Excerpt from the update on COVID-19 from Gilead’s Chairman and CEO
Over the course of the past week, Gilead has been working in consultation with regulatory authorities to establish additional expanded access programs for remdesivir, our investigational medicine for COVID-19. The programs enable hospitals or physicians to apply for emergency use of remdesivir for multiple severely ill patients at a time. These are patients who cannot take part in clinical trials and where the word “emergency” is all too real for them, their families and the healthcare providers advocating on their behalf.
