“We are all delighted with the trial results announced today, which showed that SNG001 greatly reduced the number of hospitalised Covid-19 patients who progressed from requiring oxygen to requiring ventilation,” said Richard Marsden, CEO of Synairgen.
The results published Monday have not yet been peer-reviewed and the sample size is relatively small.
But if confirmed the treatment could revolutionise the way Covid-19 is dealt with in hospitals.
Interferon beta is a naturally occurring protein, commonly used to treat multiple sclerosis.
It forms part of the body’s natural fight against infection, and the novel coronavirus suppresses its production in an attempt to evade an immune response.
Delivering the protein directly into the lungs of patients is designed to trigger a robust immune response to the virus, even in patients whose immune system is already weakened by infection.
“The results confirm our belief that interferon beta… has huge potential as an inhaled drug to be able to restore the lung’s immune response,” said Tom Wilkinson, professor or respiratory medicine at the University of Southampton.
He said the trial showed SNG001 was effective in “enhancing protection, accelerating recover and countering the impact of SARS-CoV-2 virus.”
There are currently a number of treatments available for patients hospitalised with Covid-19.
Last month a Britain-based team of researchers lead by the University of Oxford announced they had successfully reduced the risk of death among seriously ill patients by administering the commonly available steroid dexamethasone.
Several countries have also issued the emergency authorisation for treatment with anti-viral remdesivir.

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 1 month after I turned 50. My grandma is 96 and had it since she was in her 20s. I have been on WORLD HERBS CLINIC MS HERBAL FORMULA , the first TWO MONTHS was daily and now I am on 3 times a week. It has made a tremendous difference for me. The fatigue never gets to me again. When I do too much, I don’t feel weak anymore..
I was a patient diagnosed with MS and I’m living proof that you can be cured from multiple sclerosis. I was diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis in 2020, after finally receiving the MRI I had been waiting on for years. The MRI showed that I had a lot of lesions on my spine, more than I could count, but only three on my brain, two of which looked active. The neurologist explained that the lesions on my spine attribute to my physical disability. My mobility was seriously affected afterwards so I was glad I could rest on my sofa, I would have struggled to walk out of the hospital and the car ride home would have been painful. I was cured naturally with the use of Dr Sims Gomez Herbs A Clinic with model Herbal Formula, within three weeks I was recovering. In 2021 I began seeing Dr Gomez Sims, who specializes in internal and pulmonary medicine at drsimsgomezherbs . com).
