New developments in pharmaceutical science, with Professor Gino Martini, Chief Scientist at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. Gino talks to Dr Hubert Bland from pharmaceutical company Sanofi, discussing the prospects for coronavirus treatments and vaccines. In this podcast, Sanofi will talk about experimental vaccines and a few existing medicines that are approved for other indications. Sanofi wants to be very clear that use of any of its medicines in covid-19 is off-label, entirely experimental at this stage – therefore unproven. Sanofi wants to caution they are not endorsing use of these medicines. Their intent is to explain to the society’s listeners the current status of these studies.
