Study results concerning remdesivir benefits in COVID-19

Remdesivir is the only drug other than dexamethasone shown to benefit those infected with COVID-19 in a large, randomized trial. It shortened the amount of time patients needed to spend in the hospital, but it did not have a statistically significant benefit in preventing deaths. It is the only drug that has gained emergency use authorization from the US FDA.
