Here’s the email i sent asking the question!!
Hi Margaret,
I hope this email finds you well.
Back in April 2020 it was announced that the global Solidarity trial would be established where comparing four treatment options against standard of care, to assess their relative effectiveness against COVID-19 - remdesivir; lopinavir/ritonavir; lopinavir/ritonavir with IFN beta-1a; and chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine.
Having seen an announcement over the weekend that from the WHO and reading an article online earlier today that lopinavir/ritonavir had been pulled from the trail, I'm wondering what the status is with IFN beta-1a going forward within the Solidarity Trials as a standalone treatment. It appears that IFN beta-1a is included within several other trials including REMAP-CAP, however im after some clarification on Solidarity Trial.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Finally, many thanks, i look forward to receiving your response.
Best Wishes,
