We just got more 'hopeful' data on Gilead's potential coronavirus treatment, but it's too soon to tell if the drug works
- More than two-thirds of hospitalized COVID-19 patients improved in condition after receiving remdesivir, an experimental antiviral treatment from Gilead Sciences.
- These findings come from data published Friday on 53 patients, the largest dataset yet for remdesivir.
- Experts, including the lead author of this study, cautioned against reaching conclusions on the drug's efficacy. This is because the trial had no control arm to compare the results with.
- High-quality data is coming soon from two studies in China that tested remdesivir against a placebo. Those results are anticipated this month.
