Frankfurt With two new developments from the biotech industry in the approval process at the US drug agency FDA, new therapy options for seriously ill Covid patients are emerging for the first time in almost two years. Both active ingredients showed survival advantages for Covid patients in clinical studies, but at the same time are subject to certain uncertainties as far as the validity of the data is concerned.

On the other hand, it is about the drug vilobelimab, for which the German biotech company Inflarx also applied for emergency approval from the FDA a few days ago.
