- The company's pipeline includes potentially best-in-class oral small molecule medicines targeting serious respiratory infections and solid tumor cancers.
- Tivoxavir marboxil, the influenza candidate, shows potential as a universal agent for flu, effective against various strains including oseltamivir and baloxavir resistant viruses.
- Ratutrelvir, the COVID candidate, does not require combination with CYP-inhibitors, reducing the risk of drug-drug interactions, especially in older patient populations.
- Traws Pharma Inc (TRAW) reported a net loss of $123.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, largely due to a noncash charge related to in-process R&D.
