Abstract

University of Dundee and Evgen Pharma PLC, with funding from LifeArc, are set to commence clinical trial testing of an investigational medicinal product in 300 hospitalised COVID-19 patients. Researchers have identified that one of Evgen's existing products, SFX-01, could reduce the impact of COVID-19 disease by preventing Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a common and often deadly symptom of severe cases of COVID-19.
