Histogen Inc HSTO, and its partner Amerimmune LLC, have announced topline results from its Phase 1 study evaluating emricasan in mild symptomatic COVID-19 patients.
The study demonstrated that emricasan was safe and well-tolerated during the 14 days of dosing and at the day 45 follow-up compared to placebo with no reports of serious adverse events.
Patients who completed treatment with emricasan had a complete resolution of the symptoms most commonly associated with mild COVID-19, such as cough, headache, and fatigue, at day seven and continued through day 45.
Patients in the placebo arm who completed the study did not experience COVID-19 symptom resolution until the 45th day.
Price Action: HSTO shares are up 9.8% at $1.04 during the market session on the last check Tuesday.
