Notably, in in vitro preclinical testing, AUG-3387 effectively neutralizes SARS-CoV2 and has demonstrated activity against all variant strains tested to date, including the major COVID variants of concern, including the previously identified
“The activity of AUG-3387 against all SARS-CoV2 variants tested to date provides strong justification for the continued development of this unique monoclonal antibody therapy, especially when combined with the potential to break the cold chain requirement of other therapies and the cost-effective delivery of lower doses via inhalation, made possible through the TFF process,” stated Dr.
“By combining the novel pan-variant activity of AUG-3387 with the enhanced stability and ease of delivery provided by the TFF technology, we believe this drug could potentially make significant impact on bringing COVID-19 disease under control where vaccines with extreme cold chain requirements are not feasible,” added
