Laboratory experiments have shown niclosamide stops SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) from replicating, making it a promising candidate for reducing the spread of COVID-19. Niclosamide was previously approved by the FDA as a treatment for tapeworm and although not currently marketed in the U.S., it is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines and has been used for decades to safely treat millions of people around the world.
“We have selected Quotient Sciences as our development and manufacturing partner and our plan is simple,” said Andrew Bartynski , COO, ANA Therapeutics. “Niclosamide has the potential to be an effective antiviral agent to combat COVID-19, and our top goal is to complete a clinical trial to determine its efficacy in treating patients with COVID-19. Quotient’s speed and agility will play a key role in reaching that important milestone.”
Mark Egerton, Ph.D. , CEO of Quotient Sciences, said, “We are proud to partner with ANA Therapeutics in their pursuit of a treatment to fight this coronavirus pandemic. Our experience and flexible manufacturing approaches will enable ANA Therapeutics to initiate clinical testing in an accelerated timeframe.”
Under the scope of the agreement, ANA Therapeutics will access Quotient’s formulation and manufacturing expertise to develop and rapidly supply drug product for pivotal clinical trials in Q3 2020. The program will be conducted at Quotient’s facility in Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania.
