First Human Clinical Trials Of A Potentially “Game-Changing Broad Spectrum Antiviral” Are Progressing Successfully – Drug Could Treat COVID, RSV And Many Other Respiratory Viruses

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga As COVID cases begin to rise again, heralding the beginning of another COVID wave, new variants have appeared leading this wave. EG.5 (“Eris”) is currently in the majority in the U.S.A, but a very different variant, BA.2.86 (“Pirola”) is already rising in the number of cases. BA.2.86 carries more than 30 changes in its spike protein, as well as changes in other proteins. Scientists believe it is questionable whether the newest booster vaccine shots would be effective for this one. The newest vaccines are “single-agent” targeting the XBB variant. It is not known how effective the approved drugs (mainly Paxlovid - Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE)) would be against this new variant, and further on, as the virus keeps changing. It is now clear that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is here to stay, and that it will keep changing as it continues to learn to avoid vaccines and antibodies and our own immune systems and continues to learn to resist existing old-fashioned drugs. Even without new variants, for clinically vulnerable patients COVID has always continued to be a terrifying reality. In light of this, the broad-spectrum antiviral that is based on a novel nanomedicines platform being developed by one emerging drug company could be promising. NanoViricides, Inc (NYSE American: NNVC ) announced that it has made progress on its Phase 1a/1b clinical trial of NV-CoV-2, a novel antiviral drug candidate that has the potential to treat all strains of the coronavirus. The clinical-stage biotech reported that the safety and tolerability parts of the trial testing the antiviral in healthy subjects is nearly complete and it’s now preparing for the efficacy and dose optimization part of the trial with COVID patients. NanoViricides Broad Spectrum Antiviral Could Change How We Treat Viral Infections So far, NanoViricides has built a robust foundation of promising preclinical research that demonstrates the unique antiviral platform’s potential to treat not just COVID-19 but a wide range of other common and hard-to-treat viral diseases like other coronaviruses, RSV, shingles, herpes, rabies and the flu. The reason it could have such broad applicability is because the NanoViricides platform was specifically designed to target a particular binding site that’s common across many viruses and doesn’t change even as a virus mutates. Essentially, the nanoviricide platform mimics the binding site on a human cell that a virus would normally target in order to infect that cell. Then it seeks out the virus and when the virus binds to the nanoviricide instead, the drug candidate immediately engulfs the virus, where it’s unable to infect the patient’s cells or reproduce. The First Of These Drugs Is Now In Human Phase 1a And 1b Clinical Trials The Phase 1a/1b clinical trial includes single-ascending dose (SAD) and multiple-ascending dose (MAD) safety and tolerability studies in healthy subjects. NanoViricides reported that 26 of the 36 volunteers in the SAD study and 17 of the 36 volunteers in the MAD study have already completed the program. And so far, the early data looks promising. Neither adverse events nor serious adverse events have been found to date in either study. "The excellent safety and tolerability of NV-CoV-2 in both formulations in the clinical trials is consistent with the results of pre-clinical animal studies, giving us confidence that our preclinical animal studies can be expected to be predictive of human clinical trials,” said NanoViricides Executive Chairman and President, Anil R. Diwan, Ph.D. Ongoing Phase 1a And 1b Clinical Trials Will Give First Indication Of Nanoviricides Efficacy In Humans With that baseline of safety and tolerability, the next part of the trial is to enroll COVID patients in the trial and start evaluating whether the positive preclinical effectiveness results for the drug will translate to human trials. Once this trial is finished, NanoViricides plans to seek permission to move into phase 2 clinical trials from multiple regulatory agencies worldwide. Of note, the same drug was found to be effective in pre-clinical studies against another important respiratory virus, RSV. Such a broad spectrum antiviral effectiveness is reminiscent of the development of antibiotics against bacteria. This could be a game-changing development in antiviral therapeutics.

Santillanes and her team is also responsible for Distribution meetings, events, and incentive programs. Bob Yates has been named Vice President, Distribution Business Analytics. In his new role, Yates will focus on partnering with Wealth and Health Distribution leadership and AmeriLife’s affiliates to maximize the value of available data, providing financial and market analysis, interpreting production results, and forecasting and developing business trend insights to support data-driven strategic planning, business development, and decision making. Yates will continue to collaborate with AmeriLife’s Enterprise Data and Analytics (EDA) team to support enterprise level data collection and reporting as well as ad hoc Distribution analysis needs. Lastly, Christy Appleang, CPA, joins the organization as Vice President, Financial Operations, responsible for leading all budgeting processes as well as developing strategic budgetary policies and guidelines to help meet short and long-term financial goals. Appleang brings 20 years of financial planning and analysis experience to AmeriLife Wealth, most recently serving as Senior Director of Finance for national grocer, Kroger, in its Health & Wellness Specialty Pharmacy Retail Division. Prior to Kroger, she served as Chief Financial Officer for Northwestern Mutual’s Southeast region. “We’re incredibly grateful for Andy’s, Kelly’s, Crystal’s and Bob’s continued dedication to our business, and are excited to welcome Christy to our team, as we continue our mission of transforming Wealth distribution for our affiliated agents and advisors,” added Vietri. “The growth of our team is a testament to what we’re building here at AmeriLife, and I look forward to working with each of them in their new roles.” ### About AmeriLife AmeriLife’s strength is its mission: to provide insurance and retirement solutions to help people live longer, healthier lives.

Discern Security lands funding round as it launches world's first AI powered security policy management platform

Discern Security

In an era where global organizations collectively invested over $150 billion in cybersecurity measures last year*, the escalating proliferation of cyberattacks resulting in trillions of dollars in annual damages, underscores the critical need for cybersecurity innovation. Addressing this existential threat, Discern Security, the pioneering AI-driven policy management cybersecurity startup, has emerged from stealth with a $3m seed funding round. The funding round was led by a diverse investor consortium including BoldCap, WestWave Capital, Cyber Mentor Fund, Security Syndicate, along with influential Global Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs). This spread of investors underscores the opportunity Discern Security presents for the cybersecurity community. Established in 2023 by seasoned entrepreneurs Sai Venkataraman, Santhosh Purathepparmbil, and Rohan Puri, Discern Security aspires to reshape the cybersecurity landscape by harnessing the formidable power of AI.

This innovative approach fosters the development of a cohesive cybersecurity mesh architecture, facilitating seamless integration among various security products. Discern Security addresses three pivotal challenges confronting the industry. Firstly, it empowers organizations to maximize the efficacy of their security investments by enhancing the performance of existing products.

Lastly, it tackles the inherent issue of standalone security products by simplifying the complex configuration process, thereby enhancing both security and productivity. Through its Policy Intelligence Hub, Discern Security empowers organizations to visualize and optimize their security configurations, ensuring continuous dynamic policy management throughout their cybersecurity tool arsenal.

Discern Security is poised to extend these solutions to businesses worldwide, actively safeguarding their digital assets against evolving cyber threats. Sathya Nellore Sampat, General Partner at BoldCap, remarked, "Security threats to organizations continually evolve, yet security policies and configurations at most organizations are infrequently updated, often once or twice a year. This leads to increased risk and vulnerability. Discern's AI-powered solution strategically addresses this need and is poised to create a new category and become a market leader in this space. We are delighted to lead their funding round." Warren Weiss, Managing General Partner at WestWave Capital, added, "Discern Security's innovative AI-driven approach to cybersecurity promises to make a significant impact in the industry.
