Veru Inc. (NASDAQ: VERU) has received FDA approval to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial for VERU-111, an oral microtubule depolymerization agent, targeting COVID-19 treatment. This trial will assess its efficacy in hospitalized patients at high risk for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The trial will involve 40 subjects, comparing VERU-111 to a placebo over 21 days. Following its promising Phase 1b results in prostate cancer, this dual-action agent aims to combat both the virus and inflammatory responses associated with COVID-19.
Veru Inc. announced promising results from the Phase 1b segment of the VERU-111 clinical trial for treating men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Notably, 75% of patients showed PSA declines, and the median duration of response was 10 months. The company plans to collaborate with the FDA next quarter to design a Phase 3 trial, aiming to position VERU-111 as a front-line treatment before chemotherapy.
