Measles program moves toward clinical trials
The company reported 2,903 confirmed U.S. Measles cases as of August 27, versus 2,289 in all of 2025, and said it was preparing NV-387 for Measles clinical trials. Read the update [i]
Clinical-Stage Antiviral Drug Development Company
NNVC states: When vaccines fail…when viruses mutate into variants… NanoViricides can conquer!
The NanoViricides story has moved quickly in 2026. NV-387 now has FDA Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease Drug designations for Measles, while ACOREP has approved Phase II clinical trials in the DRC for Ebola and MPox. NV-387 Oral Gummies are already in the DRC Principal Investigators assigned, staff trained and trial sites prepared, and the company said first dosing is expected within weeks in its August 18, 2026 update. The drug is designed to act directly on virus particles through a host-mimetic "Bind-Encapsulate-Destroy" mechanism that is effective even against variants. Noble Capital Markets initiated coverage with an Outperform rating and a $6.00 target; Zacks Small-Cap Research has a $7.00 target. [i] [ii] [iii] [x] [xii] [xiii] [xv]
A rising Measles treatment need, an approved Ebola study moving toward first dosing, NV-387 already in the DRC, and a second FDA designation for the Measles program.

Professor Patrick Katoto was appointed principal investigator, while staff training and site preparations continued. The company said first dosing was expected within weeks, subject to conditions on the ground. Read the update [ii]
ACOREP approved a Phase II study of NV-387 Oral Gummies for the current Bundibugyo Ebolavirus and other Ebola viruses. The clinical drug product was already available in the DRC. Read the update [iii]
The FDA granted Rare Pediatric Disease Drug Designation for NV-387 as a Measles treatment. A Priority Review Voucher would be possible only after approval and satisfaction of all applicable program conditions. Read the update [x]
Follow the shorter progress trail: Jun 22 - drug shipped | Jul 6 - Ebola program advances | Jul 8 - Noble coverage | Jul 13 - ethics approval | Jul 22 - ACOREP filing | Jul 24 - offering priced | Jul 28 - financing update [xi] [ix] [viii] [vii] [vi] [v] [iv]
A lot changed for NanoViricides in a short period. The company moved NV-387 from regulatory preparation to approved Phase II programs for Ebola and MPox in the DRC, while adding a FDA designation for Measles that could lead to significantly valuable Priority Review Vouchers upon commercialization. [iii] [x]
That shift matters because investors can now follow concrete operating milestones instead of a platform story alone. The drug is in the DRC, the Principal Investigators for the MPOX and Ebola Phase II trials haves been appointed, the Trial sites have been prepared trial teams have been trained and dosing is imminent. [ii]
The questions to watch is concrete: will the successful Phase 1 clinicals safety profile of lead drug NV-387 translate into meaningful Phase II clinical results? The answers should do much to shape the NNVC story and deliver a key inflection point in the company’s valuation.
The near-term mission is straightforward: text NV-387 where treatment options are limited and develop one broad-spectrum candidate that could serve more than one outbreak. That has resulted in Phase II clinical trials in the DRC for Ebola and MPox, alongside clinical planning for Measles after the FDA's Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease Drug designations. [iii] [x] [xi]
NV-387 remains the lead story. Earlier work in RSV, Influenza, COVID-19 and other viruses supports the platform's breadth, while the separate NV-HHV-1 program is aimed at Shingles and other Herpes-family infections. [xvi]
The latest releases bring the development plan into sharper focus:
ACOREP has approved the Phase II MPox study in the DRC, and NV-387 Oral Gummies were shipped there on June 22, 2026. [xi]
FDA Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease Drug designations support the U.S. development path, while the company prepares for clinical trials. [i] [x]
ACOREP approved the Phase II study on August 10. A principal investigator is in place, site work is underway, and first dosing was expected within weeks as of August 18, subject to operating conditions. [ii] [iii]
The common starting point is NV-387's Phase I study, which was completed in 2023. The company reported no adverse events and favorable tolerability. [xiv]

NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American: NNVC) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing host-mimetic antiviral medicines. Its nanoviricide platform is designed to bind to virus particles, wrap around them and destabilize them before they infect healthy cells. [xv]
Host-mimetic targeting is designed to engage viral binding surfaces.
The platform is designed to wrap around the virus particle.
Destabilization is intended to stop the virus before healthy-cell infection.

NV-387 is the lead candidate, with approved Phase II programs for Ebola and MPox and FDA designations supporting its Measles development program. A separate candidate, NV-HHV-1, is being developed for Shingles, Cold Sores and Genital Ulcers within the HerpeCide program. [iii] [x] [xvi]
The company also owns a cGMP-capable, multi-product facility in Shelton, Connecticut. That gives it direct control over clinical supply, manufacturing quality and important process know-how as its programs advance. [xvii]
The figures below show the company's host-mimetic approach, lead programs, manufacturing capability and Phase I experience. Together, they explain the platform more quickly than another page of promotional copy. [xv]

A Nanoviricide Attacking a Virus Particle
Resources: Technology | Presentation | Analyst research | Company fact sheet | Latest NNVC news



The company estimates that the known markets addressed by NV-387 - including RSV, Influenza, COVID/long COVID, MPox/Smallpox, Measles and Ebola - exceeded $11 billion in 2025. It also describes a potential market above $20 billion if NV-387 is eventually approved for empiric treatment of acute viral respiratory infections. [xviii]
Those estimates help show the scale of the opportunity, but the nearer-term investment case is simpler: can one oral candidate move from Phase I safety into useful clinical evidence across more than one serious viral disease?
ACOREP has approved NV-387 Oral Gummies studies for Ebola and MPox in the DRC. [iii]
The Phase I program was completed with no reported adverse events and favorable tolerability. [xiv]
Clinical product was shipped for the MPox study and is available as the Ebola team prepares for first dosing. [ii] [xi]
NV-387 has both Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease Drug designations for this indication. [x]
The host-mimetic design is intended to attack shared viral entry mechanisms rather than a single strain alone. [xv]
NanoViricides owns a cGMP-capable facility in Connecticut, completed an approximately $3.8 million financing, and has new analyst coverage from Noble Capital Markets. [v] [xii]
