Gilead’s Veklury® (remdesivir) associated with a reduction in mortality rate in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across three analyses of large retrospective real-world data sets
- Real-world evidence from nearly 100,000 hospitalized patients provides clinical insights on the use of Veklury for the treatment of COVID-19
Gilead Sciences, Inc. announced positive data from three retrospective studies of the real-world treatment of patients hospitalized with COVID-19, adding to the body of mortality and hospital discharge data for patients treated with Veklury® (remdesivir). Presented at the World Microbe Forum (WMF), all three of the real-world analyses observed that, in the overall patient populations, patients who received Veklury treatment had significantly lower risk for mortality compared with matched controls. A reduction in mortality was observed across a spectrum of baseline oxygen requirements. The results were consistently observed at different timeframes over the course of the pandemic and across geographies. Two of the studies also observed that patients who received Veklury had a significantly increased likelihood of discharge from the hospital by Day 28.
