Just sifting through Mercks approved Covid drug, which doesn’t appear to give us much to beat?
Huge orders have been put in place for the immediate and long term, mainly from US Government.
‘demonstrated as treatment with molnupiravir reduced hospitalizations and death: 14.1% (53/377) of patients in the placebo group were hospitalized or died, compared to 7.3% (28/385) of patients who received molnupiravir who were hospitalized; at the interim analysis, no patients who took molnupiravir died through Day 29, compared to eight patients who received placebo. The absolute risk reduction was 6.8 percentage points (95% CI: 2.4, 11.3; p=0.001, one-sided), which is approximately a 50% relative reduction in the risk of hospitalization or death through Day 29 for molnupiravir compared with placebo.’
Thoughts?
