EXCELYA/XENOTHERA
The biotech company XENOTHERA has begun the European clinical trial of its anti-COVID treatment, XAV-19. The Nantes laboratory is the sponsor of the trial, called EUROXAV, which will be carried out by Excelya , a leading European contract research organization (CRO) specializing in clinical research. EUROXAV is a multi-center, double-blind phase III trial that will recruit 722 patients with moderate COVID, hospitalized or monitored remotely. The trial will take place in Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Spain and Turkey.
The first patient in the trial was recruited on April 28th at Professor Poulakou's center (GR04) in Greece. The cohort of 722 patients will complement the 398 patients in the POLYCOR trial, a trial carried out in 35 French hospitals under the sponsorship of the Nantes University Hospital, which has just closed its recruitment phase with results expected Summer 2021.
"Excelya is very proud to support XENOTHERA in the development of XAV19, which holds great promise in the battle against COVID19. After taking several months to develop the EUROXAV project, the inclusion of this first patient represents an important milestone. We hope to work quickly to make results available and initiate the next steps to benefit patients and caregivers," said Alan Morgan, CEO of Excelya .
“This milestone marks the start of the EUROXAV trial, the results of which are awaited with great interest. The aim of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of XAV-19 in hospitalized and ambulatory patients, which will allow us to analyze the medical value of XAV-19 in clinical situations where there is currently no satisfactory therapeutic solution.” comments Odile Duvaux, co-founder and president of XENOTHERA.
