InflaRx to cover costs of GOHIBIC for patients who are treated in line with its Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) but do not survive. InflaRx is determined to support broader access to GOHIBIC for eligible patients. ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InflaRx Pharmaceuticals Inc., a subsidiary of InflaRx N.V. (Nasdaq: IFRX), a biopharmaceutical company pioneering anti-inflammatory therapeutics by targeting the complement system, announced today that the Company has launched The InflaRx Commitment Program (Commitment Program). Pursuant to the Commitment Program, the cost of GOHIBIC (vilobelimab) will be refunded for up to six (6) administered inpatient doses (the full treatment course) to institutions that meet the eligibility requirements*, for patients who were administered GOHIBIC in line with its EUA and who died due to COVID-19 in the intensive care unit. In April 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an EUA for GOHIBIC for the treatment of COVID-19 in hospitalized adults when initiated within 48 hours of the patient receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). While GOHIBIC has been FDA authorized, it is not FDA approved for this use. The Commitment Program is designed to encourage medical facilities across the United States to stock GOHIBIC, since the initiation of treatment is time critical, and to ultimately provide the opportunity for patients to access this potentially life-saving therapy. According to the Centers for Disease Control, there has been a recent increase in COVID-19 fatality rates, with reported deaths related to this disease in the range of 1,500 deaths per week in the U.S.1 Christian Sandrock, M.D., M.P.H., FCCP, Division Vice Chair of Internal Medicine, Director of Critical Care, Professor of Medicine, UC Davis Health, said: “Once a patient with COVID-19 reaches the point of intubation, there are extremely limited treatments available outside of supportive care and mechanical ventilatory support. With COVID-19 deaths again on the rise, it is critical that doctors have access to more therapies to help save the lives of these patients, particularly for those that have progressed to require mechanical ventilation. With the emergency use authorization of GOHIBIC, the FDA recognized a critical unmet need and provided those of us on the frontlines, fighting this disease, an important new option which has been specifically developed as a potentially life-saving therapy for these sickest patients.” He added: “Many hospitals struggle to provide patient access to all available medicines, even those that may be lifesaving. So, it is reassuring that InflaRx is willing to reimburse the cost of their medicine in cases where the patient does not survive. This shows me that InflaRx is confident in their product, is doing everything it can to support hospitals and get GOHIBIC to patients who are in critical need of intervention.” Prof. Niels C. Riedemann, Chief Executive Officer, and Founder of InflaRx, commented: “COVID-19 continues to take far too many lives. Despite this unacceptable situation, patients do not always have access to approved or authorized treatment options. With today´s announcement, we are demonstrating our strong commitment to help make GOHIBIC available for the most affected COVID-19 patients as a potential life-saving therapy. There are currently no approved or authorized alternatives to GOHIBIC, and we believe that all eligible patients and the physicians responsible for their care should have access to this treatment.” The data supporting the EUA for GOHIBIC was based on a multicenter Phase III (PANAMO) trial, one of the largest 1:1 randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trials in invasively mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients in intensive care units. The results showed that treatment with GOHIBIC improved survival, with a relative reduction in 28-day all-cause mortality of 23.9% compared to placebo in the global data set. The data has been published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. GOHIBIC is the only drug directed against the complement factor C5a that is authorized for the treatment of certain critically ill COVID-19 patients. Information for Healthcare Facilities for Ordering GOHIBIC (vilobelimab) Healthcare facilities can order GOHIBIC from ASD Healthcare (i) by calling 1-800-746-6273 or (ii) by e-mailing service@asdhealthcare.com.

About the EUA for GOHIBIC (vilobelimab) The FDA has issued an EUA for the emergency use of GOHIBIC for the treatment of COVID-19 in hospitalized adults when initiated within 48 hours of receiving IMV or ECMO. GOHIBIC has not been approved but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA under an EUA for the treatment of COVID-19 in hospitalized adults when initiated within 48 hours of receiving IMV or ECMO. The emergency use of GOHIBIC is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of drugs and biological products during the COVID-19 pandemic under Section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the declaration is terminated, or authorization revoked sooner. Important Information about GOHIBIC (vilobelimab) Vilobelimab is a first-in-class monoclonal anti-human complement factor C5a antibody that has been granted an EUA for the treatment of COVID-19 in hospitalized adults when initiated within 48 hours of receiving IMV or ECMO. Vilobelimab is an investigational drug that has not been approved by the FDA for any indication including for the treatment of COVID-19. There is limited information known about the safety and effectiveness of using GOHIBIC to treat people in the hospital with COVID-19. Please see additional information in the Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers, Fact Sheet for Patients and Parents/Caregivers and FDA Letter of Authorization on the GOHIBIC website ( ). Important Safety Information about GOHIBIC (vilobelimab) There are limited clinical data available for GOHIBIC. Serious and unexpected adverse events (AEs) may occur that have not been previously reported with GOHIBIC use. GOHIBIC has been associated with an increase of serious infections. In patients with COVID-19, monitor for signs and symptoms of new infections during and after treatment with GOHIBIC. Hypersensitivity reactions have been observed with GOHIBIC. If a severe hypersensitivity reaction occurs, administration of GOHIBIC should be discontinued and appropriate therapy initiated. The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥3%) are pneumonia, sepsis, delirium, pulmonary embolism, hypertension, pneumothorax, deep vein thrombosis, herpes simplex, enterococcal infection, bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, hepatic enzyme increased, urinary tract infection, hypoxia, thrombocytopenia, pneumomediastinum, respiratory tract infection, supraventricular tachycardia, constipation, and rash. Healthcare providers and/or their designee are responsible for mandatory FDA MedWatch reporting of all medication errors and serious adverse events or deaths occurring during GOHIBIC treatment and considered to be potentially attributable to GOHIBIC. Report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or . In addition, side effects can be reported to InflaRx at: pvusa@inflarx.de For the full prescribing