BENGALURU - Gilead Sciences Inc said on Tuesday it was in discussions with chemical and drug manufacturers to produce its experimental Covid-19 drug remdesivir for Europe, Asia and the developing world through at least 2022.With several countries across the globe reeling from the virus outbreak, interest in remdesivir has been high as there are currently no approved treatments or vaccines for Covid-19, the respiratory illness caused by the new coronavirus.
Gilead also said on Tuesday it was negotiating long-term licences with several generic drugmakers in India and Pakistan to produce remdesivir for developing countries and that it would provide technology to aid the production. Remdesivir was previously available only for patients enrolled in clinical trials or those cleared to get the drug under expanded use and compassionate use programs.
