Wikipedia

  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.

  2. Gilead Sciences:

  3. Anthony Fauci:

    The data shows that remdesivir has a clear-cut, significant, positive effect in diminishing the time to recovery.

  4. 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.

  5. Stephen Evans:

    The data show that there is only a small difference between the groups in improvement, these improvements are not dramatic - they are not a' game changer' in the terrible jargon, but at least there is some genuine evidence of improvement. For the patients it is good news that few died, but the evidence therefore that remdesivir improves mortality in these patients is uncertain and limited.
