Struggling under the weight of individual compassionate use requests, Gilead is scaling up its expanded access scheme for remdesivir ahead of an all-important data readout in April. Physicians and hospitals will be able to apply for multiple patients at once, accelerating access and enabling open-label data collection, adding real-world data to the clinical evidence base.
Coronavirus TV Episode 7: Sobering predictions
Over the weekend, Dr Fauci shared the latest models that project total mortality due to COVID-19 in the US of 100–200k, while slowing growth of new cases in Europe has yet to translate into reduced numbers of deaths. Day-to-day fluctuations and lagging indicators make it difficult to quantify the effect of social measures and potential therapeutic interventions.

Coronavirus TV Episode 5: Transitioning from R&D ethically
As the forerunner in COVID-19 R&D, all eyes are on Gilead as it navigates through R&D but also acts as a commercial entity. So far, it is making all the right moves such as giving up Orphan Drug status, building goodwill for the industry, although pharma’s detractors are never far away.
Coronavirus TV Episode 4: Digital ASCO

Coronavirus TV Episode 3: Eli Lilly and trial postponements
Eli Lilly has announced that most of its 300 ongoing or planned trials will be postponed to new patients, citing the pressure of COVID-19 on healthcare systems. A sensible step that many peers will follow, although the industry needs to evolve and incorporate decentralized trials to protect R&D momentum in the future.
Coronavirus TV Episode 2: Anti-malarials and Presidential endorsements

COMBATING CORONAVIRUS
The Covid-19 pandemic is creating unprecedented Healthcare challenges with far reaching effects yet to be measured. There is a need for greater collaboration and communication among researchers, healthcare systems, government agencies, NGOs, and the public at large. Behind the scenes, the biopharma industry is rallying to innovate and collaborate to develop diagnostics, vaccines and treatments as quickly as possible.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first cases of COVID-19 were documented in China at the end of 2019 and now in 2020 this disease has spread to become a global pandemic.
As COVID-19 is a new disease, investigations are still ongoing to fully understand it and develop a vaccine. Spread of the disease is thought to be transmitted via respiratory droplets through coughing or sneezing, and can result in a variety of symptoms. It primarily targets the respiratory system with mild symptoms ranging from fever and cough to more severe cases where dyspnea and pneumonia can develop resulting in the need for respiratory assistance.
This disease is affecting us all globally but there are measures we can all take as individuals to fight COVID-19 so it is critical to follow government guidelines to stay safe and prevent COVID-19 from spreading.
