Cocrystal Pharma Discusses Clinical Progress and Significance of Its Novel Antiviral Therapeutics Pipeline with The Stock Day Podcast

By: Newsfile

Phoenix, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - January 23, 2023) - The Stock Day Podcast welcomed Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: COCP) ("Cocrystal," "Cocrystal Pharma" or "the Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company discovering and developing novel antiviral therapeutics that target the replication process of influenza viruses, coronaviruses (including SARS-CoV-2), hepatitis C viruses and noroviruses. Cocrystal employs unique structure-based technologies and Nobel Prize-winning expertise to create first- and best-in-class antiviral drugs. Co-CEO and CFO of the Company Jim Martin joined Stock Day host Everett Jolly.

Jolly began the interview by asking about the Company's background and current projects. "Cocrystal is an antiviral therapeutic company," shared Martin. "Distinguished from a vaccine company, we seek to provide a solution to cure patients when they get sick," he continued. "We have several areas that we work on, including influenza, COVID-19, and the norovirus," said Martin. "We also have a drug discovery platform that was derived from the founders, one of whom received a Nobel Prize in antiviral therapeutics and industrialized it into what became Cocrystal."

"Could you provide us an update for the Cocrystal Pharma Phase 1 study of influenza A?" asked Jolly. "Influenza is a multi-billion dollar issue," said Martin. "What we have is an antiviral, oral therapeutic, which is being developed as a once a day pill," he said. "We just completed a Phase 1 clinical trial in Australia," shared Martin, adding that the study resulted in encouraging results and Cocrystal Pharma will be moving onto a Phase 2a study in the UK. "We will be conducting the trial this year and wrapping up by the end of the year."

"Could you also provide an update on Cocrystal Pharma's COVID-19 clinical candidate?" asked Jolly. "With COVID-19, there is currently no approved therapeutic," explained Martin. "We are going into a clinical trial this year in Australia," he shared. "We have a great team to run this trial, and we are getting started this quarter."

Jolly then asked about the Company's current financial condition, as well as their capital needs moving forward. "We are well capitalized with a very strong balance sheet, which really distinguishes us from a lot of biotech companies," said Martin. "We don't have any debt on the balance sheet," he added. "We are in a unique and strong situation, along with our pipeline to carry us forward and add value to our stockholders."

"What makes Cocrystal Pharma special?" asked Jolly. "We are an antiviral company with multi-billion dollar indications in Influenza, COVID-19, and norovirus," shared Martin. "We have been progressing these assets forward clinically," he added. "We are set up well for the future with both capital and our position with Nasdaq, as well as having no debt and no warrants on our balance sheet," said Martin, before elaborating on the Company's wealth of expertise across their advisory board and management team.

To close the interview, Martin encouraged listeners and shareholders to keep up-to-date on the Company's current and upcoming projects as they continue to advance their antiviral assets clinically in a high-demand market.
