1. Remdesivir

   Remdesivir (development code GS-5734) is a novel antiviral drug in the class of nucleotide analogs. It was developed by Gilead as a treatment for Ebola virus disease and Marburg virus infections, though it has subsequently also been found to show antiviral activity against other single stranded RNA viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus, Junin virus, Lassa fever virus, Nipah virus, Hendra virus, and coronaviruses (including MERS and SARS viruses). It is being studied for 2019-nCoV and Nipah and Hendra virus infections. Based on success against other coronavirus infections, Gilead provided remdesivir to physicians that treated an American patient in Snohomish County, Washington infected with the Wuhan coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, and is providing the compound gratis, to China, to conduct a pair of trials in infected individuals with and without severe symptoms.

Examples of remdesivir in a Sentence

1. Daniel Griffin:

   More recently, The Results have come out -- it was a really landmark paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine -- showing that if you give remdesivir in the first five days, during the acute viral phase, before you wait for the door to close, you could prevent progression by almost 90 %. It was 87 % in that study. So remdesivir actually can be a very effective antiviral if you give it at the right time in the right patient, if we can extend this down to children and actually give it to them during the critical time when it can make the biggest difference, finally, we're really opening up more options, because these kids don't have a lot of options.

2. James Krellenstein:

4. Francis Collins:

5. Celine Gounder:

   We've been mostly focused on monoclonal antibodies and to some degree, remdesivir and some of the other immunomodulators, but we really need to be thinking about other antivirals, here I am speaking as a member of Infectious Diseases Society of America -- the Infectious Diseases Society of America. Infectious Diseases Society of America still does not recommend the use of monoclonal antibodies, despite emergency use authorization being granted by the FDA.
