At present, Cyxone is contracting several clinical sites in Poland with arrangements in place to begin patient inclusion rapidly.

In addition, the company has sought regulatory approval in Slovakia and is planning to seek approval in more countries.

Cyxone CEO Tara Heitner said: “We are pleased to soon initiate our Phase II study in which we aim to develop an oral treatment for moderate Covid-19 patients, preventing the progression to acute symptoms avoiding the need of intensive care treatment and relieving the burden on hospitals and healthcare systems.

“Given a successful outcome, Rabeximod could be developed as a candidate drug not only for Covid-19, but for the treatment of other disorders of the immune system including virally induced acute respiratory disorders.”

The company intends to enter a strategic collaboration with a global pharma firm to further advance the development and commercialisation of Rabeximod in Covid-19, as well as other virally induced respiratory diseases.
