Researchers from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais have published details on the discovery of novel anti-SARS-CoV-2 compounds with robust antiviral activity.
The COVID-19 virus may keep mutating, but new findings from Korean researchers at the Institute of Basic Science (IBS) offer a silver lining: human immunity is adapting, too.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have identified a proteomic signature that could recognize long COVID six months after acute infection. Biologically, the signature indicated that the complement system remained active in patients with long COVID six months after infection. Translationally, it could lead to a diagnostic test for long COVID, and suggests that targeting the complement system could be a therapeutic approach to prevent or treat the disorder.
Exevir Bio BV has released new data demonstrating that its antibodies are highly potent in neutralizing currently circulating COVID-19 omicron variants.
Trawsfynydd Therapeutics Inc. has identified 3C-like proteinase (3CLpro; Mpro; nsp5) (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19).
Clinical updates, including trial initiations, enrollment status and data readouts and publications: Applied, Asklepios, Boston, Curevac, Deciphera, Delta-Fly, Kiromic, Merck, Newron, Orion, Rivus, Verrica.
An FDA culture that discourages scientific disagreement with U.S. administration policies may be a perennial problem regardless of the party in power. That’s one of the between-the-lines takeaways from a Jan. 3 letter the Republican leadership of the House Energy and Commerce Committee sent to FDA Commissioner Robert Califf – along with a stern warning that the agency had better respond in a timely manner.
Regulatory snapshots, including global drug submissions and approvals, clinical trial approvals and other regulatory decisions and designations: Applied Therapeutics, Arch, Bridgebio, Inovio, Intensity, Invivyd, Melt, Obi.
University of Alberta has divulged 3C-like proteinase (3CLpro; Mpro; nsp5) (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19 virus) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of viral infections.
Six months out from the World Health Organization ending the global health emergency brought on by the pandemic, there’s no need for the World Trade Organization to expand a five-year intellectual property (IP) waiver for vaccines to COVID-19-related drugs, devices and diagnostics.
