CP-COV03 is a modified version of widely used deworming drug niclosamide in terms of absorption and drug concentration retention in blood.
Hyundai Bioscience received approval for a Phase 1 clinical trial of CP-COV03 to evaluate safety in 18 healthy volunteers in Korea last month.
Steroid-based dexamethasone is a synthetic corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation.
Hyundai Bioscience said that the treatment effect was 2.1 times higher in hamsters infected with Covid-19 after treatment with niclosamide-based CP-COV03 plus dexamethasone than in those with dexamethasone alone.
Antiviral drug remdesivir or anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone are currently used to treat patients with severe Covid-19.
Hyundai Bioscience plans to file for a Phase 2 clinical trial with health authorities upon the completion of the Phase 1, with a goal of completing the Phase 2 in the first half of next year.
