Hopes for the new year: #LongCovid trials I'm excited about

1) #CPCOV03

Host directed antiviral, induced autophagy

I wrote a thread about it here
2) #TVG489

Allogenic CAR T cells

These will hopefully be able to clear infected cells, if T cell evasion by SARS-CoV-2 (via MHC I downregulation) can be overcome

I have wondered why ph2/3 #VV116 trials exclude participants with eye disease (super specific imo)

From study protocol: Conjunctiva and cornea changes were noted in dogs treated at 250 mpk

A VV116-specific effect or also applicable to #GS441524 prodrugs @GileadSciences?
I am reminded of the FDA-approved ocular drugs that are ester prodrugs. Added lipophilicity + esterase expression in cornea might explain preclinical ocular tox with VV116 in dogs.

Chinese patent by the WIV first filed in Sept 2020. WO patent filed in April 2021. Gilead's 2009 patent on 524 and the 2016 patent on #remdesivir do not include any of the compounds described in the WIV patent. Does Gilead actually own any of these WIV compounds?? 3/4 ImageImage
