Excerpt from the Press Release:
RADNOR, Pa., Feb. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NRx Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: NRXP), a clinical-stage, biopharmaceutical company, today reported remarks by Dr. Shmuel Yitzhaki, Director of the Israel Institute for Biological Research, who spoke at the Eli Hurvitz Institute for Strategic Management of Tel Aviv University. His remarks were summarized in the Hebrew language edition of Globes as follows:
Dr. Shmuel Yitzhaki, the Director of the Israeli Institute for Biological Research, shared in a conference, the story of the development of the Israeli vaccine for Covid, which is in clinical trials these days, through NRx Pharmaceuticals. The technology of the vaccine is engineering of spike protein on a VSV virus, that is infectious mainly in cattle. In humans, in rare cases VSV causes a mild and short-lived disease. This VSV approach is already in use for the vaccine for Ebola.
The method is already known, so we expect that the regulatory process will be quicker. The manufacturing is scalable and the technology is modular, meaning that it can be appropriate for new variants and to new pandemics, as soon as we build the capability.
