As previously released, these data will serve as the basis for an Oral Presentation on Brilacidin\u2019s antiviral properties to be delivered at the American Society of Virology\u2019s 40th Annual Meeting (ASV 2021), taking place July 19-23, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus continue to pose a significant challenge in the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, the B.1.1.7 variant, first discovered in the United Kingdom, is the most common variant in the U.S., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/04\/07\/us\/uk-variant-dominant-coronavirus-strain\/index.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to<\/a> Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky. Due to a potential lessened therapeutic effect against variants, monoclonal antibody treatments have been called into question. Eli Lilly, for example, recently stopped supplying bamlanivimab as a solo therapy for treatment of COVID-19. Variants are showing a similar ability to reduce the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, with safety concerns associated with vector-based vaccines surfacing.<\/p>\n<p>To help satisfy a large unmet need in the antiviral therapeutics area, the Company is developing Brilacidin as a potential novel broad spectrum antiviral drug.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Brilacidin and COVID-19<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Innovation Pharma is developing Brilacidin for COVID-19 under Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and currently is enrolling patients in a Phase 2 clinical trial of Brilacidin for treatment of moderate-to-severe COVID-19 in hospitalized patients (see <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/NCT04784897\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NCT04784897<\/a>).
