NRx Pharmaceuticals recently submitted an Emergency Use Authorization request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for ZYESAMI<span>\u2122<\/span> to treat Critical COIVD-19 patients with respiratory failure.<\/p>\n<p>VIP binds specifically to the alveolar type II cell (ATII) in the air sac (alveolus) of the lung, where it has been shown have potent anti-inflammatory\/anti-cytokine activity in animal models of respiratory distress, acute lung injury, and inflammation. Most importantly, VIP stimulates ATII cells to make the surfactant that must coat the lining of the lungs in order for them to exchange oxygen with the blood. Loss of surfactant causes respiratory failure and alveolar collapse, which are hallmarks of COVID-19.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The ATII cells are vulnerable because of their (ACE2) surface receptors, which serve as the route of entry for the virus. Coronavirus infection of the ATII cell shuts down surfactant production, triggers the formation of inflammatory cytokines, and causes cell death (cytopathy). ZYESAMI\u2122 is currently the only proposed treatment for COVID-19 specifically targeting this mechanism of action.<\/p>\n<p>The Aviptadil arm in the I-SPY COVID trial features nebulized administration in order to maximize the impact of this drug on the respiratory system and to minimize potential systemic side effects.<\/p>\n<p>As noted by Dr. Laura Esserman, CO- PI of the I-SPY COVID Trial, &#8220;Based on demonstrating safety and improved time to recovery with intravenous administration in early stages of SARS-CoV-2, Aviptadil is being tested in the ACTIV trials for COVID. We are excited to partner with NRx to test whether nebulized delivery of Aviptadil, which is more easily and directly delivered to the damaged lungs, improves time to recovery and reduces mortality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This trial includes some of the sickest patients suffering from COVID-19, and through this study, we believe we will provide positive outcomes to help them recover more quickly and return home to their families,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Jonathan Javitt<\/span>, MD, MPH, CEO and Chairman of the Board, of NRx. &#8220;Being selected for the I-SPY platform allows NRx the opportunity to work with some of the best physicians and scientists leading clinical trials, and we look forward to providing data to health regulatory authorities, pending the outcome of this trial.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This study is a collaboration between members of Quantum Leap, pharma partners such as NRx and <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> government. This work is supported in part, by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Defense Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense, in collaboration with the Medical, Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Defense Consortium (MCDC). <\/p>\n<p>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <b>About the I-SPY COVID Trial\u00a0 <br \/><\/b><br \/>\n        <\/b>The I-SPY COVID Trial (Investigation of Serial Studies to Predict Your COVID Therapeutic Response with Biomarker Integration and Adaptive Learning) is an adaptive platform trial designed to increase trial efficiency by minimizing the number of participants and time required to evaluate experimental and\/or repurposed drugs. The focus of the trial is to improve outcomes for severely-ill COVID-19 patients\u2014those who require at least 6L of high-flow oxygen either by mask or nasal cannula, known as level 5 on the World Health Organization (WHO) COVID scale, an 8-point ordinal scale of clinical severity status. The primary endpoints include the time to achieve level 4 or less for at least 48 hours on the WHO COVID scale, a decrease in the duration of time on a ventilator, and a decrease in mortality.<\/p>\n<p>The I-SPY COVID Trial is sponsored and managed by Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative.
