EU Body Recommends Use Of Remdesivir To Treat COVID-19
The European Medicines Agency said Thursday it has recommended authorising the use of the anti-viral drug remdesivir to treat the new coronavirus.
It said the recommendation still needs approval from the European Commission, which is due to make a decision in the coming week. Washington authorised the emergency use of the medicine — which was originally intended as a treatment for Ebola — on May 1, followed by several Asian nations including Japan and South Korea.
It said its assessment was based mainly based on data from a study sponsored by the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases .
