President trump has talked up a drug that has been shown to potentially help patients who are suffering from coronavirus many Scientists Say its still too early to know just how well that therapy actually works doctor sanjay gupta breaks down what we do know. What scientists are racing to find out. Why should we be testing it in a test tube. For a year and a half and we have. The thousands of people that are very sick very very sick. And we can use it. Well those people and maybe make them better and in some cases maybe save their lives. President trump says hes optimistic about some potential treatments for the Novel Coronavirus in particular a malaria drug called chloroquine you know this has been something thats been around for many years. Its been phenomenal strong powerful drug. From malaria. We think it might work on this based on evidence based and very strong evidence its true the medication has been around for more than 80 years and has a few side effects including nausea and mood changes as well as possible interactions with other drugs. Now enthusiasm for the possibility of treating the Novel Coronavirus largely centers on one study out of france which used a derivative of couric win used with an antibiotic commonly known as the z pack. The study was small and the patients were followed for only 6 days. The study that looked at that drug and activity was injured was a study that involved about 20 patients in only 6 in the arm that showed the benefit and the benefit that they showed was that they decrease the amount of virus in their in their noses when you did nasal swabs in those patients. So it could very well be that the drug is reducing viral shedding, but having no impact on the clinical course of those patients so the date on that is very preliminary. We took a closer look at the study and heres what we found. There were originally 26 patients in the study who were treated. 20 completed the trial. One left the hospital before the trial ended. One couldnt tolerate the medication. 3 went to the intensive care unit thats an 11 Critical Care rate. And one died. A 4 mortality rate. Now those numbers are higher Critical Care and mortality rates than the general population of infected keep in mind again. Its a small study there was another study from 2011, which found that while couric when was effective in the lab against the flu. It ultimately wasnt effective in humans. Look thats why trials are needed. And they can be done quickly. Many labs in the World Health Organization it already started studying these drugs and dozens of others to help us find an answer for a disease. They currently has no known cure. Using untested medicines without their right humans could days foles hope. And even do more harm good. And pose the shortage of essential medicines that needed to treat other diseases. And at the end of last week. Chloroquine was added to the American Society of Health System pharmacists drug shortage list. The World Health Organization is including clark win in its clinical trials. Some studies are also looking at using the drug as a prophylactic if those studies are successful the medicine could be used to help prevent new covid 19 infections.

Los angeles Public HealthOfficials Say early tests indicate a positive result for the virus, but they are looking further into this case with the cdc.
