EG-009, one of the nine R&D pipelines of Evergreen Therapeutics, Inc., will be used to treat the Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) triggered by the COVID-19. The total number of COVID-19 cases worldwide now stands at nearly 70 million, with more than 1.5 million deaths. CRS is a complex inflammatory response and is the leading cause of death for moderate to severe COVID-19. CRS can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ failure. In addition, many COVID-19 patients will have a secondary cytokine storm after being discharged from hospital. EG-009 can inhibit the activity of a variety of cytokines, so as to achieve the treatment of moderate/severe COVID-19 and reduce the mortality of patients. At present, EG-009A injection, another COVID-19 treatment drug, is being pl

On October 27, 2020 (Beijing time), Evergreen Therapeutical, Inc. announced that the US FDA had approved its application for the phase II clinical trial of COVID-19 EG-009A in advance on October 26, Eastern Time.

Evergreen Therapeutics Inc. announced on October 13, 2020, Beijing time, that the US FDA has officially approved its phase I Clinical Application (IND) for the treatment of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (idiopathic interstitial pneumonia). EG-001 is one of Evergreen's nine R&D pipelines, used to control Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias (IIP). IIP is a kind of rare disease with unknown etiology and similar clinical features. Histologically, IIP can be classified into 6 subclasses, characterized by various degrees of pulmonary inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis. The clinical manifestations of IIP are progressive dyspnea and pulmonary imaging abnormalities. None of the countries in the world have approved drugs to treat IIP. In the face of such an incurable disease, heavy use
