Preliminary results from a clinical trial of remdesivir, an experimental antiviral drug being tested for coronavirus, could come in as little as one to two weeks, though the final results aren't expected until mid-to-late May.
The final results aren't expected until mid-to-late May, said Dr. Andre Kalil, a principal investigator for the trial. But he said"we can potentially have some early data in the next one or two weeks," contingent on a preliminary analysis."In the next few weeks, we're going to do the analysis, and we're going to basically know if remdesivir is better or not than placebo," he told CNN.
Last week, the World Health Organization accidentally published a summary of results from a clinical trial of the drug in patients with severe Covid-19. A screenshot of the summary published by STAT showed"remdesivir use was not associated with a difference in time to clinical improvement."But that trial was terminated early due to low enrollment, and Gilead said the results were posted prematurely.
