Revive may also expand commercialization globally by leveraging Supriya’s extensive manufacturing and commercial network, coupled with Revive’s ongoing U.S. FDA Phase 3 clinical study results for Bucillamine as treatment for mild-to-moderate COVID-19.

Michael Frank, CEO of Revive, commented,

“While our Phase 3 clinical study for COVID-19 is ongoing in the USA, we are laying the groundwork by partnering with Supriya to execute on our global manufacturing and commercialization plans, and leveraging their regulatory expertise and commercial reach with 78 countries they currently supply pharmaceutical products to.

We are focused on completing our current Phase 3 study in the USA and also obtaining EUA. These results will support drug approval registrations globally, including India, Europe and Canada.”
