Mountain Valley MD $MVMD.ca $MVMDF Contracts Tulane University for Adjuvant IPV Study $CTLT $MRNA $NVAX

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:53 AM on Tuesday, February 2nd, 2021
  • Tulane University contracted as Research Organization to conduct its adjuvant Inactivated Polio Vaccine (“IPV“) study
  • Study will evaluate the ability of MVMD to promote dose-sparing, and therefore lower costs

Mountain Valley MD Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “MVMD“) (CSE: MVMD) (FRA: 20MP) is pleased to announce it has contracted Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, as its Contract Research Organization (“CRO“) to conduct its adjuvant Inactivated Polio Vaccine (“IPV“) study, commencing in February, 2021.

As announced in its recent news release on January 20, 2021, the Company filed a POROUS ALUMINUM NANO-STRUCTURED ADJUVANT (“PANA“) patent to support its advanced vaccine dose sparing work and began immediately to undertake the study development and contracting of a qualified CRO.  The study will compare existing Alhydrogel adjuvant to the Company’s recently invented stable nano-particulate adjuvant by both intramuscular injection and intradermal injection immunization, evaluating the antibody responses following vaccination with fractional doses of IPV comparing delivery types with IPV alone or adjuvanted.

The study is anticipated to take sixty-days and will be led by Dr. Elizabeth Norton, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Tulane University School of Medicine.  Dr. Norton’s research focus is mucosal immunity and immunologic mechanisms of vaccination, with a particular concentration on how infection or vaccination can target specific cell populations involved in antigen transport and processing, enhance Th17 cell development and induce IgA production.

Dr. Norton was supported by the Company’s key scientific advisor, Dr. John Clements in the development and design of the adjuvant IPV study that would effectively determine the exact dose sparing achievement of its patent-pending approach.  Dr. Clements is Emeritus Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Tulane University School of Medicine and has over 35 years of experience in vaccine, immunology and infectious diseases research and development, with a distinguished scientific career focused on developing and evaluating vaccines for a wide range of infectious diseases globally.

“Our study will evaluate the ability of MVMD’s new porous aluminum nanostructures to adjuvant injected IPV, promote dose-sparing, and therefore lower costs, and facilitate mucosal and herd immunity when compared to IPV,” stated Dr. John Clements, MVMD scientific advisor and Emeritus Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Tulane University School of Medicine. “Successful completion of these studies and subsequent human clinical studies could further demonstrate the potential of Mountain Valley MD’s porous aluminum nanostructures as an adjuvant in a modified IPV vaccine strategy and thereby take a major step toward achieving the global eradication of polio.”

Mountain Valley MD $MVMD.ca Proceeding With COVID-19 Clearance Trial in Level 4 Biohazard Facility $CTLT $MRNA $NVAX

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:11 AM on Wednesday, January 27th, 2021
  • Lab study to demonstrate solubility technology applied to the Ivermectin drug can be applied as a broad therapeutic to immediately treat COVID-19
  • Commencing lab trial in late February 2021, with results anticipated in April 2021.

Mountain Valley MD Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “MVMD“) (CSE: MVMD) (FRA: 20MP) is pleased to announce it has executed an agreement to conduct its Bio Safety Level 4 (“BSL-4”) lab study of COVID-19 viral clearance in transgenic mice designed to prove the superiority of the Company’s solubilized Ivermectin technology versus commercially available oral form in speed and efficacy of viral clearance.  The agreement was signed January 26, 2021.

“This is a very significant project for MVMD and it will clearly demonstrate how our solubility technology applied to the Ivermectin drug can be applied as a broad therapeutic to immediately treat COVID-19, as well as its role in stopping the deadly spread of future pandemics that are certain to follow,” stated Dennis Hancock, President and CEO of Mountain Valley MD.  “Quicksol™ allows us to imagine a world’s first as an injectable Ivermectin format for emergency front line usage as well as a rapid dissolve tablet that is administered for prevention like vitamin C around the world.”

