Item 8.01. Other Events.
On July 10, 2024, Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), issued a press release announcing positive results for a Swine Model pilot study for Probudur, the Company’s long-acting liposomal bupivacaine formulation. The pharmacokinetics (“PK”) and safety study of Probudur in the Swine Model was designed to determine the PK profile of Probudur as well as to ascertain any adverse effects on the pigs. Probudur was subcutaneously injected into 4 juvenile domestic pigs at a dose of 30 mg/kg and was well-tolerated by all of the pigs and demonstrated a long-term, slow-release profile. Histopathology was also conducted at the injection site and Probudur was well-tolerated by all pigs in this study.
A copy of the Company’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
