Redhill Biopharma's entire product portfolio is dedicated to treating serious diseases, including H. pylori infection, severe COVID-19, Crohn's disease, and various cancers, demonstrating revolutionary health benefits. Talicia, for instance, achieved 83.8% eradication rates for H. pylori in the ITT population, which is linked to a ~75% decreased risk of gastric cancer.

Opaganib showed a 70.2% mortality benefit and 34% faster recovery in hospitalized severe COVID-19 patients.

RHB-107 demonstrated a 100% reduction in hospitalization and an 87.8% reduction in severe symptoms in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Kind to Animals
-40
The company utilizes in vitro studies for specific purposes such as viral inhibition and potency, demonstrating some use of non-animal methods.
1
However, it heavily relies on in vivo (animal) studies for drug development, particularly for efficacy under the FDA Animal Rule. The company's policy explicitly leverages the FDA Animal Rule, which allows for pivotal animal model efficacy studies when human trials are not ethical or feasible.
2
This rule is being used for the development of opaganib as a medical countermeasure for conditions like Acute Radiation Syndrome and phosgene inhalation injury.

The company has conducted eight U.S. government-funded preclinical in vivo studies and multiple additional in vivo studies, indicating a significant volume of animal testing.

These products are considered dual-use technology, with collaborations with entities like the U.S. Army and BARDA for countermeasure development.
