The experimental coronavirus treatment remdesivir has shortened the recovery time for COVID-19 patients, according to data from a new study cited by the U.S. government.
EXPERIMENTAL CORONAVIRUS TREATMENT REMDESIVIR DELIVERS 'POSITIVE DATA' IN TRIAL, SAYS DEVELOPER GILEAD
During his press conference, Fauci said that more information on remdesivir’s performance will be forthcoming. “Bottom line, you’re going to be hearing more details about this,” he said. “This will be submitted to a peer-review journal and will be peer-reviewed appropriately. “But I think it’s really opening the door to the fact that we now have the capability of treating, and I can guarantee you, as more people, more companies, more investigators get involved, it’s going to get better and better,” said Fauci.
However, he noted that, as yet, it is unclear whether or not the drug would be most effective for earlier-stage COVID-19 patients.In the U.S., remdesivir is still awaiting regulatory approval as a coronavirus treatment. “The FDA, literally, as we speak, is working with Gilead to figure out mechanisms to make this easily available to those who need it,” explained Fauci. “With regard to getting to the market, it will obviously have to be approved by the FDA for licensure and the FDA is very well aware that this is something that is very important so I am sure that they are going to be moving very expeditiously, but I can’t give you a date.
