What happened
Valion Bio, Inc. announced that the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute will evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of its drug, Entolimod.

This therapeutic study is fully funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Top-line results are expected in early December.
Why it matters
