Revive Therapeutics (OTCQB: RVVTF) has provided an update on their research study evaluating Bucillamine as a potential treatment for nerve agent exposure. The study, conducted in partnership with Defence R&D Canada – Suffield Research Centre, is now expected to be completed in October 2024. If results are promising, further studies may be initiated to facilitate FDA and Health Canada approvals for Bucillamine's use in nerve agent or organophosphate pesticide poisoning.
The company is also exploring Bucillamine's potential in viral infections, including monkeypox (Mpox). Bucillamine, a cysteine derivative with two thiol groups, has shown to be 16 times more potent as a thiol donor than N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), which has demonstrated efficacy in attenuating symptoms of respiratory viral infections. Revive emphasizes that no claims are being made about Bucillamine's ability to treat or cure Mpox or other infectious diseases at this time.
Revive Therapeutics, a specialty life sciences company, has provided an update on its research study evaluating Bucillamine for nerve agent exposure. This study, in collaboration with Defence R&D Canada – Suffield Research Centre, aims to find pharmacological treatments for nerve agent-induced brain injury. Control studies are underway, with data evaluation expected this month. Treatment studies will follow, and the research is slated to conclude by August 2024. The study compares Bucillamine, a potent antioxidant, to n-acetylcysteine (NAC) in enhancing the efficacy of GABA-mediating drugs like diazepam, potentially improving seizure control and reducing side effects. Promising results could pave the way for FDA and Health Canada approvals and may extend Bucillamine's use to treat traumatic brain injuries.
Revive Therapeutics announced updates on their Type C meeting with the FDA regarding a proposed clinical study of Bucillamine as a treatment for Long COVID. The FDA recommended submitting a new IND application, incorporating data from Revive's previous Phase 3 clinical trial on mild to moderate COVID-19. The FDA provided feedback on study design, population, and measures to assess therapeutic benefits. CEO Michael Frank expressed optimism about advancing Bucillamine's clinical development. The CDC estimates 7.5% of U.S. adults have Long COVID, costing up to $3.7 trillion. Revive aims to finalize their study protocol and submit the IND soon.
Results from a previous Phase 3 trial showed Bucillamine (600mg/day) prevented hospitalizations, while a lower dose (300mg/day) had one hospitalization compared to three in the placebo group. Bucillamine also improved oxygen saturation by 29.1% over placebo. These findings support further investigation of Bucillamine for Long COVID.
On June 10, 2024, Revive Therapeutics announced an update from the FDA regarding their Long COVID Diagnostic Product, the Revive LC POC Lateral Flow Test Kit. The FDA recommended the product follow the De Novo regulatory pathway, necessitating a clinical study for possible approval. CEO Michael Frank confirmed alignment with the FDA's recommendations and plans to discuss development and timelines with potential contract manufacturers. The product, developed under Revive Diagnostics, aims to detect long COVID via blood biomarkers identified by Dr. Douglas Fraser's research, recently published in Molecular Medicine. Currently, no FDA-approved diagnostic exists for long COVID, which affects at least 10% of SARS-CoV-2 infections and involves over 200 symptoms impacting multiple organ systems.
