President Trump and FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn highlighted potential COVID-19 treatments, including the malaria drug chloroquine and experimental antiviral remdesivir.
Other approaches under investigation involve using plasma from COVID-19 survivors and repurposing drugs like Roche's Actemra (rheumatoid arthritis) and Fujifilm's favipiravir (flu).
While these offer potential, the FDA emphasizes the critical need for rigorous scientific studies to confirm their safety and effectiveness, as no drug is currently specifically approved for COVID-19.
