The financing will be used in the development for ILC’s lead hybrid interferon drug, Alfacyte (human alpha interferon), an anti-viral medicine for the treatment of upper respiratory tract viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2 which causes Covid-19.
ILC Therapeutics' unique synthetic Interferon called Alfacyte™ is fifteen to twenty times more effective at preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in cell culture than other commercially-available Interferons such as Interferon alpha 2 and Interferon beta 1a.
The collaborative work between ILC Therapeutics and Dr. Catherine Adamson from the School of Biology at the University of St Andrews, will focus on the role that Alfacyte can play in preventing COVID-19-indusced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
