has received permission from the Indian drug regulator
To Manufacture and Market Favipiravir in India for treatment of Mild to Moderate COVID-19*
*Under the Accelerated Approval Process

Favipiravir – Accelerated Approval Process
- Accelerated approval process takes into account the disease severity, rarity, and the availability or lack of alternative treatment.
- Glenmark has received approval to manufacture and market Favipiravir in India for mild to moderate COVID-19 cases.
- Emergency Use Authorization is a provision that allows countries to use drugs urgently needed in an emergency situation or healthcare crisis. (COVID-19 pandemic)
- "Emergency" here does not refer to patients in an emergency status of the disease, but refers to the emergency pandemic situation prevalent in the country and the need for effective and timely treatment.
- Restricted use entails "responsible medication" use where every patient must have signed informed consent before treatment initiation


An important step for
Oral Treatment of Mild to Moderate COVID-19*
*Under the Accelerated Approval Process

Favipiravir – Mechanism of Action
- Favipiravir is incorporated into cells and converted to favipiravir ribofuranosyl-5′-triphosphate (favipiravir-RTP) by host cells.
- Favipiravir-RTP, inhibits the activity of RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of SARS CoV2.
- The inhibition of RdRp leads to inhibition of the viral replication.


Starting early is the key…
Favipiravir – Starting early is a key in COV
Early stages – Mild and Moderate Later stages- Severe and Critical

- High rate of viral replication
- Can be controlled with early use of Antiviral drugs
- Limited immune response mediated damage - Immune response subsides quickly

- Viral replication slows down
- Body's violent immune response drives disease leading to complications and organ failure
- Diminishing effects of Antiviral drugs
- Higher dependence on other drugs and ventilators for survival

Contraindications:
- The drug is contraindicated in patients with severe renal, hepatic impairment, pregnant & lactating women.
- The drug is contraindicated in patients with history of hypersensitivity to Favipiravir.
Cautions:
• The drug should be used with caution in patient with history of abnormalities in metabolism of uric acid or having Gout.
Favipiravir and Umifenovir Combination – An update
- COVID-19 patients show high viral load at time of symptom onset suggests treating with combination of antiviral drugs- highly effective and minimize the emergence of resistance.
- In line with this strategy, Glenmark proposes to combine two anti-viral drugs Favipiravir (Approved drug for novel flu pandemics) with Umifenovir (Approved drug for Influenza) – safety well established.
- Both drugs acting on different mechanisms the combined use of Favipiravir and Umifenovir offers a comprehensive antiviral cover on pre-entry and post-entry life-cycle of SARS-CoV-2 virus.



• Umifenovir: Interaction with viral attachment, fusion with infected cell