There are less than thirty BSL-4 facilities in the world capable of performing this study and it is not unusual for projects to take up to three years to schedule.  The Company was able to demonstrate the significance of its patented solubilized Ivermectin technology through its presentation of the superior pharmacokinetic data documented from two previously completed pre-clinical trials and was granted approval by the BSL-4 facility to commence this trial in late February 2021.  The study results are anticipated in April 2021.

This study will be the first of its kind ever conducted with human grade solubilized Ivermectin anywhere in the world and its design was led by the Company’s key scientific advisor, Dr. John Clements.  Dr. Clements is Emeritus Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Tulane University School of Medicine and has over 35 years of experience in vaccine, immunology and infectious diseases research and development, with a distinguished scientific career focused on developing and evaluating vaccines for a wide range of infectious diseases globally.

VIDEO – Mountain Valley MD $MVMD.ca Patent Filing Creates New Global Delivery And Patient Delivery Model That Can Eradicate Polio From The World …. Then Other Viruses $CTLT $MRNA $NVAX

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:55 PM on Wednesday, January 20th, 2021

Let us start off by saying this interview may be the best one we’ve done in the last 10 years.  Here is why.

When Mountain Valley MD issued this press release today, you wouldn’t be alone if you declared “I really don’t know what that means”.  The fact of the matter is that MVMD is a double-edged sword that puts it in a position to quite potentially change the way the world delivers drugs and vaccines via physical transport and into the body of patients who need them most.  The flip-side of creating something so cutting edge is that it makes it very difficult to understand for anybody without a Life Sciences PhD.

Fortunately, this is where AGORACOM comes in to bridge the worlds between MVMD and the investment community.  To do that, the first thing you have to understand is the following:

MVMD Takes Existing Vaccines and Drugs – And Delivers Them Better.  Both Into The Body and By Transportation To The World. Way Better.

For the purposes of introducing you to MVMD, we’ll use vaccines as an example given the state of the world since COVID-19 arrived.  Specifically, we’ve all heard more about vaccines in 12 months than we have in the last 12 years.  One thing we all know about vaccines is that vaccination is the safest way to protect people against infectious diseases.

BUT 

One thing we don’t know or understand about vaccinations is that they are only as good as:

1.  The global physical delivery system that actually gets them from the manufacturer to the hands of nurse who injects the vaccine;

2.  The delivery system into your body (i.e. injection)

If either parts of these delivery systems are weak, or even fail, a vaccine loses some or even all of its potency – and that’s not good.

This is where MVMD comes in.  They don’t make vaccines, drugs or pharmaceuticals.

What they do is make their delivery better.  Their physical delivery until their ultimate delivery into your body – and that is very good.

By doing so, they help save lives and they help manufacturers be more profitable – and that is very good for humanity and shareholders.

CAN MVMD CREATE A WORLD WITHOUT POLIO … AND THEN OTHER VIRUSES? THEY JUST MIGHT

With the information above in mind, you can now start to get a sense of the power of this quote from MVMD CEO, Dennis Hancock:

“Using a fraction of the Inactivated Polio Vaccine, applying advanced Quicksome™ thin film inside a vial that can be distributed completely outside of the cold chain, and administering through needleless applications is the formula to help us achieve our vision of a world without Polio“. 

If you want to find out what is possible, watch this powerful, eye-opening and sometimes emotional interview with CEO Dennis Hancock and Director of Life Sciences Mike Farber.

The COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel’s Statement on the Use of Ivermectin for the Treatment of COVID-19 SPONSOR: Mountain Valley MD $MVMD.ca $CTLT $MRNA $NVAX

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:53 PM on Friday, January 15th, 2021

SPONSOR: Mountain Valley MD has confirmed the ability to make the drug ivermectin water-soluble without the use of organic solvents, greatly increasing the potential applications for treatment. MVMD has Improved ivermectin’s water solubility by nearly 5000 times more than current solubility  Click Here for More Info

  • The NIH has upgraded their recommendation and now consider IVERMECTIN an option for use! The national Institute of Health

Recommendation

  • The COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel (the Panel) has determined that currently there are insufficient data to recommend either for or against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19. Results from adequately powered, well-designed, and well-conducted clinical trials are needed to provide more specific, evidence-based guidance on the role of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19.

