Pfizer identifies lead COVID-19 candidate

The WSJ reports that Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) has found a promising coronavirus treatment that works by blocking viral replication. It plans to start testing this summer.
Rheumatoid arthritis med Xeljanz (tofacitinib), a Janus kinase inhibitor, is another option. Testing in COVID-19 patients will start this week in Italy.
Also, it intends to publish research on whether one of its antibiotics benefits COVID-19 patients.
Clinical trials should launch this month evaluating a vaccine candidate that it is developing with Germany’s BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:BNTX).
