[ad_1]
• 3CL Pharma preparing crowdfunding to fund Tollovir EUA filing in hospitalized COVID patients and Tollovir, Tollovid and TolloTest clinical development for Long COVID
• Funding also to be used to support US national marketing campaign for Tollovid sales
New York, NY, and Tel Aviv, ISRAEL – (NewMediaWire) – September 12, 2022 – Todos Medical, Ltd. (OTCQB: TOMDF), a comprehensive medical diagnostics and related solutions company, today announced that it signed an amendment to its agreement with its 3CL protease biology theranostics partner NLC Pharma, Ltd. As a consequence, NLC Pharma has assigned ownership of all relevant intellectual property to majority-owned joint venture 3CL Pharma Ltd. The assignment includes the patent applications for dual mechanism (3CL protease inhibitor and CCR5 antagonist) Phase 2 therapeutic drug candidate Tollovir™, commercial-stage 3CL protease inhibitor immune support supplement Tollovid™, and 3CL protease biomarker test TolloTest™ for SARS-CoV-2 infectivity monitoring and PASC/Long COVID viral persistence assessment (“The IP”). 3CL Pharma Ltd. is now preparing to launch a crowdfunding campaign to fund the necessary requirements for an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) submission to the US FDA for Tollovir in the treatment of hospitalized (severe/critical) COVID-19 patients, the clinical development of Tollovir, Tollovid and TolloTest in Long COVID, as well as a national marketing campaign for Tollovid to support US sales. Todos is targeting a crowdfunding launch ahead of October 6th, 2022 in alignment with the FDA’s Adcom meeting for Veru, Inc.’s sabizabulin which is another COVID-19 drug seeking approval in the hospitalized setting.
“We are extremely pleased to have completed this key milestone in our joint venture with NLC Pharma allowing us to finalize preparations for the 3CL Pharma crowdfunding campaign that we have been planning for several months,” said Gerald E. Commissiong, President & CEO of Todos Medical and Interim-CEO of 3CL Pharma. “Todos has been funding the incredible work of Dr. Arad who has been leading a team from both Todos and NLC working together to achieve key milestones for Tollovir, Tollovid and TolloTest. With The IP now formally in 3CL Pharma, we can now open up the opportunity to directly invest into that entity that recently received a $1.9 billion dollar valuation from a third-party IP firm primarily based upon the value of the Tollovir therapeutic program. Additionally, this empowers investors with a vehicle that can capture the essence of a pure play opportunity in 3CL protease inhibition. The 3CL protease market is dominated by Pfizer’s COVID-19 drug which is expected to do $22 billion this year. All-natural 3CL protease inhibitors like Tollovid offer consumers an all-natural versus chemical option and the ability to have 3CL protease inhibition sitting in their medicine cabinet today. Given that Tollovid is a commercial product with an extremely loyal customer base, we believe we are uniquely positioned to drive crowdfunding interest that will allow us to fund all of 3CL Pharma’s strategic initiatives. The timing of our initiatives aligns with another potential approval of a COVID-19 therapeutic in the hospitalized setting. Until death is taken off the table people will be asking what’s next, and we believe Tollovir will be the next therapeutic in the hospitalized setting.”
“We are proud of the lifesaving products that we have developed and very much appreciate the efforts of Todos Medical’s team contribution to bring us to where we are today, and consistently pushing us forward,” said Dr. Dorit Arad, Founder and Chief Technology Officer at NLC Pharma and 3CL Pharma. “Assigning the IP to 3CL Pharma is a crucial step to enable building the appropriate corporate infrastructure to raise funds for the 3CL. We believe that funding will accelerate the introduction of our products reaching patients at scale so that we can have a significant impact for COVID and Long COVID patients.”
Harvard economist David Cutler recently revised the estimated cost of Long COVID to the US economy to be $3.7 trillion. Dr. Cutler notes on his website: “Data suggest that 22-38% of people with COVID will have at least one symptom 12 weeks after initial onset, and 12-17% will have three or more symptoms. With 80.5 million confirmed COVID cases in the United States, this implies at least 9.6 million people with three or more symptoms of long COVID. The most common symptom of long COVID is fatigue, but every organ system has been implicated.”

About Tollovir™
Tollovir is an oral 3CL protease inhibitor and anti-cytokine therapeutic candidate targeting the Nidovirus group of viruses that includes coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-1, MERS and 229E. Tollovir is made from all natural ingredients that are qualified to ensure strong inhibition of the 3CL protease in vitro, as well as strong anti-cytokine activity. Tollovir has successfully completed a Phase 2 clinical trial in Israel for the treatment of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Tollovir will be developed for the treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 (severe and critical), moderate COVID-19, Long COVID and, potentially, pediatric 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 examines 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, Long COVID Panel analyses, and Provista’s proprietary commercial-stage Videssa® breast cancer blood test. More information on Provista is available at www.provistadx.com.
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 formed the Israeli-based majority-owned joint venture 3CL Pharma, Ltd with NLC Pharma in March of 2022 to consolidate all of the intellectual property surrounding 3CL protease–based diagnostic testing and development of 3CL protease botanical and pharmaceutical inhibitors that target a fundamental reproductive mechanism of coronaviruses. 3CL Pharma, through Todos’ brand, has commercialized the 3CL protease inhibitor immune support dietary supplement Tollovid™in the United States, is developing the dual mechanism 3CL protease inhibitor and anti-cytokine therapeutic drug candidate Tollovir™, while also developing the 3CL protease diagnostic TolloTest™.
