InflaRx Provides Development Update For Vilobelimab In Skin Disorder, COVID-19 - InflaRx (NASDAQ:IFRX)

InflaRx N.V. IFRX provided a development update for its monoclonal anti-C5a antibody, vilobelimab, in pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) and severe COVID-19.
The FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have granted orphan drug designation to vilobelimab for PG.
PG is a rare condition that causes large, painful sores (ulcers) to develop on the skin.
In addition, the company had a productive FDA end-of-phase II meeting to its plans for a Phase 3 development program in PG.
The FDA indicated its support for a randomized, controlled Phase 3 study and offered to review the study protocol.
Based on the agency's feedback and recommendations, InflaRx is now finalizing the design for a Phase 3 trial.
InflaRx requested a meeting with the FDA to obtain guidance for a potential emergency use authorization submission of vilobelimab in COVID-19 patients.
