EMA starts sabizabulin review for COVID-19 ahead of Veru's MA filing

27 July 2022

The European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Emergency Task Force (ETF) has started a review of data on the use of sabizabulin for treating COVID-19.

Sabizabulin is under development by USA-based Veru (Nasdaq: VERU), a biopharma developing novel medicines for COVID-19 and other viral and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)-related diseases.

The review will look at all available data, including data from a study involving hospitalized patients with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 who are at high risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome and death. The results of this study indicate that sabizabulin treatment could reduce the number of deaths in these patients compared with placebo.
