Both the oral and injectable versions of the Company’s anti-influenza drug have shown extremely high efficacy in animal models against two different influenza A virus strains tested. The Company believes that both candidates will be effective against most, if not all, influenza viruses, including bird flu (H5N1), novel epidemic virus strains, high path influenzas, as well as the seasonal influenza viruses.