Rationale

Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of onchocerciasis and strongyloidiasis. Ivermectin is not FDA-approved for the treatment of any viral infection. In general, the drug is well tolerated. It is currently being evaluated as a potential treatment for COVID-19.

Antiviral and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Ivermectin

Reports from in vitro studies suggest that ivermectin acts by inhibiting the host importin alfa/beta-1 nuclear transport proteins, which are part of a key intracellular transport process that viruses hijack to enhance infection by suppressing the host antiviral response.1,2 In addition, ivermectin docking in vitro may interfere with the attachment of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein to the human cell membrane.3

Ivermectin has been shown to inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in cell culture. However, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies suggest that ivermectin doses up to 100-fold higher than those approved for use in humans would be required to achieve the plasma concentrations necessary to duplicate the drug’s antiviral efficacy in vitro.4,5 Even though ivermectin appears to accumulate in lung tissue, with the doses used in most clinical trials, predicted systemic plasma and lung tissue concentrations are much lower than 2 µM, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.6,7

Ivermectin demonstrates potential anti-inflammatory properties in some in vitro studies,8,9 properties which have been postulated to be beneficial in the treatment of COVID-19.10

Clinical Data

Since the last revision of the Ivermectin section of the Guidelines, the results of several randomized trials and retrospective cohort studies of ivermectin use in patients with COVID-19 have been published in peer-reviewed journals or made available as preliminary, non-peer-reviewed reports. Some clinical studies showed no benefits or worsening of disease after ivermectin use,11-14 whereas others reported shorter time to resolution of disease manifestations attributed to COVID-19,15-18 greater reduction in inflammatory markers,16,17 shorter time to viral clearance,11,16 or lower mortality rates in patients who received ivermectin than in patients who received comparator drugs or placebo.11,16,18

However, most of the studies reported to date had incomplete information and significant methodological limitations, which make it difficult to exclude common causes of bias. The missing information and limitations include the following:

  • The sample size of most of the trials was small.
  • Various doses and schedules of ivermectin were used.
  • Some of the randomized controlled trials were open-label studies in which neither the participants nor the investigators were blinded to the treatment arms.
  • In addition to ivermectin or the comparator drug, patients also received various concomitant medications (e.g., doxycycline, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, zinc, corticosteroids), confounding assessment of the true efficacy or safety of ivermectin.
  • The severity of COVID-19 in the study participants was not always well described.
  • The study outcome measures were not always clearly defined.

Because of these limitations, the Panel cannot draw definitive conclusions about the clinical efficacy or safety of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19. Results from adequately powered, well-designed, and well-conducted clinical trials are needed to provide more specific, evidence-based guidance on the role of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19.

VIDEO – Mountain Valley MD $MVMD.ca Catches Small Cap Fire After #Ivermectin Testimony In US Senate Called “Miraculous Effectiveness” In Prohibiting Transmission Of #COVID-19

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:19 PM on Monday, December 14th, 2020

“It basically obliterates transmission of this virus”  

This was the testimony of  Pierre Kory, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine at St. Luke’s Aurora Medical Center, delivers passionate testimony during the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on “Early Outpatient Treatment: An Essential Part of a COVID-19 Solution, Part II.”

We interviewed Leigh Hughes, newly appointed Advisor to MVMD who will be supporting the Company in the areas of M&A, corporate finance and pharmaceutical licensing, to provide us with further insight as to why the testimony of Dr. Kory is so relevant to MVMD … and why Dr. Kory actually called MVMD last week to discuss the Company’s involvement with Ivermectin.

Mountain Valley MD has traded over 50,000,000 shares in the last 3 trading days, so there is a clear need for information amongst retail investors.
