SHELTON, CT / ACCESSWIRE / July 1, 2024 / NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American:NNVC) (the "Company"), a clinical-stage global leader in broad-spectrum antiviral nanomedicines, elaborates on its current assets and plans towards becoming a successful pharmaceutical company intending to revolutionize the treatment of viral infections. NV-387, our lead broad-spectrum antiviral drug candidate has completed Phase I clinical trial in healthy subjects with no drop-outs and no reported adverse events, indicative of excellent safety and tolerability in humans. This single drug, NV-387, has been found to be highly active against a number of different types of viruses. In fact, its activity has, in animal models: Resulted in curing lethal lung RSV infection; Substantially bested the activities of approved drugs (Tamiflu, Xofluza, Rapivab) for Influenza; Substantially bested the activity of Remdesivir against lethal coronavirus infection; and Matched the activity of TPOXX against poxvirus. We believe that this ultra-broad-spectrum antiviral activity of NV-387 became possible because NV-387 is designed to mimic an invariant host feature that over 90% human pathogenic viruses employ for attachment and infection. A single antiviral drug that can effectively treat almost any respiratory viral infection would be a revolutionary development in the treatment of viral diseases, reminiscent of the revolution caused by penicillin in the treatment of bacterial infections, we believe. We are rapidly moving towards Phase II studies to establish effectiveness against a viral disease in humans. We plan on Phase II studies for RSV, with the goal of developing a therapeutic for the treatment of pediatric patients, which is the greatest unmet need in RSV infection. The market sizes for the viral diseases that NV-387 has already been found to be a viable clinical drug candidate as above are substantial. The market size for RSV is estimated at $2.6 Billion in 2024, growing to $4.3 Billion in three years, at a rate of 18.9% as reported by GrowthPlusReports1. The market size for Influenza and Bird Flu is estimated at $4.6 Billion in 2024, growing to an estimated $5.9 Billion in three years, at a rate of 8.5% as reported by DelveInSight2. In case a pandemic occurs, reality may outrun such projections by magnitudes, as was seen with the COVID pandemic. The market size for COVID, as it has become an endemic disease by now, can be expected to be similar to the market size for Influenza while new COVID drugs are being developed, since COVID continues to cause at least twice as large a fatality rate as Influenza in the USA alone. Thus we estimate an overall market size of around $16 Billion in three years for these three viruses, that NV-387 is expected to tackle. Thus NV-387 alone is poised to propel NanoViricides towards great success in a near-term horizon. We plan to license or co-develop our various drug candidates against multiple viral diseases to other Pharma Companies. In addition, we plan on seeking non-dilutive funding for the development of drugs that are of interest for biodefense. We have already demonstrated the ability to manufacture our own drug candidates at several Kilograms scales in cGMP-compliant processes for clinical trials. Our campus comprises a multi-Kg scale cGMP-compliant manufacturing facility with Class 100 clean rooms. We have demonstrated capabilities for manufacture of the drug substance, and thereafter formulate, fill-finish-and-package the drug products for clinical trials in this facility. We believe that our existing manufacturing facility would be adequate for market entry of NV-387 for the pediatric patients segment when the drug is approved by the FDA. We also have a drug in development against herpesviruses, NV-HHV-1, formulated as a skin cream, that we plan on advancing through clinical trials for regulatory approval as a topical treatment of Shingles/Chickenpox skin rashes, HSV-1 "cold sores", as well as HSV-2 "genital ulcers". NV-HHV-1 had completed IND-enabling studies by October 2019 just before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, whereupon we took up the challenge of developing a highly effective drug to treat all coronavirus infections. We have an oral formulation of NV-HHV-1 in development for systemic use to treat herpesvirus infections. Our unique, host-mimetic, directly virus-attacking, technology platform has enabled the development of a number of drug candidates against several viral diseases. We believe these developments will continue to provide additional drug candidates to feed our pipeline for several years to come. Thus, we believe that we are on the verge of substantial success and expansive growth in the near future: having successfully completed Phase I of our first drug candidate, having amassed substantial data demonstrating superior antiviral activity of our drug candidates in animal models, and now being poised to enter into Phase II human clinical trials. About NanoViricides NanoViricides, Inc. (the "Company") ( ) is a development stage company that is creating special purpose nanomaterials for antiviral therapy. The Company's novel nanoviricide® class of drug candidates are designed to specifically attack enveloped virus particles and to dismantle them. Additionally, nanoviricides mimick the host-side features that the viruses continue to require in spite of mutations, and therefore the viruses would be highly unlikely to escape the nanvoricide drugs. Our lead drug candidate is NV-387 (drug product NV-CoV-2) for the treatment of RSV, COVID-19, Long COVID, Influenza, Bird Flu H5N1, and other respiratory viral infections. NV-387 has successfully completed a Phase 1a/1b human clinical trial in healthy subjects with no reported adverse events even at the highest and repeated dosages. This trial was conducted by the drug sponsor, Karveer Meditech Pvt. Ltd., our licensee and collaborator in India. The Company is currently focused on advancing NV-387 into Phase II human clinical trials for treatment of RSV infection. Our other advanced candidate is NV-HHV-1 for the treatment of Shingles rash, HSV-1 "cold sores" and HSV-2 "genital ulcers". The Company cannot project an exact date for filing an IND for any of its drugs because of dependence on a number of external collaborators and consultants. The Company is also developing drugs against a number of viral diseases including oral and genital Herpes, viral diseases of the eye including EKC and herpes keratitis, H1N1 swine flu, H5N1 bird flu, seasonal Influenza, HIV, Hepatitis C, Rabies, Dengue fever, and Ebola virus, among others. NanoViricides' platform technology and programs are based on the TheraCour® nanomedicine technology of TheraCour, which TheraCour licenses from AllExcel.

