___________________________
Hello Everyone,
The month of May has been incredible for us as I stated in my last email. 2 of our last 4 profiles jumped triple digits on strong interest while the other two ran double digits in the following sessions as well.
You might remember this one from January when it was sitting around the 1.10 level. Since then it has topped out at 1.55 and still holding strong above our profile price.
If you have been a member for a little while then you should go back and look at this one when we profiled it back last July when it doubled in just a few sessions.
Now that we have established that this one has the potential to move let’s dive into the meat and potatoes of what we want to look at for Fridays session.
Pull up NNVC and urgently get it on your screen.
NNVC looks well-positioned to be a market disruptor with nontoxic, effective antiviral therapies based on patented nanomedicine technology.
NNVC is a global leader in the application of nanomedicine technologies to the safe and effective treatment of viruses and their variants INCLUDING drugs against Covid-19, RSV and other respiratory viruses!
Even with a decline since 2022, COVID-19 continues to hospitalize and kill people in the USA – the CDC website states 69,200 hospitalizations and 2,652 deaths since January 1, 2024; the worldwide market size for COVID-19 therapeutics is expected to exceed $16.2 Billion in 2031.
NANOVIRICIDES are better because they destroy viruses and their variants without relying on the patient’s immune system, thereby making them effective for populations that include geriatric and pediatric patients.
Antibodies only bind by two points to the virus, and destruction of the complex requires effective immune function, which is not the case in sick patients..
Vaccines only train the body into producing antibodies against the virus in the vaccine. Antibodies and vaccines are easily overcome by viruses by mutating in the field, hence the need for annual influenza vaccine updates.
NV-387 – A novel broad-spectrum antiviral
- Since it is a potential cure for RSV infection, and since there is no non-toxic drug for general treatment of RSV infection at present; NV-387 meets an unmet need.
- A therapeutic for treating measles is a completely missing link in the response the the current measles virus outbreak; NV-387 could meet this unmet need too.
- The anti-Influenza activity of NV-387 given orally was substantially superior to all three of the approved anti-influenza drugs (Tamiflu, Rapivab, and Xofluza).
- Bird flu is rampant in poultry in the USA leading to hen culling and soaring egg prices, resulting in a race to find a treatment that works; NV-387 can address it.
- Long COVID also remains a problem for an estimated 17 million adults; an effective antiviral such as NV-387 has already delivered successful Phase 1 results.
- While smallpox is eradicated in the USA, contagious monkeypox has appeared but there is no effective drug treatment for it and competitors clinical trials have failed; NV-387 is entering Phase 2 clinical trials for it.
NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American: NNVC)’s lead drug candidate NV-387 (drug product NV-CoV-2), a drug that treats RSV, COVID-19, Long COVID, Influenza, Bird Flu H5N1, and other respiratory viral infections as well as Monkey-pox, has successfully completed Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy subjects with no reported adverse events, even at the highest and repeated dosages. Remarkably, NNVC has been able to develop NV-387 for oral administration already, as well as for injectable and inhalation formulations to enable many modes of use. The Company is currently focused on advancing NV-387 into Phase II human clinical trials for the treatment of RSV infection.
Susceptible viruses CANNOT escape NV-387, even as they continue to evolve in the field into variants. Why? Because no matter how much the virus changes, it continues to use the same host-side signature to bind to and cause infection in the hosts, and thus the nanoviricide would be anticipated to continue to be effective even as the virus mutates to generate variants.
Thus NV-387 and other antiviral drugs designed on the nanoviricides platform can be expected to have decades of effective usability against the target viruses similar to the life of current antibiotics against bacterial infections but in stark contrast to current antiviral approaches.
A broad-spectrum antiviral drug such as NV-387 would be a highly desirable drug globally because it would enable treatment by physicians of patients as soon as they present symptoms of a viral disease without waiting for a test to identify a specific type of viral infection. This is reminiscent of how antibiotics are prescribed, without specific infectious agent identification, relying on the ultra-broad-spectrum of the drug.
