Management, it seems, can not start a fire with a box of matches.
Making some deals with a big pharma company would seem to be a good path..
This is pretty sad, gone from high hopes during first two years of covid,
and covid is still going around today, with no news about relief on the international stage or
in the US, by the management, (from what I have noticed at least).
When the stock gets back to 2 cents....I guess it'll be a buy again. looks ugly right now.

Hey Joe.......The annual incidence of ARDS is around 60 cases per 100,000 people. Approximately 2% of all patients admitted to intensive care units meet the criteria for ARDS.18.08.2023................and now we know that AVIPTADIL has already been approved in the EU ! https://www.vfa.de/de/arzneimittel-forschung/woran-wir-forschen/therapeutische-medikamente-gegen-die-coronavirusinfektion-covid-19 Here is a text from the current report of the research-based pharmaceutical industry, originally written in German ................
4. Medicines for lung function
The vital task of the lungs is to ensure the exchange of gases between the air we breathe and the blood. Seriously ill corona patients are in danger of losing their lives if this no longer works sufficiently. What is then essential for recovery is that the lungs can regenerate with functional tissue and not just scar tissue.
One of the drugs being tested for maintaining lung function contains the active ingredient Aviptadil, a synthetic version of the naturally occurring molecule VIP in humans. The Swiss company Relief Therapeutics has approval in the EU for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sarcoidosis, but has not yet brought it onto the market in Germany. The active ingredient works, among other things: anti-inflammatory and protects certain lung cells (alveolar type 2 cells) from viral attack. They are a preferred target of SARS-CoV-2 and are particularly important for maintaining lung function. Following positive laboratory data, the company NeuroRx conducted a phase II/III study with seriously ill Covid-19 patients (symptoms of severe lung failure; ventilated) in the USA with the support of Relief Therapeutics. With intravenous therapy, patients recovered more quickly from respiratory symptoms. NeuRx then applied for an Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA. A long-term study (1 year follow-up) with patients with serious previous illnesses suggested that VIP improved their survival by 60%. However, in another study with seriously ill Covid-19 patients, Aviptadil did not show any effectiveness. Relief Therapeutics has also started a phase II study with an inhalable formulation of the active ingredient together with the company AdVita Lifescience in SaarbrΓΌcken. The aim here is also to avoid acute respiratory distress syndrome in Covid-19 patients.

rollup....great work rollup...greatly appreciated, all excellent news, and a reason to remain very hopeful. 😀
selected quotes from your link.........w the Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine
"Effect of Aviptadil, a Novel Therapy, on Clinical Outcomes of Patients with Viral-related Severe ARDS:"
"Background: Dealing with life-threatening viral acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has always been challenging and with the recent COVID pandemic experience, there is still the need of newer therapies to alleviate mortality. Aviptadil, has shown significant beneficial results in COVID. We share our experience with this molecule by doing a retrospective study to evaluate the effect of this drug on clinical outcomes in viral-related ARDS patients."
"Conclusion: Aviptadil has shown to improve the clinical outcomes in patients with severe viral-related ARDS without any adverse effects"
Any old figures for the global dollar value of ARDS medications out there.. ???

Joe Kaplan, here is the brand new answer to your request! Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, Volume 28 Issue 1 (January 2024)
https://www.ijccm.org/abstractArticleContentBrowse/IJCCM/64/28/1/34862/abstractArticle/Article ------ read in the article PDF.....Considering these properties of VIP, aviptadil was launched, and this molecule received the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Fast Track Designation in June 2020 for dealing critical COVID-19 with respiratory failure. Aviptadil, a synthetic form of VIP, also named as RLF-100, is at present under phase II/III clinical trials. This drug has been designated as an orphan drug by FDA and has been used in past to treat respiratory airway diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ARDS, and sarcoidosis.17 The first reported use of intravenous aviptadil was by Youssef et al., who used this drug to treat double-lung transplant COVID patient with respiratory failure. A dramatic recovery was seen and the patient was discharged in satisfactory condition.
ZUVENTUS = OXYPTADIL = AVIPTADIL = RLF100 = Relief Therapeutic😀

Relief Therapeutics Announces that more than 400,000 of its ADRs are Currently Outstanding and that, as a Result, the Company has Achieved an Important NASDAQ Initial Listing Milestone
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/relief-therapeutics-announces-more-400-052000953.html
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / October 10, 2023 / RELIEF THERAPEUTICS Holding SA (SIX:RLF)(OTCQB:RLFTF)(OTCQB:RLFTY) (Relief, or the Company), a biopharmaceutical company committed to delivering innovative treatment options with the potential for transformative outcomes to benefit those suffering from select specialty and rare diseases, today announced that over 400,000 of its ADRs are now outstanding. Since one of the key requirements for a NASDAQ listing of ADRs is the requirement that a company have more than 400,000 ADRs outstanding at the time of its initial listing, this important milestone has now been achieved. If Relief is successful in listing its ADRs on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Relief's ADR listing will complement the existing listing of its ordinary shares on the SIX Swiss Exchange.

"We are pleased that our shareholders have contributed ordinary shares in return for ADRs in an effort to aid in our objective of listing our ADRs on a U.S. national securities exchange," said Jack Weinstein, chief executive officer of Relief. "Once the remaining requirements for listing are met, which primarily includes achieving a market price of $4.00 per ADR, we intend to progress quickly towards a NASDAQ listing of our ADRs." Mr. Weinstein continued, "Achieving a listing of our ADRs on a U.S. national exchange will broaden the pool of institutional investors able to invest both with open market purchases of our ADRs and in potential future U.S. offerings. We believe that Relief can obtain a NASDAQ listing status by the end of this year, and we are currently exploring several avenues to meet the remaining NASDAQ initial listing requirements."
