Remdesivir Hopes

by drricky May 1, 2020 No Comments
  • Remdesivir is an experimental antiviral drug made by the company Gilead. Designed to act against the RNA driven RNA polymerase enzyme in RNA viruses, it was initially tested on Ebola.
  • Since coronaviruses are also RNA viruses, Remdesivir is expected to work on them, too.
  • Published in The Lancet: Clinical trial of remdesivir in adults with severe COVID-19
    • Randomized, double-blinded
      • 237 patients
    • Placebo controlled
    • Multi-center
      • 10 hospitals in China
    • Bottom line
      • Any improvement was not statistically significant
