NanoViricides Awaits Approval from DR Congo Regulatory Agency for a Phase II Clinical Trial of NV-387 Oral Gummies as a Treatment for Ebola, Financing Completed to Support the Trial

SHELTON, CT / ACCESS Newswire / July 28, 2026 / NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American:NNVC) (the "Company"), a clinical stage leader developing antiviral drugs that viruses cannot escape, announces that it is eagerly awaiting regulatory approval to begin a Phase II Clinical Trial of NV-387 Oral Gummies, after having filed an application to the local regulatory agency ACOREP, as a Treatment for the Current Bundibugyo Ebolavirus in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Company explains that it has already raised the financing to support this clinical trial.

"The financing we closed yesterday is sufficient to support the additional expenses from the anticipated Ebola clinical trial of NV-387 Oral Gummies," said Anil R, Diwan, PhD, adding, "This rapidly growing Ebola outbreak requires a new orally acting drug to help patients and to control further spread from infected persons. Infusion drugs are simply not up to the task, as is well known."

NV-387 is the only orally active agent under consideration for clinical trial as a treatment of Ebola to the best of our knowledge. In an epidemic scenario in resource limited settings such as in DRC, we believe an oral drug is a highly advantageous feature.