information and additional important safety information, please visit About Viral Sepsis in SARS-CoV-2 Infection Invasively mechanically ventilated patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 fulfill the criteria set by the current third international consensus definitions for sepsis, which define sepsis as a “life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection”. Viral infection-mediated sepsis is believed to be driven by the inflammatory immune response of a patient to the virus. Observational studies have suggested that the inflammatory response, endothelial permeability and coagulopathy observed in severe COVID-19 are associated with strong complement activation and C5a generation as part of the human innate immune response. By targeting the complement component C5a in critically ill and invasively mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients, vilobelimab is believed to block a key mediator of this inflammatory host response induced by severe SARS-CoV-2 infection and, thus, potentially offers a mechanism of action that may be independent of the viral variant that has caused such inflammatory response. Inhibition of the C5a / C5aR pathway has been demonstrated to be beneficial or lifesaving in various pre-clinical models of viral lung injury and viral sepsis, including models investigating influenza and corona viruses. About Vilobelimab Vilobelimab is a first-in-class monoclonal anti-human complement factor C5a antibody, which highly and effectively blocks the biological activity of C5a and demonstrates high selectivity towards its target in human blood. Thus, vilobelimab leaves the formation of the membrane attack complex (C5b-9) intact as an important defense mechanism of the innate immune system, which is not the case for molecules blocking C5. In pre-clinical studies, vilobelimab has been shown to control the inflammatory response driven tissue and organ damage by specifically blocking C5a as a key “amplifier” of this response. In addition to development in COVID-19, vilobelimab is also being developed for various debilitating or life-threatening inflammatory indications, including pyoderma gangrenosum and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Multi-national, randomized, controlled adaptive Phase III study in ulcerative pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) initiated and first patient dosed in the U.S.PG is a rare and debilitating autoimmune skin disease characterized by painful ulcers that can rapidly progress JENA, Germany, Nov. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InflaRx N.V. (Nasdaq: IFRX), a biotechnology company pioneering anti-inflammatory therapeutics targeting the complement system, announced today that the first patient has been dosed in its Phase III study investigating the efficacy and safety of vilobelimab in ulcerative PG, a rare neutrophilic and inflammatory skin disease characterized by destructive, painful cutaneous ulcers. “We are pleased that the first patient has been dosed in the U.S. in our pivotal Phase III study with vilobelimab for the treatment of ulcerative pyoderma gangrenosum. There are currently no approved treatments for this debilitating disease in either the U.S. or Europe, and therefore, there remains a high unmet medical need for these patients,” said Dr. Camilla Chong, MD, Chief Medical Officer of InflaRx. “The Phase III study builds on our promising Phase II clinical results, and we look forward to the continual collaboration with external experts with the ultimate goal of helping patients that are suffering from this devastating condition.” The Phase III clinical study is designed to enroll patients worldwide, including countries such as the U.S., countries in Europe, and Australia. The multi-national, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial has two arms: one arm receiving vilobelimab (2400mg every other week) plus a low dose of corticosteroids and another arm receiving placebo plus the same low dose of corticosteroids. In both arms, corticosteroid treatment will be initiated on day 1 and will be tapered off within the first 8 weeks of the trial. The primary endpoint of the study is complete closure of the target ulcer at any time up to 26 weeks after initiation of treatment. The study has an adaptive trial design with an interim analysis blinded for the sponsor and investigators (but unblinded for the independent data safety monitoring committee), which is planned upon enrollment of approximately 30 patients, divided equally between the two aforementioned arms of the study. The interim analysis with a set of predefined rules will take into account the then-observed difference in complete target ulcer closure between the two arms and will then determine whether the trial sample size will be adapted or whether the trial should be stopped due to futility. The enrollment period is projected to last at least two years, and its overall period will depend on the total trial size after sample size adaptation. The Company has received Fast Track and Orphan Drug (OD) designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as OD designation by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of PG. About Pyoderma Gangrenosum Ulcerative PG is a rare, non-infectious, neutrophilic dermatosis recurrent skin disorder characterized by painful, necrolytic, cutaneous ulcers that can rapidly progress. PG is considered an autoimmune disease of the skin, but the underlying cause of PG is not known in detail. PG lesions are histologically characterized by pronounced infiltration of neutrophils, and activated neutrophils surrounding the ulcers are believed to be disease drivers. PG typically occurs in patients between the ages of 40 and 60, and PG patients often also suffer from other autoimmune disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis. There are currently no approved drugs for the treatment of PG in the U.S. or in Europe, and there is no established standard of care based on controlled studies. About Vilobelimab Vilobelimab is a first-in-class monoclonal anti-human complement factor C5a antibody, which highly and effectively blocks the biological activity of C5a and demonstrates high selectivity towards its target in human blood. Thus, vilobelimab leaves the formation of the membrane attack complex (C5b-9) intact as an important defense mechanism of the innate immune system, which is not the case for molecules blocking C5. In pre-clinical studies, vilobelimab has been shown to control the inflammatory response driven tissue and organ damage by specifically blocking C5a as a key “amplifier” of this response. Gohibic (vilobelimab) has been granted an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in the U.S. for the treatment of COVID-19 in hospitalized adults when initiated within 48 hours of receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). A Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for the treatment of adult patients with SARS-CoV-2 induced septic acute respiratory distress syndrome receiving IMV or ECMO is currently under review by the European Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use. In addition to development in COVID-19, vilobelimab is being developed for other debilitating or life-threatening inflammatory indications, including pyoderma gangrenosum.
