On Thursday, the promising findings of the first clinical trial of his new treatment were released in the Lancet Medical Journal.
The patient, a 45-year-old woman in Vienna who was on a ventilator due to severe COVID-19 symptoms, showed improvement shortly after receiving the drug known as APN01.
“In one or two days, the virus disappeared in her blood system and also in her lungs,” Penninger told Global News. “Secondly, the cytokine storm went down within two to three days. She developed perfect immunity from the virus.”
“She is now back home and healthy.”
A cytokine storm is an overreaction of the body’s immune system, which can be fatal if someone has COVID-19.
Study recruitment is still underway around the world, with the hope that the results from 200 other severe cases of COVID-19 patients will be published by November.
If all goes well, Penninger said there could be a drug ready for market by early next year.
