NEWTOWN, Pa., May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sen-Jam Pharmaceuticals and KVK Tech are collaborating to develop a Covid-19 oral therapy. The companies will operate in parallel while they complete the Phase II clinical trials in Nepal. KVK Tech will offer formulation and chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) for the oral therapy.

Furthermore, KVK will invest strategically in Sen-Jam to conclude the whole development activities needed to provide the CMC package to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for submitting a new drug application (NDA).

KVK will have exclusive manufacturing and supply rights for the product in the US. Sen-Jam will utilize the finished formulation and CMC report to enter licensing deals with contracting manufacturing companies (CMOs) globally.

KVK's VP of Business Development and Brand Marketing, Kiran Vepuri, said: "We are impressed by the diligence of our partner in ensuring that the COVID-19 therapy is rigorously tested in a timely manner. We hope that our joint efforts can save lives by bringing a novel, affordable medication to the global healthcare community as quickly as possible. With the FDA recently acknowledging that COVID is likely to remain with us long term, the need for additional, scalable therapies is more critical than ever."

In August last year, Sen-Jam and Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore partnered to launch a Phase II trial of the investigational treatment, SJP-002C, for Covid-19 in Nepal.
