The SALT score is a measure of the amount of scalp hair loss in people with Alopecia Areata.According to the trial results, at Week 24, patients treated with Bempikibart showed a mean reduction in SALT score of 16% compared to just 2% reduction among placebo patients.

Christopher Schaber, the CEO of Soligenix, said that the company's ThermoVax platform has stabilized vaccines for ricin toxin, Ebola-family viruses, and COVID-19, supporting its use as a proven thermostabilization approach for protein subunit vaccines. He added that the technology could help these vaccines compete with other platforms that require stricter cold storage.SNGX closed Wednesday's trading at $0.86, up 68.75%.

NNVC Exploring NV-387 to Fight Ebola NanoViricides Inc. (NNVC), developing antiviral drugs, was up over 15% on Wednesday.The company is developing NV-387, which it suggests could be effective against the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola that is spreading rapidly in Africa. All filoviruses, including all Ebola strains, utilise the sulfated proteoglycans for initial cell attachment, and NV-387 is designed to target this interaction to inactivate the viruses.NV-387 is available as an oral medication that has excellent stability at room temperature, enabling ease of transport, distribution, and delivery to patients. NV-387 oral gummies dissolve naturally in the mouth and do not require tablet swallowing, which is difficult for children, seniors, and also patients with sore throat.The company noted that NV-387 Oral Gummies drug product is ready to be shipped to Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) for the impending Phase II clinical trial of NV-387 as a treatment for Mpox. It will thus be immediately locally available to combat the Ebola outbreak if it shows effectiveness against Ebola Bundibugyo in patients.NNVC closed Wednesday's trading at $1.75, up 15.89%.
