Drugmaker Biophore India Pharmaceuticals on Friday said it has applied to the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) seeking emergency use approval for Aviptadil Inhalation in the treatment of moderate to severe COVID-19 patients. The Hyderabad-based company said it has developed the product technology at its research and development facility on the basis of the globally available product. It plans to commence commercial production immediately on receipt of the approval. Aviptadil is a synthetic form of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide that when administered “results in rapid clinical recovery in patients with severe SARS-COV-2 infection. These observations are based on results of multiple trials of Aviptadil against COVID-19 globally in patients with respiratory failure and the same have been submitted to DCGI for review,” a release from Biophore said.
