SOFTOX $SOFTX HAS COMPLETED ENROLMENT INTO #SWIS STUDY
SOFTOX HAS COMPLETED ENROLMENT OF SOFTOX WOUND IRRIGATION SOLUTION CONFIRMATORY STUDY (SWIS-02)
SoftOx Solutions AS ("SoftOx") is pleased to announce that the enrolment of
study participants for the clinical investigation «SWIS-02» has been completed.
The study, which has been conducted at Bispebjerg University Hospital is a
confirmatory clinical investigation to document safety and performance of SoftOx
Wound Irrigation Solution ("SWIS") compared to Normal Saline (NS) in a human
wound model. It is a confirmative study and last of two clinical studies on "SWIS".
We are very pleased to have completed this enrolment because of the ongoing
lockdown in Denmark, which were affecting our recruitment pace. "With this
pivotal trial we are eagerly looking forward to examining and analyse the study
data and report on the results later in Q2-2021", says Glenn Gundersen, Medical
Director of SoftOx.
SWIS is under development to become a medical device intended for wound rinsing
and moistening to prevent infections in all types of acute wounds, such as
abrasions, cuts, burns and surgical wounds.

The project is a research and development collaboration between SoftOx Solutions AS and leading US and European wound care clinics, focusing on chronic wounds and biofilm infections. The project represents an innovative treatment principle in how to prevent and treat biofilm infections in wounds. The grant will contribute to perform clinical investigations to evaluate the SoftOx technology in humans with serious non-healing wounds.
The award was issued on behalf of the Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC) under Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) a biomedical technology consortium that collaborates under a transaction agreement (OTA) with the US Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC). The award issued is entitled “Clinical Development of a New Antimicrobial Agent to Treat and Prevent Biofilm Formation in Wounds”.

#SoftOx closer to a possible breakthrough against #covid19The Danish Medicines Agency has given its recommendation for further development of the SoftOx inhalation solution for the treatment of respiratory infections, including COVID-19.
The SoftOx Inhalation Project aims to develop an inhalation solution for the treatment of respiratory infections. This has the potential to be a breakthrough in the treatment of respiratory infections including Covid-19 infections. Following a scientific advisory meeting with the Danish Medicines Agency, a favorable development path has been suggested to be able to start testing in humans as soon as possible.
- It is now expected that the first studies in humans can start as early as the second quarter of 2021. SoftOx will therefore immediately start preparations to provide the necessary documentation that involves further safety studies in animal models, says Geir Almås, CEO of SoftOx Solutions.
- The need for new solutions treating respiratory tract infections is significant, this is a market which with conservative estimates for the EU and the US is approximately 12 billion USD. The number can probably be doubled looking in a global perspective, continue Almås.
This technology is unique, it is simple, exceptionally effective and does not trigger resistance. The effect is also independent of possible new mutated variants, as recently reported for the Corona virus.
- My team and I believe that we are facing a breakthrough in the treatment of difficult infections, both viral and bacterial. We have tested SoftOx solutions in the respiratory tract and we see that this can be an important treatment principle that can help fight the ongoing pandemic and future epidemics and pandemics ", says Professor of Microbiology and trial leader Thomas Bjarnsholt at the University of Copenhagen.
