An inhaled interferon beta-1a treatment from Southampton, UK-based respiratory specialist Synairgen (LSE: SNG) is to be included in a large trial testing agents against the novel coronavirus.

Dubbed SNG001, the therapy will be trialed as part of the ACTIV-2/A5401 Phase II/III trial in people who have COVID-19 but have not been hospitalized.

In the Phase II part of the study, up to 220 participants in the USA will be enrolled to participate in a home-based setting, with SNG001 going up against placebo. A positive result would enable progression into the Phase III stage.
