08:36 Tuesday, September 14, 2021 (RTTNews.com) - RedHill Biopharma Ltd. (RDHL) reported preliminary top-line data from phase 2/3 study with opaganib in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Preliminary top-line data showed that the study did not meet primary endpoint. Top-line safety data showed good tolerability of opaganib.

RedHill plans to discuss the data with regulators, including FDA and foreign regulators, to help determine next steps.
