Traws Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRAW) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company whose news flow centers on the development of investigational oral antivirals for major respiratory viral threats. Company announcements frequently highlight progress in its COVID-19 and influenza programs, including clinical trial milestones, interim data readouts, regulatory interactions and partnering activities.
A key focus of Traws’ news coverage is ratutrelvir, an investigational oral Mpro (3CL protease) inhibitor designed to treat SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 without ritonavir. Recent press releases describe Phase 2 studies that compare ratutrelvir with PAXLOVID in patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 and evaluate its use in PAXLOVID-ineligible patients who face drug–drug interaction concerns with ritonavir-boosted regimens. Interim analyses reported by the company discuss patient-reported symptom outcomes, safety, tolerability and the presence or absence of viral or symptom rebound, as well as potential implications for Long COVID.
News items also cover tivoxavir marboxil (TXM), an investigational single-dose CAP-dependent endonuclease inhibitor for bird flu and seasonal influenza. Traws’ updates describe Phase 1 findings, preclinical results in multiple animal models using H5N1 virus, and interactions with agencies such as BARDA regarding potential inclusion of TXM in antiviral stockpiling initiatives for pandemic preparedness.

Traws Pharma (NASDAQ: TRAW) completed enrollment of a 90-patient Phase 2 open-label study of ratutrelvir versus PAXLOVID® and a single-arm cohort of PAXLOVID®-ineligible patients. Ongoing analyses report fewer adverse events, no viral rebounds to date, and faster time to sustained symptom resolution with ratutrelvir. Traws also advanced tivoxavir marboxil as a once-monthly oral influenza prophylactic; a compressed tablet is predicted to provide 28-day protection and a human challenge study is scheduled for June 2026.