NV-387’s Extremely Broad Antiviral is a Host Mimetic That Acts As a Decoy To Attract And Trap Many Diverse Viruses, Preventing the Virus from Replication and Reinfection of Other Cells
Over 90% of human pathogenic viruses are known to use one or more “landing sites” that are in the Sulfated Proteoglycans (“SPG”) family. A successful host-mimetic nanoviricide drug using SPG as the key feature to attract viruses could theoretically be able to attack most if not all such viruses.
NV-387 is designed to mimic SPG and attack the virus as a cell-mimicking decoy. We have accumulated substantial evidence that in lethal viral infection animal studies, NV-387 demonstrated strong antiviral activity against a range of different virus families, exceeding or matching the activity of known approved drug agents.
Superior to Other Treatments???????????
NV-387 was substantially superior to remdesivir in coronavirus infections, using a model for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID) virus, as reported earlier. We believe that NV-387 continues to be one of the most active antiviral drugs against multiple coronaviruses, and that it is a viable clinical candidate for drug development to treat COVID, Long COVID, as well as potentially MERS, SARS, and seasonal coronavirus infections.
In treating Influenza, NV-387 was substantially superior to the three approved drugs, namely Tamiflu®, Rapivab® , and Xofluza® against an Influenza H3N2 lethal lung viral infection study, as previously reported. We believe that NV-387 is expected to possess strong antiviral activity against H5N1 “Bird Flu” as well, given that H5N1 viruses are known to bind to heparan sulfate proteoglycans, and based on the observed broad-spectrum activity of NV-387.
NNVC has also found that NV-387 is capable of completely curing a lethal RSV lung virus infection in animals, leading to indefinite survival of the animals, as reported recently. There is no cure for RSV, and no approved drug for treatment of RSV infection other than the toxic last-resort drug ribavirin.
Moreover, even novel viruses, whether from natural sources or bio-engineered, are expected to be susceptible to NV-387 if they employ SPG for gaining access to human cells to infect and cause disease. Thus, NV-387 could be highly valuable for preparedness against novel viral epidemics and pandemics.
NV-387 could thus be a single drug to treat all of the “tripledemic” viruses (COVID, RSV, FLU ), and more, when so approved!
Finally, NV-387 was at least as effective as the approved drug tecovitrimat (TPOXX®, SIGA), in a lethal intra-digital infection by ectromelia virus in mice. Importantly, a combined drug made from NV-387 and tecovirimat was more effective than either drug alone, indicating NV-387 “plays well” with tecovirimat and acts by a different mechanism.
- Smallpox poses a significant biodefense threat. Ectromelia virus is a native virus of mice in the poxvirus family and is one of the key animal model viruses for developing smallpox therapeutics. Tecovirimat is an approved drug for treating smallpox infection based on the FDA “Animal Rule”, and is stockpiled by the US “Strategic National Stockpile”. It was mobilized during the recent monkeypox epidemic.
- It is important to develop additional smallpox therapeutics that work well with tecovirimat and by themselves, since viruses pose the threat of drug escape by mutation; further, in a bio-terrorism scenario, a human-engineered smallpox virus resistant to existing drugs could be a potential threat.
Measles Cases Are Increasing Globally; MPox Continues to Be a Threat – Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Drug Could Be the Solution
NanoViricides Explains Its Drug Strategy for Combating Viral Infections and Pandemics
SHELTON, CT / ACCESS Newswire / May 14, 2025 / NanoViricides, Inc., a publicly traded company (NYSE Amer.:NNVC) (the “Company”), and a clinical stage, leading global pioneer in the development of broad-spectrum antivirals based on host-mimetic nanomedicine technology that viruses cannot escape, explains its drug development strategy to combat important global viral threats.
Measles outbreaks have continued to expand in the US, and the dramatic ten-fold increase in annual Measles cases in Europe last year indicates that Measles will be here to stay. Measles vaccine failure cases have also been increasing according to the European data, which is an important cause for concern. Vaccination rates are falling in developed countries.
