Shares of Relief Therapeutics’ (SIX: RLF) closed the week 1,341% higher after its RLF-100 COVID-19 treatment showed an early potential in the second testing phase.
The chairman of the firm, Raghuram Selvaraju, believes that there is a “60%-70%” chance to get approval for the drug.
“From an efficacy standpoint we need more data. I would say the probability at the moment stands at 60 to 70% that we will get the drug approved,” Selvaraju told Swiss newspaper The Market.
“The active pharmaceutical ingredient of aviptadil has been used for a lot of years in different indications. From a safety standpoint we are quite optimistic,” he added.
