Immunic Announces FDA Allowance of IMU-838 Trial

Immunic announced receipt of regulatory allowance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate its phase 2, CALVID-1 clinical trial of IMU-838, the company's selective oral DHODH inhibitor, in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at centers in the United States.

CALVID-1 received regulatory allowance from the German health authority, BfArM (Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte), on May 13, 2020 and has subsequently also received regulatory allowance in other European countries involved in the study. It is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial in patients with moderate COVID-19, designed to evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerability of IMU-838. Top-line data is expected to be available later this year.