In this global scenario, NV-387, the clinical stage broad-spectrum, host-mimetic antiviral nanomedicine drug could perhaps be the only currently available drug candidate to combat the Measles virus and disease. There is no approved drug for Measles virus infection.
The Company has already initiated the process for conducting an animal efficacy study that would provide an answer to how effective NV-387 would be against Measles virus.
The Company will make NV-387 available to any licensed physicians intending to treat Measles cases under the Individual Patient Expanded Access protocol of the US FDA. The Company has its own cGMP manufacturing facility.
The Company is pleased to state that it is moving forward with the Phase II Clinical Trial Application (CTA) for the evaluation of NV-387 as treatment of MPox in the Domestic Republic of Congo (DRC). The National Ethics Committee of DRC has recently cleared NV-387 as a potential drug candidate that should advance into the clinical trial, enabling the CTA.
MPox is endemic in DRC, and has continued to cause large numbers of cases in the WHO African Region. In April, 2025, the WHO has restated that MPox continues to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), a designation it first declared for the MPox epidemic in August, 2024.
This PHEIC is driven by MPox Clade 1a and 1b viruses that are highly pathogenic and highly transmissible. A milder version, MPox Clade 2, caused an epidemic in 2022, and since then became endemic, in certain subsets of populations in the Western World. It is thought that MPox Clade 1a/1b viruses could possibly lead to a wider epidemic including the rest of the world beyond Africa.
There is currently no approved drug for the treatment of MPox infection. A drug, tecovirimat, (TPOXX®, SIGA) failed in clinical trials for the treatment of MPox. TPOXX has been approved for Smallpox in the USA under the FDA “Animal Rule” and continues to be stockpiled by the US Strategic National Stockpile. A broad-spectrum antiviral effective against all orthopoxviruses including MPox and Smallpox is needed.
“NV-387 is a revolutionary antiviral drug that can combat many viral infections,” said Anil R. Diwan, PhD, President and Executive Chairman of the Company, “We are advancing it rapidly towards establishing human clinical effectiveness data and regulatory approvals. We believe our MPox and Measles work will enable rapid advancement of the drug, and make a great global impact in large markets fulfilling unmet medical needs.”
The Company is also developing NV-387 as an “emperic” treatment of respiratory viral infections. We are developing a clinical protocol for a “basket-type” clinical trial, i.e. evaluating a single drug, namely, NV-387, against many viruses within a single clinical trial.
The focus of this proposed clinical trial will be on All Influenzas, All Coronaviruses, and RSV. If successful, this study would enable NV-387 to be prescribed immediately when a patient presents to the physician with a respiratory infection suspected to be viral, without waiting for test results to determine which viral infection it is.
Additionally, the Company is developing a pan-herpesvirus drug, NV-HHV-1. Herpesvirus infections from HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV, EBV, as well as HHV-6 have been linked to neurological damage that can eventually lead to Alzheimer’s disease. An effective drug that can eradicate herpesviruses is an unmet medical need. Such a drug can make a major impact on chronic diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
To date, only effective drugs have brought or maintained endemic or circulating viruses under control. There are no vaccines for herpes viruses, HIV or hepatitis C virus. Yet, successful drugs have helped patients to be cured (HCV), or recover from episodes (HSV), or at least maintain healthy lifespan (HIV) without any vaccines.
Market sizes for effective antiviral drugs run into several billions of dollars for each indication. Also, market sizes expand rapidly once an effective drug is introduced.
“NanoViricides is poised to revolutionize how we treat viral infections, just as antibiotics revolutionized treatment of bacterial infections,” said Dr. Diwan, adding, “We continue to march forward and strive hard to make this bright future a reality and to make a meaningful impact on public health, chronic diseases, and individual patients.”
Measles confirmed cases in the US have surpassed 1,000 already as of May 8th, 2025, across 31 jurisdictions, according to CDC report (https://www.cdc.gov/measles/data-research/index.html) .
Measles cases in Europe were over 35,000 in 2024, an almost ten-fold increase from 2023, according to the annual report of European Center for Disease Prevention and Control(ECDC). Only approximately 87% of cases were in unvaccinated persons, and 13% of the cases were of vaccine failure, out of the cases with known vaccination status.
