Gilead prices remdesivir at $2,340 for treatment in most of the developed world

Published: June 29, 2020 at 10:47 a.m. ET

Shares of Gilead Sciences Inc. GILD, -0.01% gained 1.1% in premarket trading on Monday after the drugmaker disclosed that remdesivir, its experimental COVID-19 treatment, will cost $2,340 for a course of treatment. The drug hasn't been approved by the Food and Drug Administration but received an emergency use authorization from the regulator in May. The price, however, is slightly higher for the privately insured population in the U.S., at $3,120 per course of treatment.

"There is no playbook for how to price a new medicine in a pandemic," Gilead CEO Daniel O'Day said in a statement. The price of $2,340 applies to all developed countries, a decision aimed at removing "the need for country by country negotiations on price," O'Day said. Remdesivir has since been approved in Japan and has been recommended for approval in the European Union.

The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review, an organization that studies cost-effectiveness in medicine, last week updated its price recommendation for remdesivir, to $2,520 to $2,800 for a course of treatment, if patients are also prescribed dexamethasone. U.K. researchers recently discovered that the commonly used steroid can reduce mortality in some severely ill COVID-19 patients. Studies have found that remdesivir can reduce the amount of time that patients are in the hospital, but no mortality benefit has been found in clinical research at this time. Shares of Gilead are up 14.7% year-to-date, while the S&P 500 SPX, +1.46% is down 6.8%.

What is online stock trading and how does it work?

Online stock trading means buying and selling shares of companies publicly traded on a stock exchange. The price of a particular stock is determined by the total number of shares a company has created, usually measured in the currency of the stock market it is listed on, for example, pence (in the UK), euro (in Europe), yen (in Japan) and US dollars (in the US). In line with the law of supply and demand, when there are more traders who want to BUY a company than SELL it, its stock price typically rises. Conversely, when there are more traders who want to sell a company than buy it, the stock price tends to decrease. To see a full list of shares CFDs offered by Plus500, click here.

What is stock CFD trading?

CFD trading on shares is a form of trading that enables you to speculate on prices of publicly-listed companies traded on exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and Tokyo Stock Exchange, without the need to own the underlying stocks. Another unique feature of stock CFD trading is the ability to increase your market exposure through leverage (or margin). This means you only need a fraction of the total trade value.
