The Russian government extended on Thursday its approval for drugmaker Pharmasyntez to produce a generic version of U.S. anti-COVID-19 drug remdesivir without a patent for one year, citing the need to protect its citizens.
Pharmasyntez asked the Kremlin to allow it to produce a generic version of U.S. COVID-19 drug remdesivir in November 2020 without consent from U.S. company Gilead SciencesRussia's Supreme Court in May rejected a lawsuit from Gilead Sciences that challenged the decision to let Pharmasyntez develop and market remdesivir.The governmental decree published on Thursday said Pharmasyntez has to pay compensation to the drug's patent-holder, without specifying the amount.
Pharmasyntez produces remdesivir under the name Remdeform. A shipment of the drug was sent by Russia to India as part of a delivery of humanitarian aid.Reporting by Andrey Ostroukh; Editing by Toby ChopraSubscribe for our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.
