Targeted T-cell Immunotherapy
A treatment for new COVID-19 patients. Administered by inhaler.
Designed to prevent severe COVID-19 disease and cure COVID ‘long-haulers’.
Vaccination by Inhalation. FLOVID-20 uses inhalational delivery of a preventative and therapeutic immuno-stimulatory biomedicine targeting nucleocapsid epitopes on SARS-CoV-2.
Mutations of COVID-19 are frequent and unpredictable—FLOVID-20 can create a strong line of defense to fight COVID-19 variants where the infections occur, in the lungs, and our approach is validated by independent work at MIT.
Overview
- Under Development, FDA Approval Required.
- In Spring 2020, FLOVID-20 non-human primate studies were performed at the United States National Laboratory, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston
- Treated primates resisted infection. Control primates developed COVID pneumonia.
Current Status
-
PRE-CLINICAL FEASIBILITY
-
MANUFACTURING FOR CLINICAL TESTING
-
PHASE I/II CLINICAL TESTING
How Does Our Therapy Work?
What is COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2?
COVID-19 is the disease caused by Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
