Upcoming Clinical Trial (2027)
Hydronovo is advancing Ceviginate (CVGN8), a first-of-its-kind regenerative therapy designed to restore salivary gland function. Unlike current treatments that provide only temporary symptom relief, our approach aims to repair damaged gland tissue and provide long-lasting, meaningful results by addressing the root cause of xerostomia.
We are preparing for a Phase I clinical trial in early 2027.
