NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE:NNVC) (the "Company"), a clinical stage leader developing antiviral drugs that viruses cannot escape, announces that its Phase II Clinical Trial of NV-387 Oral Gummies as a Treatment for the Current Bundibugyo Ebolavirus and other Ebola viruses in the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC") was successfully registered in the Pan African Clinical Trials Registry (pactr.samrc.ac.za) database. The unique identification number for this clinical trial is PACTR202608748555077.

The clinical trial is entitled with a descriptive title: "An adaptive, multi-centre Phase IIA/IIB clinical trial of NV-387 oral gummies plus optimised supportive care in adults with Ebola virus disease (Bundibugyo or other orthoebolaviruses): a single-arm safety and dose run-in (Phase IIA) followed by a randomised, controlled, open-label efficacy evaluation with independent blinded-endpoint adjudication (Phase IIB)." Prof. Patrick de Marie Chimusa Katoto is listed as the principal investigator to lead this clinical trial, as previously announced by the Company.

Under the leadership of Professor Katoto, NanoViricides, as the drug sponsor of NV-387 Oral Gummies, has received regulatory approval to begin this Phase II Clinical Trial of NV-387 Oral Gummies as a Treatment for the Current Bundibugyo Ebolavirus and other Ebola viruses, from the local regulatory agency ACOREP in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The drug product, NV-387 Oral Gummies was shipped to and has been received at the clinical trial site in Ituru province last week.

Therefore, it is anticipated that the first Ebola patient dosing with NV-387 oral gummies under this clinical trial can be expected to occur within one to two weeks, barring impediments caused by the very ebola disease outbreak that the trial is designed to respond to.
