RedHill's opaganib shows encouraging action against SARS-CoV-2 in preclinical study, shares up 12%

RedHill Biopharma (RDHL +12.0%) announces encouraging results from a preclinical study assessing protease inhibitor opaganib in an in vitro model of human lung bronchial tissue. Opaganib completely inhibited SARS-CoV-2 replication.

Opaganib is currently being evaluated in a global Phase 2/3 trial and a U.S. Phase 2 study in severely ill COVID-19 patients with pneumonia.

Opaganib demonstrated the most potent activity compared to all compounds tested, including the positive control, Gilead Sciences' (GILD -2.4%) remdesivir.

In addition to Opaganib, RedHill’s in-vitro study evaluated the antiviral activity of its Phase-2 stage investigational drug, RHB-107.

A U.S. Phase 2/3 study with RHB-107 in an outpatient setting should launch later this year.

You are most welcome, Scrapiron.
