US government scientists reported that the antiviral drug remdesivir has been effective in treating monkeys infected with COVID-19.
“Early treatment with the experimental antiviral drug remdesivir significantly reduced clinical disease and damage to the lungs of rhesus macaques infected with SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19,” said a press release from the National Institutes of Health, which ran the experiment.
The small study, which is preliminary and has yet to be peer-reviewed, mimicked treatment procedures that are being used in a large human trial conducted on patients who have been hospitalized with either the COVID-19 disease or the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Remdesivir works against the COVID-19 by adding mutations that ultimately destroy the virus.
