InflaRx Shares Plunge After Disappointing Results On Vilobelimab In Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients

  • InflaRx N.V. (NASDAQ:IFRXannounced topline data from Phase 3 part of Phase 2/3 PANAMO study of vilobelimab in critically ill COVID-19 patients.
  • Vilobelimab in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients showed a relative reduction in 28-day all-cause mortality of 23.9% (vilobelimab 31.7% versus placebo 41.6%), which was not statistically significant (p=0.094). 
  • At the recommendation of regulatory authorities, during the trial, the Company changed the statistical analysis method for the primary endpoint. 
  • The original protocol specified a non-stratified Cox regression analysis that would have resulted in a p-value of 0.027 (statistically significant), the Company said.
