InflaRx (IFRX) Stock Up on FDA's EUA for COVID-19 Treatment
Read MoreHide Full Article
InflaRx (IFRX - Free Report) , a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, was up almost 84% on Apr 4, as the FDA granted an emergency use authorization to Gohibic (vilobelimab) to treat hospitalized COVID-19 adults who received invasive mechanical ventilation within 48 hours of treatment initiation.
Per the company, Gohibic is the first authorized drug to control complement factor C5a, a protein that plays an essential yet harmful role in the body's immune response.
The authorization was granted based on results from a phase III PANAMO clinical study evaluating vilobelimab in invasively ventilated COVID-19 patients in intensive care units. The data showed that vilobelimab treatment improved survival with a relative reduction in 28-day all-cause mortality of 23.9% compared to placebo in the global data set.
InflaRx is continuing discussions with the FDA to submit a biologics license application for full approval of Gohibic in this COVID-19 indication. The company is also developing vilobelimab in other indications, including pyoderma gangrenosum, for which it is currently initiating a phase III study.
InflaRx’s shares have gained 113% in the past year against the industry's 15.9% decline.
