MORE WANT TO BRING IN PROFESSOR
PENELOPE WARD CHAIR OF THE
EDUCATION AND
STANDARDS COMMITTEE AT THE
FACULTY OF PHARMACEUTICAL
PHYSICIANS, A PROFESSOR WARD,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GETTING
UP EARLY WITH US THIS MORNING
THERE ARE VERY FEW TREATMENTS
AVAILABLE FOR COVID BESIDES
JUST THE VACCINE HERE
AND THEY CAN REQUIRE
HOSPITALIZATION SO HOW HUGE AND
BIG WOULD IT BE TO HAVE AN
EFFECTIVE PILL NOW AS A
TREATMENT PLAN.
>> WELL IT'S VERY GOOD NEWS THE
STUDY WITH OF THE COMPOUND TOLD
THAT THE TRUCK
PHARMACEUTICALS COMPOUND.
SHOWN A REDUCTION IN THE NEED
FOR HOSPITALIZATION IN PATIENTS
TO THE LEAST ONE THE HIGH
RISK FACTOR WHO BECAME ON WELL
WITH
THIS IS THE FIRST TO BE SHOWING
THIS ACTIVITY COOL SEALS WITH
THE HAVE THE MONOCLONAL
ANTIBODY COMBINATIONS A PRIEST
IN THE U.S. UNDER EMERGENCY USE
LEGISLATION FULL THE EXACT
SAME REASON.
>> YEAH GO AHEAD, PROFESSOR,
I'M SORRY.
>> HARD TO TO GET AN INFUSION
THAN IT IS TO GET PEOPLE TO
SWALLOW THE TOP OF THAT SO
NO TOTALLY VERY VALID POINT
DOCTOR FAUCI OVER THE WEEKEND
PROFESSOR WARD SAID HE SAW SOME
NEW HOPE WITH
THIS DRUG.
>> DO YOU EXPECT THE EARLY
RESULTS HERE TO MAYBE WARRANT
SERIOUS CONSIDERATION FOR
APPROVING IT OR DO YOU THINK
THE RESEARCH STILL NEEDS IS
INSUFFICIENT AT THIS PARTICULAR
POINT AND MORE RESEARCH NEEDS
TO BE DONE.
GIVEN THE FACT THAT THIS IS
SORT OF THE NEW AT THE FIRST
ANTIVIRAL DRUG WE'VE HAD ON
COVID SO FAR.
>> OF THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN IT
STUDIED IN THE PAST FOR A
VARIETY
PLAY A FINAL CONDITIONS AND HAS
BROUGHT SPEC SOME ANTI VIRAL
ACTIVITY IT'S POSITIVE BEEN
ANIMAL MODELS AND NOW WE HAVE
THE FIRST STATES IN
HUMAN STUDIES. IT DOESN'T WORK
IF GIVEN TO LIGHT AFTER THE
ONSET OF DISEASE.
SO IT MUST BE GIVEN VERY
QUICKLY OFF TO PEOPLE FIRST
DEVELOPED SYMPTOMS AND THAT'S
COMMON FOR ALL OF THE REST
RICHIE IRIS
A FAMILY. DRUNKEST BEEN STUDIED
THE RESULTS
THAT WE HAVE A FROM AN INTERIM
ANALYSIS OF THE
LARGEST STUDY AND I IMAGINE THE
WORKING HALL TO COMPLETE THE
DATABASE. THE LARGEST STUDY TO
COMPLY. THESE EARLY
THE SALTS SOON AS THOSE HAVE
COME I'M SURE THAT THEY'LL BE
APPLYING FOR EMERGENCIES
RECOGNITION. THEY WILL SAY
STUDYING ITS US
A PREVENTIVE. TREATMENT SO TO
PREVENT PEOPLE THAT BEEN
EXPOSED TO PEOPLE
WITH COVID CATCHING THE DISEASE
AND THEY BE NEEDING HOSPITAL
CARE AS SAY THAT MEDIA CAN SET
OUT A POTENTIAL FA WIDESCALE
USE IN A MUCH MORE PRACTICAL
WAY THEM. BUT THE MOMENT PLAY
LANCE ABILITIES.
