Todos Medical Announces 2nd Clinical Trial Site for Tollovir Phase 2 Clinical Trial for the Treatment of Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients

§  Interim Clinical Trial Data from Phase 2 expected in Q4/21

§  Nature Neuroscience and Cell Reports publications highlight 3CLpro (Mpro)’s complementary mechanisms of virus replication and immune suppression

New York, NY, and Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - (NewMediaWire) - November 1, 2021 - Todos Medical, Ltd. (OTCQB: TOMDF), a comprehensive medical diagnostics and theranostic solutions company, today announced it is  now  adding the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center as the 2nd clinical trial site in Hadera, Israel for its ongoing Tollovir® Phase 2 randomized, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial for the treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Tollovir is an oral 3CL Protease (3CLpro, Main Protease, MPro, Nsp5) antiviral/anti-cytokine therapeutic candidate focused on blocking the 3CL Protease. The Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel was the first site opened in April 2021 having enrolled 30 patients to date. An independent review of interim safety and efficacy data by the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) of the randomized trial data collected is expected in Q4/2021 that will guide the next steps in the program’s development path towards the therapeutic treatment of COVID-19.

“We believe the addition of a 2nd clinical trial site will accelerate enrollment in our ongoing Phase 2 randomized trial and also expand Tollovir’s clinical footprint,” said Gerald Commissiong, President & CEO of Todos Medical. “The upcoming data analysis is quite significant as it will guide the next steps in our clinical development pathway as we look at the potential use of Tollovir beyond hospitalized patients and potentially evaluating its efficacy in Moderate COVID (pre-hospital) and Long COVID in the future.”

“The recent functional validation of our 3CLpro long ongoing research by two independent groups with publications on 3CLpro in Nature Neuroscience and Cell Reports really provides strong support for the clinical outcomes we have seen in Israel since the pandemic began,” said Dr. Dorit Arad, Chief Scientific Officer of NLC Pharma, the Company’s 3CL protease therapeutic and diagnostics joint venture partner. “We are now evaluating the clinical development implications of these findings on our upcoming Tollovir Phase 2 interim analysis, as well as proposed programs in Moderate COVID and Long Haul trial, as well as looking at pediatric populations who have very few options at the moment. Given that Tollovir is well tolerated, we see the potential to help children suffering from COVID-19.”

About Todos Medical Ltd.

Founded in Rehovot, Israel with offices in New York City, Todos Medical Ltd. (OTCQB: TOMDF) engineers life-saving diagnostic solutions for the early detection of a variety of cancers. The Company's state-of-the-art and patented Todos Biochemical Infrared Analyses (TBIA) is a proprietary cancer-screening technology using peripheral blood analysis that deploys deep examination into cancer's influence on the immune system, looking for biochemical changes in blood mononuclear cells and plasma. Todos' two internally-developed cancer-screening tests, TMB-1 and TMB-2, have received a CE mark in Europe. Todos recently acquired U.S.-based medical diagnostics company Provista Diagnostics, Inc. to gain rights to its Alpharetta, Georgia-based CLIA/CAP certified lab currently performing PCR COVID testing and Provista's proprietary commercial-stage Videssa® breast cancer blood test. 

Todos is also developing blood tests for the early detection of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. The Lymphocyte Proliferation Test (LymPro Test™) is a diagnostic blood test that determines the ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and monocytes to withstand an exogenous mitogenic stimulation that induces them to enter the cell cycle. It is believed that certain diseases, most notably Alzheimer's disease, are the result of compromised cellular machinery that leads to aberrant cell cycle re-entry by neurons, which then leads to apoptosis. LymPro is unique in the use of peripheral blood lymphocytes as a surrogate for neuronal cell function, suggesting a common relationship between PBLs and neurons in the brain. 

Todos has entered into distribution agreements with companies to distribute certain novel coronavirus (COVID-19) test kits. The agreements cover multiple international suppliers of PCR testing kits and related materials and supplies, as well as antibody testing kits from multiple manufacturers after completing validation of said testing kits and supplies in its partner CLIA/CAP certified laboratory in the United States. Additionally, Todos has entered into a joint venture with NLC Pharma to pursue the development of diagnostic tests targeting the 3CL protease, as well as 3CL protease inhibitors that target a fundamental reproductive mechanism of coronaviruses.
