    Zyesami (Aviptadil) TherapeuticAuthored byStaffUpdated November 11, 2021 Last reviewedNovember 11, 2021Fact checked byRobert Carlson, MD + Holly Lutmer PharmDShareZyesami (Aviptadil) Therapeutic DescriptionZyesami (Aviptadil) is a formulation of synthetic human Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP), which was first discovered in 1970. VIP is known to target the VPAC1 receptor of the alveolar type II (ATII) cell and protect that cell against all manner of injuries, including smoke inhalation, exposure to stomach acid, and exposure to infectious agents. In addition, VIP prevents apoptosis, blocks cytokines, lowers TNFα levels, reverses CD4/CD8 ratio, and reduces cough and dyspnea in nonclinical and clinical studies.Although first identified in the intestinal tract, VIP is now known to be produced throughout the body and primarily concentrated in the lungs. In addition, VIP has been shown in more than hundreds of peer-reviewed studies to have potent anti-inflammatory/anti-cytokine activity in animal models of respiratory distress, acute lung injury, and inflammation says the Company.Because of its lack of toxicity and low cost of manufacture compared to proprietary biologics, VIPmay be uniquely attractive to those focused on global countermeasures against COVID-19, says the Company.Additionally, the U.S. FDA has approved an expanded access protocol for the use of RLF-100 in patients with Critical COVID-19 and Respiratory Failure. The purpose of this expanded access program is to serve patients with a life-threatening need who don't qualify for or cannot access the FDA phase 2/3 clinical trials currently underway. Patients will be treated with 12-hour infusions of RLF-100 at ascending doses of 50/100/150 pmol/kg/hr on three successive days. Those respiratory conditions include Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, acute smoke inhalation, sarcoidosis, and checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis.NRx Pharmaceuticals announced top-line data on September 27, 2021, demonstrating improved outcomes at one year in highly comorbid patients with COVID-19 treated with ZYESAMI. "We are still learning so much about COVID-19, especially in patients already managing chronic medical conditions, and continuing to recover from COVID-19," said Dr. J. Georges Youssef, the Principal Investigator who serves as Head of Academic Pulmonary Medicine at Houston Methodist Hospital and as Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College.Aviptadil [USAN:INN:BAN]; RN: 40077-57-4; UNII: A67JUW790C; InChIKey: VBUWHHLIZKOSMS-RIWXPGAOSA-NSwitzerland-based RELIEF THERAPEUTICS Holding AG, a biopharmaceutical company, developed the compound RLF-100™ (aviptadil).Radnor, PA-based NeuroRx, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRXP) is developing innovative therapies for high-mortality unmet needs. NeuroRx has signed an agreement to complete a business combination with Big RockPartners Acquisition Corporation.Zyesami (Aviptadil) Therapeutic IndicationPatients with Critical COVID-19 and respiratory failure, currently treated with high flow nasal oxygen, noninvasive ventilation, or mechanical ventilation, will be treated with RLF-100 (Aviptadil). The ability to deliver VIP directly to the lung via inhalation could have important therapeutic implications and potentially broaden the application to patients less severely affected with COVID-19, says the Company.Separately, the National Institutes of Health conducts a confirmatory trial that randomizes patients with COVID-19 respiratory failure to ZYESAMI vs. Veklury® (remdesivir) and placebo in a factorial design trial (NCT04843761). In addition, a second nationwide trial to determine if similar benefits may be achieved in critically ill patients with inhaled ZYESAMI™ is being conducted on the I-SPY platform, maintained by the Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative.Zyesami (Aviptadil) Treatment DosagePhase 2b/3 study Intervention: 3 successive 12-hour intravenous infusions of Aviptadil at 50/100/150 pmol/kg/hr.Zyesami (Aviptadil) Treatment Side EffectsNo unexpected side effects were identified as of February 9, 2021. The most common side effects of ZYESAMI in the clinical trial were mild to moderate diarrhea (seen in 30% of ZYESAMI-treated vs. 1.5% of placebo-treated patients) and systemic hypotension (low blood pressure) seen in 31 ZYESAMI-treated patients vs. 25 placebo patients. In addition, after a Review of 232 Enrolled Patients in ACTIV-3b Critical Care Study, No New Safety Concerns Raised by Independent Data Safety Monitoring Board as of September 29, 2021.VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences. Anyone can submit a report to VAERS, including parents and patients. Furthermore, healthcare providers are required by law to report to VAERS.Zyesami (Aviptadil) Therapeutic ProductionNRx confirmed on August 16, 2021, the development of the first shelf-stable formulation of ZYESAMI, which was announced in early Q3'21, along with engagement in scaling up aviptadil drug substance from 100,000 doses per manufacturing batch to a projected three million doses per batch, combined with a 90% reduction in cost per gram of aviptadil drug substance.On November 11, 2021, the company confirmed the FDA responded to NRx’s October 8, 2021, submission of updated manufacturing information for ZYESAMI® (aviptadil).
