There’ve now been over 600,000 deaths globally with over 14 million cases to date. Meanwhile, former zones that supposedly flattened the curve early on are seeing some resurgence. Hong Kong, for instance added a new record COVID-19 cases with its government calling for mandatory face masks.

Though we’re likely far from an immediate vaccine, early trials are proving to be successful. Last week we saw Moderna’s Phase 1 study report positive results. Meanwhile, AstraZeneca’s vaccines showed “robust immunes responses” in all participants in a Phase 1/2 trial. With that type of news, coronavirus penny stocks have seen a jolt of momentum come into the stock market today. The biggest question is if it will continue during the rest of the month.

The company said it will enroll up to 800 patients that will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive Bucillamine 100 mg three times a day, Bucillamine 200 mg TID or placebo TID for up to 14 days. The company has also previously met with Health Canada in a Pre-Clinical Trial Application meeting.

This was, again to evaluate the potential of a clinical study of Bucillamine in the treatment of patients with mild-moderate COVID-19 due to the SARS-CoV-2 infection in Canada. Revive’s said that it intends to follow up with the submission of the complete CTA package for Health Canada around its Phase 3 study as part of the same multinational clinical strategy.
