On November 28, Youcare Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Youcare Pharmaceutical") announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Youcare Kechuang Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Youcare Kechuang"), has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical trials of its YKYY018 aerosol inhalation solution. The FDA issued a Study May Proceed Letter (IND No.: 178457), allowing the drug to proceed with clinical trials for the prevention and treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection.
RSV is a widespread and contagious enveloped RNA virus that causes respiratory diseases, particularly affecting vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Currently, there are no globally approved treatments for RSV infection, highlighting a significant and urgent unmet medical need in clinical practice.
YKYY018 aerosol inhalation solution is an internationally innovative membrane fusion inhibitor drug independently developed by Youcare Kechuang using a full-process AI platform, specifically targeting the prevention and treatment of RSV infection.
