""Brilacidin has previously been tested in over 500 human subjects across multiple clinical indications where it has been shown to be efficacious and well-tolerated"

What a sad lapse in scientific writing. Indeed what a sad lapse in truthful writing.

Brilacidin has shown an unpleasant toxicity profile in every clinical study performed, with peripheral neuropathy and/or hypertensive spikes shown in the majority of subjects unfortunate enough to receive the drug candidate. Here's just one study that demonstrates that:



As for efficacy, in the clinical study in COVID-19 brilacidin was shown not only to add zero benefit to standard of care, it actually showed a clear trend towards delaying time to recovery, as well as adding toxicity that was unnecessary by definition (https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/results/NCT04784897?term=brilacidin&draw=2&rank=2).

The authors of that piece have either failed to perform even a rudimentary minimum of literature review to substantiate their piece, or are very dishonest.

I hope it's the former although I suspect we all know who has influenced their research and that individual's unreasonable adherence to his "brainchild".
