Immunic posts interim results for COVID-19 immunotherapy trial

By The Science Advisory Board staff writers

September 28, 2020 -- Immunic released positive interim results from an ongoing phase II safety and efficacy clinical trial for its dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) product, IMU-838, in COVID-19 patients.

To date, 110 patients have been enrolled in the CALVID-1 trial, and a total of 230 patients are expected to be enrolled in 10-35 centers across Europe and the U.S. During the interim safety analysis of the trial, an independent data monitoring committee concluded that the study should continue without changes. While the safety evaluation was conducted on a relatively small number of patients, it marks an important milestone in the clinical development of IMU-383.

The company plans to report more results once approximately 200 patients have been treated and if a subsequent phase III trial is warranted.