>> YEAH, GOOD POINT AND ALSO
YOU KNOW WITH THIS THERE'S NO
POTENTIAL FOR A NASAL SPRAY
DOWN THE ROAD AS WELL
IS THE EXPECTATION HERE THAT
COVID IS GOING TO BE PART OF
OUR LIVES FOR THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE WHY WON'T MAYBE
NECESSARILY PANDEMIC
IT WOULD BE BASICALLY KIND OF
LIKE CATCHING A COLD OR
CATCHING YOU KNOW THE FLU WHERE
IF YOU DO GET IT THERE'S GOING
TO BE A RANGE OF DIFFERENT
MEDICINES OUT THERE TO HELP YOU
THAT WAY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
THE HOSPITAL AND END UP DYING
FROM IT IS THAT BASICALLY THE
EXPECTATION THAT.
>> IN THAT SENSE THAT PATIENTS
SO THERE ARE 2 OTHER ANTI-VIRAL
MEDICINES THAT CAN BE GIVEN OR
AT
LEAST SAY CAPSULES AND TABLETS
AND US HE SAID NASAL SPRAY OR
AND INHALED PRODUCTS
WHICH IS ALSO BEING SHOWN SOME
EFFECT IN EARLY-STAGE STUDIES.
SO I HOPE VERY MUCH THAT BY
CHRISTMAS SOCIAL ME OFF TO WILL
BE A RANGE OF TREATMENTS
AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE WITH THIS
HORRIBLE DISEASE WHICH CAN MAKE
THEM FEEL BETTER FALSE TO AND
KEEP THEM OUT OF HOSPITAL
IF WE HAVE EFFECTIVE
TREATMENTS THEN I THINK THE
LITTLE BREATHE, A SIGH OF
RELIEF AND GET BACK TO NORMAL
LIFE.
>> PROFESSOR WARD, WHILE I
STILL HAVE YOU WE KIND OF
OBVIOUSLY SEE
WHAT HAPPENS IN ENGLAND AND IN
EUROPE TO KIND OF FEEL THE NEXT
WAVE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE
IN THE UNITED STATES. OUR COVID
CASES HAVE FALLEN ABOUT 30%
OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 2
WEEKS. HOW WOULD YOU ASSESS
WHAT THE COVID CASES ARE LIKE
WHERE YOUR AT RIGHT NOW IN
LONDON AND SHOULD WE AMERICANS
BE EXPECTING ANY SORT OF KNEW
SERVE. A POTENTIALLY DOWN THE
HORIZON GIVEN THAT COVID CASES
ARE GOING DOWN BEFORE
THE HOLIDAYS.
>> YES, AND THERE ARE 2 FACTORS
THAT TO BE OKAY THAT SUCH AS
ONE IS THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW
VARIANT ANOTHER. THE AUTHOR IS
THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE VACCINE
SO WORKING AND YOU GUYS HAVE
BEEN UP THE STING YOU'LL FACTS
AN AGING POPULATION AND WITH
JUST ABOUT STARTING ON THE
SAME THING BASED THAT THE CASES
THAT WE HAVE AT THE MOMENT ARE
IN SCHOOL CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT
VACCINATED AND THE RELATIVELY
MILD WE DON'T HAVE SO MANY
HOSPITALIZATIONS AND SUDDENLY
FALL FEWER DEATHS THAN WE
WERE HAVING THIS TIME LAST YEAR
WE HAVE TO GET ON TOP THIS NOW,
AND CERTAINLY WITH THESE NEW
TREATMENTS COMING ON LINE WILL
BE ABLE TO DO THE BEST JOB.
BUT THE FIRST COOL BUT EVERYONE
IT'S GETTING VACCINES.
