Thousands of vulnerable NHS patients in hospital due to COVID-19 are set to benefit from a ground-breaking new antibody treatment Ronapreve. The drug is the first neutralising antibody medicine specifically designed to treat COVID-19 to be authorised by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for use in the UK. Ronapreve, a combination of […]

A drug given to former US president Donald Trump when he had coronavirus last year is to be rolled out to vulnerable NHS hospital patients. Last month, UK health secretary Sajid Javid heralded Ronapreve as the first treatment designed specifically for Covid-19 to receive regulatory approval in the UK. The UK department for health and […]

While use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for the treatment of COVID-19 in the US has declined, its abandonment has been offset by use of remdesivir and dexamethasone, and use of the latter therapies varies considerably across health systems. These were among the results of a retrospective cohort study of the 3 COVID-19 therapies that was recently […]

“The recent increase in Covid-19 cases has caused a substantial rise in the utilization of monoclonal antibody drugs, particularly in areas of the country with low vaccination rates,” Dr. Daniel Skovronsky, Lilly’s chief scientific and medical officer and president of Lilly Research Laboratories, said in a statement. “Lilly developed bamlanivimab and etesevimab for administration together, […]

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic remains uncontrolled despite the rapid rollout of safe and effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, underscoring the need to develop highly effective antivirals. In the setting of waning immunity from infection and vaccination, breakthrough infections are becoming increasingly common and treatment options remain limited. Additionally, the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern with their […]

Introduction: Need of an antiviral against Covid-19 prompted clinical trials all over the world and based on initial promising trends, remdesivir was widely used all over the world, including India (compassionate use). Subsequent trials have been conflicting in their results and the utility of the drug has been widely debated. Methods: This is a record-based […]

Vijay Rupani has been made a “scapegoat” and he became the victim of the BJP’s “internal tussle,” Congress leader Shaktisinh Gohil said on Saturday. Rupani resigned as Gujarat Chief Minister on Saturday more than a year ahead of assembly polls in the state. Gohil said the BJP government in the […]

Even if the delta variant takes more COVID-19 patients to the hospital, treatment is becoming more effective by saving them. Dr. Stephen Bratt “In fact, some patients are about twice as likely to live with COVID infection when they are admitted to the hospital as they were when they first started treatment for COVID in […]

Convalescent plasma, IVIG, and remdesivir have successfully helped immunocompromised patients recover from the virus. The results of a new study published in The International Journal of Molecular Sciences shows that convalescent plasma, IVIG, and remdesivir help immunocompromised patients recover from COVID-19 without B-cell population recovery. Remdesivir inhibits the replication of the virus, while convalescent plasma […]

A drug created by a Texas A&M University professor could be the most effective treatment yet of patients with COVID-19, including the aggressive variants of the virus such as Delta and others. The drug compound, called MPI8, has stopped the replication of the virus in laboratory tests. It was created by a Texas A&M research […]

Abstract A key element for the prevention and management of COVID-19 is the development of effective therapeutics. Drug combination strategies of repurposed drugs offer several advantages over monotherapies, including the potential to achieve greater efficacy, the potential to increase the therapeutic index of drugs and the potential to reduce the emergence of drug resistance. Here, […]

A panel set up to look into grievances against Gautam Budh Nagar private hospitals during the second wave of Covid-19 on Thursday ordered the district chief medical officer (CMO) to act against Prayag Hospital in Sector 41 for administering 11 vials of remdesivir to a woman in violation of protocol. The patient later died. The […]

Private hospitals have asked the State Government to focus more on micro-containment zones so that coronavirus spread is curbed and normal activities can be resumed outside the containment zones. Currently, there are fewer than 100 micro containment zones in the city. The BBMP had some time back reclassified the micro containment zones as places with […]
