Vancouver, British Columbia –
TheNewswire - October 16, 2020 - Naturally Splendid
Enterprises Ltd. ("Naturally
Splendid", "NSE" or "the Company")
(FRANKFURT:50N) (TSXV:NSP) (OTC:NSPDF) has responded through their
joint venture Plasm Pharmaceutical (“Plasm”) to Health Canada’s
Information Request Notice (“IRN”).
The questions as posed by Health Canada are considered a formality as
Plasm Pharmaceutical, continues to prepare for a phase 2 clinical
trial for a potential Covid-19 treatment utilizing the target drug
CavaltinibTM.
Biologic founder and Plasm Pharmaceutical lead researcher
Franco Cavaleri states, “This
COVID crisis is not going to end anytime soon. Although a vaccine will
be the ultimate solution to the pandemic, we need alternative more
immediate treatment strategies to reduce the degree of morbidity and
risk of mortality for those who are vulnerable today. In this regard
we have been in dialogue with Health Canada to develop a final
functional mutually acceptable phase 2 clinical trial for a COVID
treatment, utilizing our CavaltinibTM technology as the test drug. On October
2, 2020, we responded to the latest Information Request Notice (IRN)
from Health Canada. The IRN was designed to determine the final dosage
of CavaltinibTM
intended for use as a COVID treatment and to define the final criteria
for the selection of patients making up the test and control groups
for the trial. We have complied the last requests made by Health
Canada with regards to the experimental protocol and look forward to a
final reply from Health Canada on these matters.“
In earlier news releases the Company has confirmed that it has secured
laboratory space, adequate supplies of CavaltinibTM to conduct the
30 day phase 2 clinical trial, as well as secured significant
manufacturing capacity in both Canada and the United States in
anticipation of a positive outcome of the phase 2 clinical trial.
Previously, Naturally Splendid announced that Health Canada had issued a No Objection Letter for CavaltinibTM, the target drug, in response to the Clinical Trial Application as prepared by Biologic. The Company awaits further direction from Health Canada.
We caution that this news release is not making any express or implied claims that we have the ability to eliminate the COVID-19 virus at this time. The scientific content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Biologic.
Plasm Pharmaceutical Joint Venture Overview
Plasm Pharmaceutical has been granted certain license rights from Biologic patents as it relates to applications for treating COVID-19 infections. The categories to be licensed will include, but are not be limited to, COVID-19 applications as well as additional respiratory indications that may arise out of the fast-tracked clinical trial.
Naturally Splendid will own 16% of the joint venture as well as be granted a 10% royalty on gross sales of all products and applications arising from the clinical study. Biologic will own 82% of the joint venture with 2% assigned to key personnel within Biologic at their discretion. CavaltinibTM is an amplified variant of a current Biologic patented technology, that taken in capsule form, would greatly reduce or eliminate the need for virus infected patients to congregate in hospitals or clinics for infusions or other complex treatments. The resulting benefit of this type of capsule delivery mechanism, would make distribution of the treatment far more effective, at a fraction of the cost of treatment requiring hospitalization, which in turn could provide an extra layer of safety for front line medical staff.
