Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals are set to continue the Phase II/III clinical trial of Kevzara (sarilumab) in hospitalised patients having critical respiratory illness caused by Covid-19.
The move is based on a recommendation by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC), which reviewed available Phase II and Phase III findings.
