Shots:
- The NDA filing is based on P-III studies evaluating Veklury vs PBO- conducted by NIAID. The studies demonstrated that Veklury led to faster time to recovery and that a 5-day or 10-day treatment duration led to similar clinical improvement
- Across multiple studies- Veklury was generally well-tolerated in both the 5-day and 10-day treatment groups- with no new safety signals identified
- Veklury (remdesivir) is an investigational nucleotide analog with broad-spectrum antiviral activity both in vitro/ in vivo in animal models against multiple emerging viral pathogens. The therapy has been approved by multiple regulatory authorities across the globe- including the EU and Japan