The Company intends to obtain a license for poxviruses and/or enteroviruses if the initial research is successful. The Company's technology is based on broad, exclusive, sub-licensable, field licenses to drugs developed in these areas from TheraCour Pharma, Inc. The Company's business model is based on licensing technology from TheraCour Pharma Inc. for specific application verticals of specific viruses, as established at its foundation in 2005. As is customary, the Company must state the risk factor that the path to typical drug development of any pharmaceutical product is extremely lengthy and requires substantial capital. As with any drug development efforts by any company, there can be no assurance at this time that any of the Company's pharmaceutical candidates would show sufficient effectiveness and safety for human clinical development. Further, there can be no assurance at this time that successful results against coronavirus in our lab will lead to successful clinical trials or a successful pharmaceutical product.

A First-In-Class, Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Agent Intending To Revolutionize Treatment of Viral Infections Including RSV, COVID, Influenzas and More SHELTON, CT / ACCESSWIRE / June 4, 2024 / NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE Amer.:NNVC) (the "Company"), a clinical-stage global leader in broad-spectrum antiviral nanomedicines, reports on the highly desirable blood concentration pro its lead clinical stage broad-spectrum antiviral agent NV-387 upon intravenous (I.V.) administration in a non-human primate (NHP) animal model. The Company has found that its lead nanoviricide broad-spectrum antiviral drug candidate NV-387, when given as a slow bolus intravenous infusion, resulted in a relatively flat plateau of blood concentration of the drug with very slow decline over a 24 hour period in a cynomolgus monkey model. The maximum concentration as well as the plateau concentration increased in a dose-dependent manner, as expected. This sustained drug level in the blood stream for a relatively long period of time enables infrequent dosing. It is the result of the unique polymeric design of NV-387. NV-387 is a "chemical nanomachine". It is made up of polymer with its size chosen to minimize loss by renal filtration. The observed pharmacokinetic pro NV-387 supports a once-daily or less frequent dosing regimen. The Company has already developed an injectable formulation of NV-387, namely NV-387 Solution for Injection, Infusion, and Inhalation. An injection of NV-387 would be useful for moderate to severe illness, especially because of the sustained blood pro requires infrequent dosing. An infusion would be suitable for severely ill hospitalized patients. Importantly, this NV-387 Solution can be readily delivered directly into the lungs of a patient using a simple handheld nebulizer over a period of a few minutes. Such delivery can enable direct attack on the virus where such attack is most needed in the cases of severe lung infection. The utility of NV-387 is extremely broad, reminiscent of the utility of antibiotics. We have found that NV-387 could cure lethal lung infection in RSV infected animals even with an oral dose. There is no approved drug for RSV treatment other than the toxic, last resort drug ribavirin, which was not very effective in this lethal study compared to NV-387. We have also found that NV-387 IV administration as well as PO (Oral) administration was substantially superior to each of the approved drugs Tamiflu, Rapivab and Xofluza in an Influenza A/H3N2 lethal lung infection model. We believe that NV-387 is expected to possess similar strong antiviral activity against Influenza A/H5N1 "Bird Flu" viruses as well. Our belief is based on the putative mechanism of NV-387. NV-387 is a host-mimetic, direct acting antiviral designed as decoy, to look like a cell decorated with sulfated proteoglycans, to which over 90% of human pathogenic viruses including H5N1 are known to bind. We have found that NV-387 has strong antiviral activity against all tested coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirions. NV-387 was substantially more effective than remdesivir in a lethal coronavirus infection animal study. We believe that NV-387 has a strong potential for the treatment of COVID as well as "Long COVID". COVID continues to cause substantially more fatalities annually than Influenza viruses. Long COVID has substantial personal as well as societal costs. Available drug, Paxlovid (Pfizer) has significant limitations for patient suitability. Thus a new drug against COVID and Long COVID is sorely needed. About NanoViricides NanoViricides, Inc.

