COVID-19 clinical study of baricitinib and remdesivir set-up with the help of AI

  • The randomised control trial, which included more than 1,000 patients, began on May 8 to assess the efficacy and safety of baricitinib plus remdesivir versus remdesivir in hospitalised patients with COVID-19
  • The results of randomised trials, including the recently initiated global placebo-controlled study, are expected in the next few months
  • “This data will allow us to better understand baricitinib’s role in potentially improving outcomes for hospitalised COVID-19 patients, and we look forward to continuing this research alongside our other initiatives to combat COVID-19”
