Sanofi has drawn another blank in its attempt to repurpose its IL-6 drug Kevzara to tackle the extreme immune reaction seen in serious cases of COVID-19. The French pharma and development partner Regeneron have been testing Kevzara (sarilumab) in patients severely or critically ill and hospitalised with COVID-19.
