The title is shortened in a somewhat misleading way, making it sound at if this might be about a clinical study.
The full title is: "Coronavirus Susceptibility to the Antiviral Remdesivir (GS-5734) Is Mediated by the Viral Polymerase and the Proofreading Exoribonuclease."
What this is is a study performed in mice, trying to work out the mechanism of action of Remdesivir, which is known to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.
What's going to be really interesting is what comes out of ongoing clinical studies: https://www.gilead.com/purpose/advancing-global-health/covid-19 https://www.gilead.com/purpose/advancing-global-health/covid...
