.
Why the urgency to design this new study?
.
A pandemic brings a lot of speculation with it. There is no guarantee that a treatment will prove safe and effective, but it is critical to find out if it works. We can defeat this pandemic only with science.
//
How were you able to design the study so quickly?
.
Typically, it takes months to design a clinical trial and get the necessary approvals from health authorities to begin, but we managed to achieve this in weeks.
.
In March, a Novartis COVID-19 R&D Task Force was formed, and we quickly evaluated which of our medicines had the potential for investigation.
.
Within an hour of the decision, I wrote a study synopsis that the team assembled around the same day. Within a week we had a concept to share with health authorities, and within three weeks, we had permission to move the study forward.
//
What are your hopes for the scientific response to the pandemic?
.
I believe that science and technology will deliver vaccines and therapies to treat patients with COVID-19. People are coming together with a common goal and a sense of urgency.
.
This makes me very hopeful.
