ChemRar Group and The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) have reported positive data from a multi-centre clinical trial of Favipiravir in patients hospitalised due to Covid-19.
During the randomised, open, comparative trial, 40 patients were treated with the drug. Of these patients, 60% tested negative for coronavirus following five days of treatment, two times higher compared to those on standard therapy.