Novel Host-Mimetic, Virus Killing Technology Platform SHELTON, CT / ACCESSWIRE / May 29, 2024 / NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American:NNVC) (the "Company"), a clinical-stage global leader in broad-spectrum antiviral nanomedicines, elaborates on its development of a first-in-class, broad-spectrum antiviral agent that could revolutionize treatment of viral infections including RSV, COVID, Influenzas and other viruses. "Resistance is Futile" - Host-Mimetic Technology To Solve the Greatest Pain for Antiviral Medicines, i.e. Virus Escape No matter how much a virus changes in the field, it uses the same "landing sites" in the host body to gain access to cells, attach to and then fuse into the cells, causing an infection. A drug using the same landing sites and acting as a "decoy" would remain effective against the virus even as the virus changes, because the host side does not change. NV-387 is designed to employ such advanced "host-mimetic" technology, built into the nanoviricide™ nanomedicine that is further designed to "look like a cell" to the virus. In contrast, vaccines, antibodies and small chemical drugs all lose their effectiveness as the virus changes in the field. The virus is constantly changing due to various natural mechanisms such as mutations, recombinations, and/or re-assortments that are native to the virus lifecycle. Extremely Broad Antiviral Spectrum of NV-387 Resulted Because Many Diverse Viruses Use Common Host-Side Landing Sites Over 90% of human pathogenic viruses are known to use one or more "landing sites" that are in the Sulfated Proteoglycans ("SPG") family. A successful host-mimetic nanoviricide drug using SPG as the key feature to attract viruses could theoretically be able to attack most if not all such viruses. NV-387 is designed to mimic SPG and attack the virus as a cell-mimicking decoy. We have accumulated substantial evidence that in lethal viral infection animal studies, NV-387 demonstrated strong antiviral activity against a range of different virus families, exceeding or matching the activity of known approved drug agents. NV-387 was substantially superior to remdesivir in coronavirus infections, using a model for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID) virus, as reported earlier. We believe that NV-387 continues to be one of the most active antiviral drugs against multiple coronaviruses, and that it is a viable clinical candidate for drug development to treat COVID, Long COVID, as well as potentially MERS, SARS, and seasonal coronavirus infections. NV-387 was substantially superior to the three approved drugs, namely Tamiflu®, Rapivab® , and Xofluza® against an Influenza H3N2 lethal lung viral infection study, as previously reported. We believe that NV-387 is expected to possess strong antiviral activity against H5N1 "Bird Flu" as well, given that H5N1 viruses are known to bind to heparan sulfate proteoglycans, and based on the observed broad-spectrum activity of NV-387. NV-387 was at least as good as TPOXX® in a model animal study for the development of Smallpox/Mpox drugs, in two different ways of acquiring infection, as reported earlier. Further, we found that NV-387 is capable of completely curing a lethal RSV lung virus infection in animals, leading to indefinite survival of the animals, as reported recently. There is no cure for RSV, and no approved drug for treatment of RSV infection other than the toxic last-resort drug ribavirin. Moreover, even novel viruses, whether from natural sources or bio-engineered, are expected to be susceptible to NV-387 if they employ SPG for gaining access to human cells to infect and cause disease. Thus, NV-387 could be highly valuable for preparedness against novel viral epidemics and pandemics. NV-387 could thus be a single drug to treat all of the "tripledemic" viruses, and more, when so approved. Safety of NV-387 Studied Successfully in Phase I Human Clinical Trials with No Adverse Events NV-387 is inherently designed to be safe, by careful choice of the components of the nanoviricide polymeric chemical, and this was borne out in our studies. Leading to the human clinical trials, we had found that the safety of NV-387 was demonstrated by the very large NOAEL value of 1,200mg/Kg and MTD value of 1,500mg/Kg in rats. We had also found that NV-387 was non-mutagenic, non-genotoxic, non-immunogenic, and studies indicated that allergenicity was not an issue; all parameters that indicate excellent safety. A Phase I clinical trial of NV-387 Oral Syrup and NV-387 Oral Gummies was completed successfully with no adverse events reported. We are awaiting reports from the CRO to further elaborate on the findings. "An antiviral agent with an extra-ordinarily broad spectrum of antiviral activity, coupled with strong safety, is a ‘holy grail' of antiviral medicines," said Anil R. Diwan, Ph.D., President and Executive Chairman of the Company, adding, "Our host-mimetic, direct-acting, nanoviricide™ platform technology capable of destroying virus particles has made this possible, we believe. NV-387 is now ready for Phase II studies towards the goal of regulatory approvals worldwide." He further commented, "If and when approved, NV-387 could be as revolutionary an antiviral agent as penicillin was as an anti-bacterial agent." About NanoViricides NanoViricides, Inc.
