planning....possibly...
NanoViricides (NYSEMKT: NNVC) perks up 7% premarket on light volume in reaction to its announcement that it has selected a drug candidate, dubbed NV-CoV-1-R, for the treatment of COVID-19.

The company says NV-CoV-1-R consists of a nanoviricide, NV-CoV-1 with Gilead Sciences' (NASDAQ: GILD) remdesivir encapsulated inside its core, adding that NV-CoV-1 is designed to attack the virus particles themselves and "possibly" would also attack infected cells that express a coronavirus antigen called S-protein. Normal cells, which would not display the S-protein, would be unaffected. The encapsulation of remdesivir, it claims, may protect it from rapid metabolism, increasing its stability and effectiveness.

Clinical trials are planned.

Shares are down 34% over the past six months.