The significant Measles vaccine failure rate observed in Europe is alarming, considering that the two-dose vaccine is supposed to be 97% effective. Overall, childhood vaccination was about 94% and declining. This rate is below the 95% considered the threshold for achieving “herd” or community immunity.
Given the various causes of vaccine failure, and of vaccine hesitancy, attaining 95% vaccine coverage cannot be considered a very probable solution to combating the Measles epidemic. An effective drug is needed to combat the epidemic.
NanoViricides Drug Can Fight Bird Flu Pandemic; H5N1 Virus Cannot Escape
SHELTON, CT / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2025 / NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American:NNVC) (the “Company”) declared today that it is ready to fight the bird flu with its revolutionary broad-spectrum antiviral drug NV-387, a drug that the Bird Flu virus H5N1 likely cannot escape despite its ability to mutate rapidly with genomic changes.
An “opinion and analysis” article published in Scientific American on February 7th correctly recognizes that the H5N1 “virus is versatile…and mutating”, although it rapidly devolves into unwarranted and unsubstantiated inflammatory and false assertions against the Trump administration (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-us-is-not-ready-for-bird-flu-in-humans/).
This article’s titular declaration that the “US is not ready for bird flu in humans” is myopic.
We beg to differ from this opinion, and hereby declare that our broad-spectrum antiviral drug NV-387 that H5N1 virus will not be able to escape even as it changes in the field, is ready to fight the battle and save lives, should a human H5N1 pandemic occur.
The said article is basically an opinion that is clearly limited to partial and biased analysis of current drugs and vaccine efforts for H5N1, and demonstrates total unawareness (or ignorance) of the failures (or very limited successes) of antiviral vaccine, antibody and small chemical drug approaches during the COVID pandemic. To wit, during COVID pandemic, vaccinated persons were still infected with the virus because the virus was ever-changing, and they became unwitting carriers of the virus. Thus, vaccination did not break the chain of virus transmission, and the R0 number continued to increase throughout the pandemic despite compulsory vaccinations. The immunity from vaccines was not long-lasting, and now immunity from natural COVID infection is thought to have been superior to that provided by the vaccines.
“Vaccines are not the right response for fast-moving viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 or H5N1, because vaccine deployment is at least 12 to 15 months behind the virus, when the virus has already moved on,” commented Anil R. Diwan, PhD, adding “We must learn from past pandemics and past mistakes. We believe that the iconoclastic Trump 2.0 administration will heed these lessons.”
NV-387 is ready to be a significant part of the pandemic preparedness and response arsenal, because it has already demonstrated activity against different and varied viruses including Coronaviruses (COVID), Influenza viruses, RSV, and even Poxviruses (MPox/Smallpox). Its design is thought to enable this drug NV-387 to be able to fight as many as 90-95% of human pathogenic viruses, based on literature reports of the vulnerabilities of human pathogenic viruses.
The bird-flu virus and its variants are highly unlikely to escape the broad spectrum, host-mimetic, antiviral drug NV-387, because all of these variants continue to land on the same host-side feature that NV-387 mimics. Further, in stringent lethal animal model studies to treat Influenza A H3N2 infection, NV387 has shown superior activity compared to osletamivir (Tamiflu®), peramivir (Rapivab®), and baloxavir (Xofluza®); all of these approved small chemical drugs are prone to escape by the virus with just single point mutations.
“We believe that the new administration will focus on rapid development and acquisition of broad-spectrum therapeutic drugs like NV-387 that the virus cannot escape, for the Nation’s arsenal of antiviral weaponry, in order to prepare for not just a potential bird flu pandemic in humans but also potential spread of MPox outside of the African region, and potential Smallpox bioteerorism, all at the same time, with a single drug capable of fighting all of these fights, thus saving billions of dollars to the American taxpayer, instead of the failed strategy of chasing viruses by continuing to develop new multi-billion-dollar vaccines every few months that was adopted by the Biden administration in response to the COVID pandemic,” Dr. Diwan stated.
