My take on it was they would not be going down this path unless they were pretty certain it would have a positive result. Pure and simple.

"June" was the issue.But this will not be an issue soon !Huge potential. Massively undervalued now .A great buy.

[vitec] 01/5/2020 08:31

Any media coverage of SNG over the weekend and this will be blue on Monday. I cannot remember if it was the journalist at the Times that last wrote about SNG. She may revisit with a follow up piece after yesterdays news.

[whites123] 01/5/2020 08:23

Now back to where it was pre yesterdays announcement. :-)

You have to laugh, as the importance and detail of what was announced has clearly been missed.

[royalalbert] 01/5/2020 08:21

They will be back.

[vitec] 01/5/2020 08:21

All I will say is I wish it was Thursday!!

Proactive:Callum muirhead end of article on SYNAIRGEN. The expansion of the trial follows news earlier this month that the trial of SNG001 had been classified as an Urgent Public Health study by the National Institute for Health Research.

Remdesivir write up and stresses early intervention may well be the key to getting the best out of any treatment hence our home trial and prophylactic possibility

SNG001 included in this article from the Daily Mail. Probably previously posted but worth reminding.

WHAT ARE THE MOST PROMISING DRUGS BEING TESTED?

SNG001
Laboratory studies have shown IFN-beta can protect cells from infection by a range of respiratory viruses.

These include the MERS and SARS coronavirus strains, leaving scientists expecting IFN-beta to also protect against the COVID-19 strain.

It has already been shown to improve the recovery of asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) patients who have other lung infections, such as flu.

Richard Marsden, CEO of Synairgen, said: 'SNG001 has been well tolerated in clinical trials in over 200 respiratory patients to date and has accelerated lung function recovery in two Phase II asthma trials in patients with a cold or flu infection.

What do the experts think?

Tom Wilkinson told Sky News: 'We are hoping that the drug will increase the rate of recovery from infection, that it will increase the protection in the bit of the lungs that are not infected yet and will reduce the number of patients that decline significantly and require intubation and ventilation.'

Mr Marsden said: 'A successful outcome from this trial [at Southampton] in COVID-19 patients would be a major breakthrough in the fight against this coronavirus pandemic.'

>> afewbob

I would guess probably not. The antibody response is weak in most people infected with Covid 19 which is part of the problem. Plus the whole reason why another strain takes off is because there isn't any immunity against it even in previously infected people.

[141jaffa] 30/4/2020 20:27

I hope a vaccine ( anything actually) is helpful, but I don't see it as in competition with SNG001. Why would they spend time and money on this drug initially, pre CV. There is a flu vaccine each year, but still very high numbers of LRTI ( esp elderly/ COPD / asthma etc ). This was originally designed to be used with viral vaccinations in a population.

[a.fewbob] 30/4/2020 20:26

Just out of interest does anyone know if having had one of the covid19 strains makes you immune to all of them or at least helps you fight off the other strains should get one.

Just asking since I’ve had the virus and want to know where I stand with the little f@cker!

[nobbygnome] 30/4/2020 20:21

That is true, which is why I said should which is a conditional verb.

[l0ngterm] 30/4/2020 20:19

But it's not proven yet

[nobbygnome] 30/4/2020 20:10

SNG001 should be able to be used for any serious viral respiratory infection such as flu so a vaccine is not a long term danger to SNG.

[dealer55] 30/4/2020 20:07

All the vaccine talk is hope and to keep spirits up. You can’t rush it and 33 strains 3 defo deadly isn’t a 5 minute job. All imo.
