Quartesian has announced a new partnership with Amyndas Pharmaceuticals for their Phase 2 clinical study evaluating the efficacy of AMY-101 in COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS, a life-threatening type of lung failure, is a common complication in severe COVID-19 patients.
AMY-101 is a new-generation potent complement inhibitor. The trial is designed to study whether AMY-101 can halt the broad thromboinflammatory response associated with COVID-19.
"Quartesian tremendously values the relationship we have with Amyndas and we look forward to collaborating on this special trial," said Ben Jackson, President and CEO of Quartesian. "This study will help to more thoroughly understand the role of C3 complement inhibitors for the treatment of COVID-19 symptoms and it is an important step in the clinical development of AMY-101. We are grateful to be able to contribute to the management of this global health crisis."
