Remdesivir was never prescribed to our COVID-19 inpatients throughout our study period due to the fact: this particular drug was not readily available in our hospital in the starting the pandemic; it was not judged clinically meaningful as outlined by our implementation process determined by the continuous vital reviewing on the accessible medical literature; and the French drug authorities (Haute Autorit?de Sant? at some point thought of in September 2020 that remdesivir did not bring any improvement in healthcare benefit within the cure of inpatients with moderate illness, and brought an insufficient healthcare benefit for those with serious or important illness [16].

This method produced it attainable to initiate exceptional offlabel therapies whose interest was then confirmed by clinical trials, and on the contrary to avoid and/or limit uncontrolled prescriptions of therapies secondarily deemed ineffective and even deleterious [3, 17], although reassuring hospitalists inside the specific context of Marseille, France.