Vaccines will now also face an increased barrier of being able to win over people to voluntarily take the vaccine shot that the people already know offers limited protection because so many people experienced a COVID infection multiple times even after getting vaccinated, due to variants.
“The Biden administration propagated only vaccines and antibodies development under the COVID response and later Project NextGen funding. This was in spite of the fact that antibodies, although rapidly given emergency use authorizations by the FDA, were losing efficacy every few months, as soon as a new variant of SARS-CoV-2 appeared. And yet the Biden administration continued to chase the changing virus with new vaccines and new antibodies, resulting in an extremely costly approach with little to show for it. Despite this, under the Biden administration, HHS has already sent $590 million of taxpayer money to Moderna alone, among other vaccine funds recipients, in order to be prepared to be able to develop an accurate H5N1 vaccine if and when a pandemic occurs, even though the virus will be different from any that the $590 million are being spent on,” said Diwan.
“I am certain the Trump 2.0 administration is in no mood to entertain such wasteful expenditures for H5N1 bird flu response,” said Dr. Diwan, adding, “Everyone understands that a broad-spectrum drug that the virus cannot escape is an essential part of an excellent multi-pronged strategy for pandemic response.”
“I implore the HHS Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to take the lessons of COVID pandemic to heart, and produce a consummate response to Bird Flu. Just as the Trump 1.0 administration deployed Operation Warp-Speed to enable development of the first ever modern mRNA vaccine rapidly, a similar approach needs to be adopted to promote rapid development of new therapeutic drugs against bird flu that the virus would not escape, so that there is an arsenal of weapons against the virus to treat the infection and save lives, while there is still time,” Diwan said.
Two different major genotypes of bird flu H5N1 are found to be circulating, both of which have caused infections in humans. A highly pathogenic genotype D1.1 from birds has led to one critical month-long illness in Canada and one death in the US signifying the potential for high morbidity and mortality from this genotype if it spreads in humans. A somewhat less pathogenic genotype B3.13 from dairy cows in several states including California has infected dairy workers that have recovered. In addition, D1.1 was recently found in milk from dairy cows in Nevada. Both genotypes are also found to be infecting many other mammals including cats, dogs and pigs. Dairy workers, persons exposed to wild birds or free-range flocks, and even veterinarians have been infected with bird flu.
Fortunately, there is no strong evidence of human to human transmission yet. Therefore, the threat of potential pandemic is still considered to be low. However, scientists have already found that a single point mutation in this virus can change that scenario quickly. Thus, the urgency of developing a viable broad-spectrum antiviral drug response is now immediate.
Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Drug NV-387 Cleared for Phase II Clinical Trial Application by the National Ethics Committee of the Democratic Republic of Congo
SHELTON, CT / ACCESS Newswire / May 8, 2025 / NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE Amer.:NNVC) (the “Company”) today reported that it has received approval from the National Ethics Committee for Health (CNES) of the Ministry of Public Health (MSP), of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). With this CNES approval, the proposed Phase II clinical trial to evaluate safety and effectiveness of NV-387 for the treatment of patients with MPox disease caused by hMPXV infection is cleared for further regulatory filing of a complete Clinical Trial Application (“CTA”).
“We are now fully engaged in completing the detailed CTA for the Phase II human clinical trial of NV-387 for the treatment of MPOX disease (hMPXV infection) for submission to the DRC Regulatory Agency, namely MSP,” said Anil R. Diwan, PhD, President and Executive Chairman of the Company.
The Company previously announced in January, 2025 that it has engaged a CRO for conducting a Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NV-387 for the treatment of MPox in the African Region.
Subsequently, the CRO has engaged the Medical Hospital at the University of Kinshasa as the clinical trial site (the “Site”) for the Phase II clinical trial.
