Revive Therapeutics provides update on novel bucillamine formulation development

Revive Therapeutics provides an update on the development of a next generation lyophilized formulation of Bucillamine. Under an agreement with the University of Waterloo, formulation development is ongoing and aims to be completed by the end of December 2023. Discussions with contract development manufacturing organizations with expertise in the clinical manufacturing of lyophilized products are ongoing. The Company expects to have its novel lyophilized formulation of Bucillamine ready for clinical evaluation in 2024. The Company intends to explore the novel Bucillamine formulation as a potential treatment for public health medical emergencies including, pandemic influenza, emerging infectious diseases, and medical countermeasure incidents and attacks. In addition, as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, Bucillamine may be useful for orphan indications in rare inflammatory disorders such as ischemia-reperfusion injury resulting from solid organ transplantation.
