA based virus and Covid/Flu are RNA based viruses. The RNA viruses mutate super fast, making them the devils spawn of never ending variations of mutants that get around immunity...
So $BIXT 's new technology, based on Galectins is a possible game changer for all flu/corona/Covid viruses.
Well, that Peer Reviewed Drug Trial $BIXT just announced is out of this world.......
Z
Well.....if $BIXT can prevent infection and remove viruses......that's pretty much the definition of a 'Cure'.........lol

I guess in theory one of them could buy out $BIXT.........

*Hell of read and dot connecting, Nobel prize....... $BIXT dot connecting history
Nice post. Looks like we're ready to head back up !
I am not sure I have heard this called a cure, and lets be careful, because the SEC screwed us here in 2020 sending this stock to CE land, puting this promising technology 2 years behind (because the SEC was regulating something they know nothing about, IMO, and many MD's these days follow an Insurance industry how not to get sued guide MD's must follow or loose their license, and so MD's most of them do not stay up on the latest science..)
That said, eliminating the ability of the virus to infect human cells, used as a drug, and giving the immune system time to adapt and complete the elimination of the virus and in the combined process reducing the peak viral load and ability of infected people to spread the virus to others is the target here...
It is not, IMO a one time cure... IMO it would have a huge market for use every time people get a new infection. It is non toxic and safe from what we know so far...and intrinsically safe by design kind of like a condom LOL.
So big pharma would love it.
There is no "cure" for mutating, adapting on the fly viruses that are already spread world wide.. and mutating on demand among a world full of antivaxers.
If by cure, you mean eliminating all traces of the virus in days, yes. But Covid 19 has already proven it can adapted to our Immune systems and re-cloak itself as something just new enough to get a grip on us every new generation....
In with case the BIXT drug would be safe enough to use on demand like water for dehydration.
Seems like a safe add down here. Guessing otcx didn't read the news.
yes should be much higher
Bioxytran Releases Positive Top-Line Results From Phase 2 Trial of Galectin Antagonist on Covid-19..
https://www.bioxytraninc.com/press-releases/bioxytran-releases-positive-top-line-results-from-phase-2-trial
Science behind the product:
Bioxytran has a significant subject matter expertise in the formulation of an oral form of a Galectin inhibitor. The company was able to capitalize on Dr Platt’s many years of research and recent peer reviewed articles on Galectins and COVID-19 to quickly complete the proof of concept phase. Dr Platt, who has a PhD in carbohydrate chemistry, was the first scientist to express the gene, which he named Galectin, 28 years ago.
We know that the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the coronavirus spike protein is similar from genus to genus. On the COVID-19 spike protein scientists have elucidated a galectin fold on the side of the spike that should have a binding affinity to sugar carbohydrates like ProLectin. Animal studies on influenza (needs reference) have demonstrated that inhibiting galectin-1 improves outcomes in lethal influenza models. Other animal’s models show that galectin inhibitors act as immune modulators in cancer and other diseases.
Our molecule is designed to stay in the blood and attach to the COVID-19 protein spikes. When the inhibitor binds to the spike it effectively tags the virus for elimination through the liver. Galectins are theorized to participate in the antiviral defense which starts at the initial recognition of the virus before it binds to the entry receptor all the way through the activation and amplification of the innate and adaptive responses of the immune system.
Galectins are adhesion molecules and allow neutrophils to stay prepositioned in the pulmonary capillaries for a quicker reaction in case of infection. They are also involved in the trafficking of macrophages responsible for the inflammatory cycle of the cytokine storm. Additionally, research in cancer and viruses has demonstrated that galectins form a plaque on CD-8 T-cells which inhibit the adaptive immune response. Therefore, our galectin antagonist should not only reduce the viral load of COVID-19, but also modulate the immune response by reducing the trafficking of macrophages thereby reducing the cytokine storm and returning the immune system to homeostasis. We also expect it to restore functionality to the adaptive immune system by reactivating anergic T-cells that were covered in galectin plaque.
If given early in the disease, we believe that our first drug candidate, galectin antagonist, will block viral entry and tag the virus for elimination through the liver. In theory the virus will be eliminated from the blood stream after a couple of treatments. At a later stage in the disease pathology, a more potent IV solution, ProLectin- I could restore adaptive immune function to help eradicate the virus from the body. In severe COVID-19 patients the drug, ProLectin-A, could reduce the trafficking of macrophages responsible for the cytokine storm and restore immune homeostasis. ProLectin-F is designed to treat organ damage after virus is eliminated from the system.
Galectin Antagonist is the first-in-class of inhibitors to cover a range of Galectins associated with viral replication adhesion and immune system blockage (not modulation). The N-terminal domain (NTD) of the coronavirus spike protein is similar from genus to genus. On the COVID-19 spike protein the Galectin fold on the side of the spike has a binding affinity to sugar carbohydrates like Galectin Antagonist.
Galectins are members of a family of proteins called lectins. These proteins interact with carbohydrate sugars located on the surface, in between cells, and on the Galectin fold of the spike protein. These interactions cause the cells to change behavior, including cell movement, multiplication, and other cellular functions. The interactions between lectins and their target carbohydrate sugars occur via a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD), within the lectins. Galectins have a CRD that binds specifically to sugar molecules. They have a broad range of functions, including regulation of cell survival and adhesion, promotion of cell-to-cell interactions, growth of blood vessels, regulation of the immune response and inflammation. During viral infections Galectins are upregulated and downregulated based on the type of virus.
Bioxytran intends to develop and, through third party contracts, manufacture oxygen therapeutics. Our oxygen therapeutics are a new class of pharmaceuticals that are administered intravenously to transport oxygen to the body’s tissues. Currently there are four drug candidates to treat a stroke. Abciximab from Eli Lilly is a platelet aggregation inhibitor. Clinical trials show little advantage over placebos and could lead to dangerous side effects, including more bleeding in patients. Cerovive from AstraZeneca is a Nitrone-based neuro protectant currently in phase III clinical trials which shows no significant benefit over placebos with respect to changes in neurological impairment as measured by the national institute of health stroke scale. Candesartan, from AstraZeneca, is an angiotensin receptor blocker which was used to control blood pressure. Its efficacy in stroke patients still must be proven. Ancod from Knoll Pharmaceuticals is an anti-coagulant that acts by breaking down the fibrinogen. It increases the risk of hemorrhage similar to those associated with tPA. Using our issued patents and proprietary technology, we intend to develop and manufacture BXT-25 and similar drugs for applications including treatment of stroke conditions. Our patent position consists of 2 parts: a patent related to our co-polymer technology issued in 2009 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office expiring in February 2029 (method patent for producing modified pectins consisting of neutral sugar sequences ) and assigned to us outright by David Platt; various methods to stabilize a single hemoglobin molecule that are in the public domain; Dr. Platt did not receive any compensation from the Company in consideration of his assignment of the patent. Additionally, Bioxytran, Inc. has an exclusive license for an FDA approved technology monitoring NADH (OxySense), the control marker in the body’s conversion of Oxygen to Energy, or the energy generating chain. The technology provides a clinical end-point for measuring oxygen supply to the brain in real-time. OxySense, developed by MDX LifeSciences, Inc., provide us with a rapid, cost-effective and validated development of safe new molecules that address unmet medical needs in disease indications resulting from hypoxia. MDX LifeSciences has licensed a patent (Tissue Metabolic Score for Patient Monitoring) to Bioxytran for clinical monitoring of oxygen delivery through oxygen carriers.
