NanoViricides Inc., a clinical-stage company specializing in broad-spectrum antivirals, has announced the imminent commencement of an animal study for its Measles drug development program. The study will evaluate drug candidates in a lethal animal infection model, using specially modified mice that express the human CD150/SLAM protein, necessary for Measles virus entry into cells. The company is advancing its drug NV-387, which previously demonstrated efficacy against RSV in animals and may show similar effectiveness against Measles. NV-387 acts by mimicking cell features to bind and destroy viruses. The study aims to assess NV-387's potential for treating Measles, addressing a growing need as current Measles genotypes drift from existing vaccine strains. There is currently no approved drug for Measles, with Vitamin A and ribavirin being used in specific cases. Results from this study will inform the potential human application of NV-387.
