Island Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX:ILA) is an antiviral therapeutics company targeting infectious diseases.
As detailed in our previous note, the unfortunate Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak currently in Africa has provided an opportunity for ILA to provide compassionate use of its drug Galidesivir as a treatment for infected patients, noting that no approved treatment currently exists for this particular strain of Ebola.
This effectively provides a second pathway for Galidesivir to potentially be approved by the FDA, given that real-world clinical deployment allows for the opportunity to generate prospective human efficacy, safety and virological data.
