Insights
Traws reports $2.7M revenue, $0.9M loss in Q2, pivots to COVID antiviral ratutrelvir with Phase 2 trials planned.
Traws Pharma's Q2 results reveal a strategic pivot toward respiratory antiviral programs, prioritizing ratutrelvir (COVID) over TXM (influenza). The company reported
Cash position stands at
The company's ratutrelvir program targets a clear market opportunity, citing Pfizer's PAXLOVID® sales of
Most significantly, Traws has submitted a Phase 2 study to Human Research Ethics Committee comparing ratutrelvir to PAXLOVID® in newly diagnosed COVID patients, with results expected by year-end 2025. They're also planning a single-arm study in PAXLOVID®-ineligible patients. For their influenza candidate TXM, they've deprioritized immediate clinical trials due to low current H5N1 incidence, instead focusing on stockpiling opportunities through BARDA discussions.
The strategic shift to focus on ratutrelvir represents a more concentrated approach to their pipeline, likely necessitated by their limited cash resources, but aligned with market opportunities in COVID treatment.
Traws' ratutrelvir shows promising Phase 1 data as ritonavir-free COVID treatment; Phase 2 initiation imminent.
Traws is advancing ratutrelvir as a potential breakthrough in COVID-19 treatment through a differentiated clinical profile that addresses key limitations of existing therapies. The compound's primary advantage stems from being a ritonavir-independent protease inhibitor, eliminating the problematic drug-drug interactions that make PAXLOVID® contraindicated for many vulnerable patients, particularly the elderly and immunocompromised.
The Phase 1 data presented reveals ratutrelvir maintained plasma concentrations four times above the EC90 throughout a 10-day treatment period with no evidence of drug-induced metabolism changes. Importantly, investigators reported no treatment-related adverse events, suggesting a potentially superior safety profile. The pharmacokinetic profile supports once-daily dosing as a single tablet over 10 days, which could enhance patient compliance while potentially reducing viral rebound rates.
Traws has designed their Phase 2 program with two critical components: a non-inferiority study comparing ratutrelvir to PAXLOVID® in standard COVID patients, plus a separate single-arm evaluation in PAXLOVID®-ineligible patients. This dual approach is strategically sound, addressing both the mainstream market and an underserved population with limited treatment options. The inclusion of endpoints assessing viral rebound and Long COVID development demonstrates forward-thinking trial design that aligns with evolving understanding of COVID-19's long-term impacts.
For their TXM influenza program, the preclinical data package is robust, with demonstrated protection across multiple animal models including non-human primates. The compound maintained plasma levels above EC90 for approximately three weeks after a single dose, suggesting potential as a single-dose treatment. However, the clinical development timeline has been appropriately adjusted to reflect the current epidemiological reality of low H5N1 incidence in humans.
The company's decision to prioritize ratutrelvir while maintaining TXM development for potential stockpiling represents a balanced approach to their antiviral portfolio that maximizes near-term clinical progress while preserving pandemic preparedness capabilities.

Traws to host a Q2 2025 business update call today, August 14th at 8:30 AM ET
NEWTOWN, Pa., Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Traws Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRAW) (“Traws Pharma”, “Traws” or “the Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies to target critical threats to human health from respiratory viral diseases, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and provided recent business highlights for its antiviral programs. Importantly, unlike vaccines, antivirals are both therapeutic, eliminating viral infections, as well as prophylactic, preventing viral infections or spreading of infection to others.
“Traws has made good progress this year towards our goal of bringing our antiviral candidates to patients as soon as possible. We have reprioritized our clinical trial plans to reflect potential short and medium-term shareholder value with the following actions”, said Iain D. Dukes, MA, DPhil, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Traws Pharma:
- “In our COVID program, we have submitted to Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) a Phase 2 study of ratutrelvir, a potential best in class ritonavir-free agent, in newly-diagnosed COVID patients versus PAXLOVID® to evaluate safety and efficacy, as well as rates of disease rebound and incidence of Long COVID development. Separately, we have proposed to evaluate ratutrelvir in a single-arm study in PAXLOVID®-ineligible patients, who represent a significant vulnerable population with few treatment options. Our expectation is to be able to report the results of these Phase 2 studies by year-end 2025. Importantly, in second quarter 2025, Pfizer reported
$427 million in sales for PAXLOVID®, representing a70% increase compared to the same period in the prior year1. - For the influenza program, we will continue our constructive discussions with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) regarding the inclusion of TXM in the drug stockpiling initiative for influenza, including bird flu. We believe that this represents the major short-to- medium-term commercial potential for this program. While H5N1 influenza is widespread in poultry and dairy herds, with several recent human cases in farm workers, it has not progressed to date in the U.S. at rates feared for a near-term potential pandemic.
The current health risk has been determined to be low by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which continues to monitor for bird flu transmission in humans. Accordingly, the immediate likelihood of successfully recruiting a Phase 2 study incorporating bird flu-infected subjects would be low and initiation of this study has been deferred. During a Type D meeting, the FDA reaffirmed its position that clinical trial data, rather than reliance on the Animal Rule, is the registrational path for bird flu therapeutics. Recent approval of our Phase 2 bird flu/seasonal flu phase 2 protocol by Australian and South Korean regulatory authorities will allow us to quickly initiate a clinical study in either the Southern or Northern Hemispheres, respectively, should the incidence rate of bird flu increase.”
