Thursday, February 24, 2022

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TFF Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: TFFP), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative drug products based on its patented Thin Film Freezing (TFF) technology platform, today announced that results from its recently completed in vitro neutralization and viral replication assays indicate that the Company’s inhaled niclosamide product candidate completely inhibits viral replication of both the Delta and Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2.

Key Points: 
  • Compared to data from previously published studies, the results demonstrate that inhaled niclosamide appears to be the most potent inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 replication, including the Omicron variant.
  • More specifically, nirmatrelvir and molnupiravir each showed complete inhibition of the Omicron variant at 2.5M.1 In the studies announced today by TFF Pharmaceuticals, inhaled niclosamide demonstrated complete inhibition of Omicron at only 1M.
  • In a Phase 1 study, TFF Pharmaceuticals has already demonstrated that a 6 mg BID dosing of inhaled niclosamide is well tolerated.
  • The data demonstrating that niclosamide inhibits viral replication of the Omicron variant is proof of concept for the activity of the drug against SARS-CoV-2, said Dr. Michael Saag, Professor of Medicine at UAB School of Medicine and Member of the TFF Pharmaceuticals Scientific Advisory Board.Niclosamides mechanism of action, which inhibits human pathways involved in viral replication, restricts development of mutations in the viral genome.
