Project description
New intranasal drugs against SARS-CoV-2
The extent of the current COVID-19 pandemic demands concerted efforts towards effective diagnostics, therapies and vaccines. In this direction, the EU-funded Fight-nCoV project will accelerate the preclinical development of new broad-spectrum antivirals administered via inhalation. The work builds on ongoing research on drugs that block viral entry and will test their safety and activity against SARS-CoV-2 in a macaque model of the disease. The efficacy information on these intranasal inhibitors in non-human primates will lay the foundation for the next step in the development pipeline of these drugs for human use.
