 * Thanks for posting this. We would not use the press releases as reliable sources for this information, so need to wait for peer reviewed articles or independent newspaper reports before including the supposed efficacy. In addition, this might be more suitable for this article - COVID-19 drug repurposing research - as the drug was in development already for cancer. Either way, I expect there will be more information published soon and if the press report is borne out then it should be included.
 * Currently, one review lists the trial in a table, and it has a listing on ClinicalTrials.gov. |→ Spaully ~talk~ 14:14, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
