slipped 4% on Monday after a late-stage coronavirus drug trial showed that remdesivir had limited success treating moderately ill patients.
The company said that remdesivir helped patients in the trial with "moderate" disease recover more quickly when they took it for five days but it had limited benefits for patients who took it for 10 days. Gilead said patients in the group that received remdesivir for five days were 65% more likely to show signs of clinical improvement compared to those who got usual care, without receiving the drug.
Remdesivir has been tested as a treatment for patients with COVID-19. It has been authorized for emergency use by the US Food and Drug Administration and has been approved for use in Japan. While Monday's results affirm that remdesivir does have some success in treating COVID-19 it may raise questions how beneficial it will be overall.
