PhaseBio gets FDA OK for clinical trial of COVID-19 treatment

PhaseBio Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:PHAS) +81% after-hours as the Food & Drug Administration authorized the company to proceed with VANGARD, “a potentially pivotal clinical trial to evaluate PB1046 as a treatment for hospitalized COVID-19 patients who are at high risk for rapid clinical deterioration and acute respiratory distress syndrome.”
PB1046 is an injected vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor agonist that targets VPAC receptors in the cardiovascular, pulmonary and immune systems; VIP has been observed to have potent bronchodilatory and immunomodulatory effects in the respiratory system.
Based on FDA feedback, the company believes “positive, clearly interpretable and clinically meaningful trial results may enable PhaseBio to submit a Biologics License Application.”
