REVTx-99 activates a nonspecific immune response (innate) which differentiates it from most current treatments focused on a specific immune response (adaptive) potentially allowing for broader use in most infectious viruses. The viral challenge study is the next necessary step in clinical development of REVTx-99 for the treatment of respiratory viral infections. Future development plans include clinical studies in SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, along with other respiratory viruses.
“We are grateful to the individuals volunteering to participate in this and other clinical trials, as they are essential in the development of new treatment options to help prevent and treat respiratory viral infections,” said
The Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted in

About REVTx-99
REVTx-99 is a proprietary intranasal formulation in development for the prevention or treatment of respiratory viral infection and is broadly applicable to most infectious viruses including influenza A, influenza B, parainfluenza, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), SARS-CoV-2, and its variants. The active ingredient in REVTx-99 stimulates the nasal (mucosal) innate immune system via interaction with toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) to produce protective cytokines including interferons and interferon-related proteins. These protective cytokines work in concert to blunt the ability of an invading virus to proliferate and survive. Phase 1 data showed REVTx-99 to be well-tolerated and to significantly increase intranasal protective cytokines. In addition, REVTx-99 has been assessed for prophylactic anti-viral activity in vitro against
In addition to viral infection, REVTx-99 is also being developed for management of allergic rhinitis symptoms and chronic nasal congestion without polyps. REVTx-99 upregulates a protein which competes for the native eotaxin receptor, CCR3, preventing eotaxin from recruiting eosinophils, thereby reducing recruitment of Th2 cells, and attenuating the allergic response.