Thereafter, the Company, the CRO, and the Principal Investigator at the Site have developed a package of information comprising synopses of the clinical trial protocol, and required background information on the novel drug NV-387, including a draft summary report of the Phase I human clinical trial, prior non-clinical data, as well as summary of the animal model effectiveness and safety of NV-387 for the treatment of lethal MPox infection providing rationale for the use of the novel broad-spectrum antiviral drug NV-387 for the treatment of hMPXV viral infection and the MPox disease caused by the infection.
This summary package was submitted to the National Regulatory Agency’s Ethics Committee CNES for a first review towards approval to proceed to the preparation and submission of the detailed CTA to the National Regulatory Agency, namely MSP of DRC.
The approval that we have now received from CNES clears the path for the perfected CTA filing to the MSP for approval and start of the clinical trial.
There is no drug available for the treatment of hMPXV infection that causes the MPox disease. A clinical trial of tecovirimat (TPOXX®, SIGA) failed to demonstrate any effectiveness over placebo, as per a NIH press release on August 15, 2024.
“NV-387, our broad-spectrum antiviral drug is poised to cause a revolution in treatment of viral diseases, just as antibiotics revolutionized the treatment of bacterial diseases,” said Anil R. Diwan, Ph.D., adding “NV-387 is designed to mimic human cells to trap and destroy the virus. This single drug can target over 90-95% of human pathogenic viruses due to this biomimicry, which is reminiscent of the antibiotic penicillin that targets a large number of human pathogenic bacteria.”
NV-387 was found to be highly effective in increasing survival in lethal animal models of influenza virus, surpassing existing drugs Tamiflu®, Rapivab® and Xofluza® by a large margin.
NV-387 led to a complete cure of lethal RSV lung infection in an animal model study. There is no approved drug for RSV treatment.
NV-387 was found to be highly effective in increasing survival in lethal animal models of Coronavirus infection (a stand-in model for SARS-CoV-2 infection), surpassing existing drug remdesivir by a large margin.
NV-387 was found to possess strong antiviral activity against an orthopoxvirus in an animal model that is considered an important model to establish potential effectiveness against MPox and Smallpox viruses, as all of these viruses belong to the same family of orthopoxviruses.
In fact, NV-387 effectiveness matched the effectiveness of the small chemical drug tecovirimat in two different models of infection, one was direct skin infection, and the other was a direct lung infection, by the virus.
Escape of virus from tecovirimat can occur by a single point mutation in a viral protein called VP-37.
Vaccines, antibodies, and small chemical drugs such as tecovirimat for MPox/Smallpox, or oseltamivir (Tamiflu®), baloxavir (Xofluza®) for Influenza are readily escaped by viruses simply by introduction of small changes that viruses undergo when they are faced with these challenges in the field.
In contrast, escape of virus from NV-387 is highly unlikely because no matter how much the virus changes in the field, it continues to use sulfated proteoglycans such as HSPG as “attachment receptor” in order to cause cell infection. NV-387 mimics the sulfated proteoglycan signature feature that the viruses require.
MPox disease, caused by the human MPox virus (hMPXV) has been causing a regional pandemic encompassing several countries in the WHO African Region that includs the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda, and other countries. It led to the WHOdeclaring a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (“PHEIC”) on August 14, 2024. Since then, the PHEIC status declaration has been extended twice, most recently in March, 2025. The Mpox epidemic has continued to spread in the DRC, Uganda, and neighboring countries and the number of new weekly cases is still increasing in the WHO African Region.
NV-387 is a host-mimetic drug that “looks like a cell” to the virus, displaying numerous ligands that mimic the sulfated proteoglycan, enticing the virus to bind to and become engulfed by the NV-387 dynamic shape-shifting polymeric micelle.
Therefore development of NV-387, a broad-spectrum host-mimetic, direct-acting antiviral drug that the viruses cannot escape even as they change constantly, will be revolutionary once the drug undergoes regulatory development for approval for use in humans.
New viruses and existing viruses acquiring greater pathology and infectivity are bound to keep appearing in time. To combat such threats, we need to develop broad-spectrum drug arsenal that the viruses cannot escape. Vaccines and antibodies simply will not do, and their limitations have become clearly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic.
