Pfizer Is Researching a Pill to Treat Coronavirus
Pfizer on Wednesday announced that it had initiated a later-stage clinical trial for a pill that could potentially treat COVID-19.
If proven to be safe and effective, the drug could fill an unmet need for a widespread, easier-to-use treatment, as opposed to an infusion like remdesivir, another treatment.
Pfizer is beginning a trial that will enroll 1,140 participants, the company said.
