The first clinical trial in the U.S. of a possible coronavirus treatment was initiated in Nebraska and eventually it was expected to include 400 patients at 50 locations around the world.

According to sources, half of the patients in the international study will receive the antiviral medicine remdesivir while the other half will receive a placebo. Several other studies, including one looking at the same drug, are already underway internationally.

Dr. Andre Kalil, was appointed to oversee the study at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

While speaking on the possible vaccine for the treatment of Covid-19 said the clinical trial was developed quickly in response to the virus outbreak that originated in China.

Patients who are hospitalized with the COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, will be eligible to join the trial if they have at least moderate symptoms.
