RDIF has provided funding into Russia's development and production of the drug which is based on favipiravir, an anti-influenza drug first developed in Japan under the name Avigan, in a 50-50 joint venture with Russian pharmaceutical firm ChemRar.
Preliminary trials appeared to show that it could shorten recovery times for patients with Covid-19. The final stage of Avifavir clinical trials involving 330 patients, are ongoing, RDIF and ChemRar said Monday, but"We believe there are now only two antiviral drugs against the virus that are really effective, those are remdesivir, done by the U.S., and this favipiravir, which also has significant promise," he told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe.
RDIF and the ChemRar Group said Monday that they will deliver 60,000 courses of Avifavir to Russian hospitals in June, they said, promoting it as among the world's first coronavirus treatments to be approved. "Avifavir is Russia's first Covid-19 drug and has shown high efficacy in treating patients with coronavirus during clinical trials. Avifavir has received a registration certificate from the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Thus, Avifavir has become the first Favipiravir-based drug in the world approved for the treatment of Covid-19," they said in the statement.
According to data received from an earlier clinical trial of the drug, 65% of the 40 patients tested negative for coronavirus after five days of treatment, which was two times higher than in the standard therapy group,Russia has the third highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the world, with 405,843, according to data collated by Johns Hopkins University. The official death toll remains low, however, at 4,693.

Just like Soviet times, they lie about everything.
if it is an anti-influenza drug it might be an RNA polymerase inhibitor or rNTP analog. It might. It may also have adverse effects. I will try to read today.
They would have to say that, wouldn't they? On the other hand, it was developed by Japan so it might actually work.

They tested it on the bears and it works! Double the efficacy if downed with vodka...
They have had the treatment and cure for hundreds of years, copious amounts of vodka with a hot russian sauna and a birch branch flogging. No virus can live with that.

I am sure Mr T knew about this vaccine and took it months ago. That's why he doesn't wear a mask. His little buddy Putin set him up..........again.
Just another Monday 'miracle drug' to drive up stock prices on optimism...it's all BS.
China and Russia should exchange cures with one another, just to be safe...
MJMusicEars Denial?🤔
Who’d they steal it from?
1.2 I think that it is a very short time for testing the drug, perhaps Russia, as always, will begin to test this drug immediately in humans without additional tests. You also need to understand Russia, for their own significance they can go to any deception
1.1 I think these statements are false. The Japanese drug NELFINAVIR was taken as the basis for the treatment for COVID19.