“As the end of summer draws near, we are acutely aware that autumn is a time of heightened COVID and influenza awareness and vulnerability for many people across the country, as both viruses continue to mutate and pose critical threats to human health,” said Robert Redfield, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Traws Pharma. “Furthermore, with close to one million COVID and influenza hospitalizations and tens of thousands of deaths reported in the 2024-2025 virus season2,3, we know that COVID and influenza have not “gone away”. We also know from experience that each COVID and influenza hospitalization touches multiple lives and is a source of medical costs, lost time and lost wages for families and caregivers. Current treatments do not provide full antiviral coverage, and in the case of COVID, require accompanying agents that can result in drug-drug interactions, or enable rebound infections and long-term viral syndromes. We believe that Traws’ ritonavir-free COVID and once-daily flu candidates each have the potential to overcome the shortcomings of current treatments and become the new standard of care.”
“COVID is now established as a long-term public health challenge, with an increasing burden of disease for people suffering from post-acute sequelae of COVID, also known as Long COVID4. The current approved antiviral, PAXLOVID®, is frequently contra-indicated in vulnerable populations, including the elderly and immunocompromised individuals, due to ritonavir-based drug-drug interactions5. Ratutrelvir has an emerging profile that could position it for wide adoption, especially in vulnerable individuals, based on its broad activity against a range of resistant strains,” said C. David Pauza, Chief Science Officer of Traws. “In addition, ratutrelvir’s good overall tolerability allows once-daily, single tablet dosing for 10 days, which could reduce the rate of rebound and, consequently, the risk of Long COVID. We intend to progress the development of ratutrelvir in the coming months, starting with a Phase 2 study planned to begin soon in the Southern Hemisphere. Positive results could provide important proof-of-concept data and represent a valuable inflection point for the program.”
Recent Highlights and Anticipated Milestones:
Product Development
Ratutrelvir (COVID)
A ritonavir-independent investigational oral Main protease (Mpro) inhibitor designed to be administered as a single dose, with potential for once-daily, 10-day dosing
- Intended Indication: Treatment of acute COVID infection, with potential to reduce the risk of COVID rebound and Long COVID including in currently PAXLOVID® -ineligible patients
- U.S. Market Opportunity: Estimated to be a multi-billion dollar market opportunity6,7
- Recent Updates:
- Phase 1 studies have shown that ratutrelvir maintained plasma drug levels four times above the EC90 over a 10-day treatment period in healthy volunteers, with no drug-induced metabolism and no treatment-related adverse events. These data, combined with preclinical studies showing potent suppression of resistant virus, suggest that ratutrelvir could represent a novel, best-in-class therapy for acute COVID that could minimize the risk of viral rebound and Long COVID, supporting further development
- Next Steps:
- Phase 2 initiation: Initiate dosing in a Phase 2 non-inferiority study in Australia that will evaluate the effects of ratutrelvir, a potential best in class protease inhibitor that does not require ritonavir administration, compared to PAXLOVID®, in newly diagnosed COVID patients. The study plan also includes a single arm to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ratutrelvir in patients who are ineligible for treatment with PAXLOVID®.
Tivoxavir Marboxil (TXM, Bird flu and seasonal flu)
A single-dose, investigational CAP-dependent endonuclease inhibitor
- Intended Indication: Treatment or prevention of H5N1 bird flu and seasonal flu
- U.S. Market Opportunity: Estimated to be a multi-billion dollar market opportunity, including, in the short- to medium-term, potential stockpiling8,9
- Recent Updates:
- Phase 1 data showed that TXM maintained plasma blood levels above the EC90 for approximately three weeks after a single oral dose, with good overall tolerability; these data support the use of TXM as a single-dose treatment
- TXM has demonstrated compelling protection against mortality and disease in three well accepted flu models (mice, ferrets and non-human primates) that evaluated a single, oral dose of TXM in a virus challenge study using H5N1 virus isolated from a dairy worker. TXM treatment reduced viral burden (all species) and increased survival (mice and ferrets), with improved lung pathology (all species), with good overall safety. These data provide a strong foundation for evaluating TXM in both seasonal flu and H5N1 bird flu
- Next Steps:
- Stockpiling readiness: Advance discussions with BARDA and other regulatory agencies regarding the inclusion of TXM in the drug stock piling initiative for pandemic preparedness, including bird flu. Carefully watch the CDC monitoring system for bird flu transmissions to humans during the upcoming months.

About Ratutrelvir
Ratutrelvir is an investigational oral, small molecule Mpro (3CL protease) inhibitor designed to be a broadly acting treatment for SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 that is used without ritonavir. It has demonstrated in vitro activity against a range of virus strains. Preclinical and Phase 1 studies show that ratutrelvir does not require co-administration with a metabolic inhibitor, such as ritonavir, which could avoid ritonavir-associated drug-drug interactions5, and potentially enable wider patient use. Phase 1 data also show that ratutrelvir’s pharmacokinetic (PK) profile demonstrated maintenance of target blood plasma levels approximately 13 times above the EC50 using the target Phase 2 dosing regimen of 600 mg/day for ten days, which may also reduce the likelihood of clinical rebound and, consequently, reduce the risk for Long COVID4. Industry data indicate that COVID treatment represents a potential multi-billion dollar market opportunity6,7.
About Tivoxavir Marboxil
Tivoxavir marboxil (TXM) is an investigational oral, small molecule CAP-dependent endonuclease inhibitor designed to be administered as a single-dose for the treatment of bird flu and seasonal influenza. It has shown potent in vitro activity against a range of influenza strains in preclinical studies, including a human isolate of the highly pathogenic avian flu H5N1 (bird flu). Consistent, positive preclinical data from three animal species indicate that a single dose of TXM demonstrated a therapeutic effect against H5N1 bird flu. Seasonal influenza represents an estimated multi-billion dollar antiviral market opportunity, largely driven by global health organizations, practice guidelines and government tenders and inclusion in drug stock piling initiatives8,9, with upside potential from potential pandemic flu outbreaks including H5N1 bird flu. We believe that these data support further development of TXM as a treatment for bird flu.
