US health authorities will allow emergency use of Gilead's coronavirus treatment
The US Food and Drug Administration will allow emergency use of Gilead's coronavirus treatment remdesivir.
The move allows for broader use of remdesivir. However an emergency use authorization is not regulatory approval. The FDA can apply a lower standard of evidence to allow emergency use. The regulatory action quickly follows positive trial results showing the drug, called remdesivir, helped coronavirus patients recover 31% faster than a group that got a placebo.
