(6)Market:Based on the data published on September 22, 2022, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has infected more than 613 million people worldwide and caused more than 6 million deaths. With the occurrence of vaccine breakthrough and repeated COVID-19 infections caused by new variants, it is anticipated that the future new variants will lead to periodic global epidemics. The coexistence of the SARS-CoV-2 and human beings seems inevitable and the broad-spectrum therapeutics against SARS- CoV-2 will be able to address the large medical needs.
- Any other matters that need to be specified:
(1)SNS812 is a broad-spectrum siRNA therapeutic against SARS-CoV-2 variants covering 99.8% of current SARS-CoV-2 variants and shown a picomolar inhibition of dominant ones, including Alpha, Delta, Gamma, Epsilon and Omicron. Moreover, the K18-hACE2-transgenic mice studies demonstrated that SNS812 could completely inhibit the replication of infectious virions in lungs by prophylactic treatment and decrease 96.2% of virions by post-treatment. It is also noted that virus-associated extensive pulmonary alveolar damage, vascular thrombi, and immune cell infiltrations have been significantly reduced by SNS812 treatment.
(2)The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to evolve. In addition to verifying SNS812 in treatment and prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection, SNS812 is positioned as a treatment solution to the periodic outbreak of life-threatening COVID-19.
(3)According to Guidelines by Taipei Exchange on the Material Information Announced by Listed and OTC Companies, new drug development companies shall make public announcement when filing application for clinical trials to domestic or overseas regulatory authorities, receiving approval or disapproval, obtaining the statistical date of endpoints in each clinical trial (including interim analysis), or receiving approval or disapproval on drug license application.
(4)It takes considerable time and expenses to develop a new drug of which success can't be guaranteed. Investors shall bear such investment risk that warrants careful assessment before making investment decisions.
