Are you aware of any one drug that treats COVID-19?
I am not.
Therefore, I take what Doc Williams said at his word.
Which in my layman's terms means - we have a good shot at FDA EUA as part of a cocktail of drugs - IF NOT - A Standalone Go To Drug.
If we want to look at the best measure for where things stand as it relates to "treatments" for COVID-19, we only need to turn to Donald J. Trump (POTUS 46).
Trump received ^that regimen of drugs by a team of 12 World Class Doctors. A regimen unavailable to nearly all other human beings on Planet Earth. In Trump's case it worked, but I'd bet them doctors were sweating bullets the entire time. In my personal opinion, Trump is simply an anomaly. Everything about him defies logic. ^That cocktail may not have worked for whomever else may have received it.
So going back to the question you raised, "Correct me if I am wrong... but to me this reads as ... "we don't have something that will work on it's own like we hoped it would, so we will have to see if it works in combination with something else" - MedChem
In the Grand Scheme Of Things/Big (Pharma) Picture...if NP-120/Ifenprodil becomes an approved drug what difference does it make if it works alone or in combination with other drugs?
IMO, the only answer is - the difference will be the market cap/share price.
Furthermore, the data is tracking towards a positive signal. Your concern suggests NP -120/Ifenprodil can get approved without a positive signal - zero effectiveness. I don't know how that happens, but IF it did, once again, what difference does it make?
IMO, the only answer is - the difference will be the market cap/share price.
