Doctors in US are now using remdesivir off-label

Someone with a "Harvard lab" ought to know what "off-label use" means.

Remdesivir is in phase III testing, it’s not even available to prescribe off label. NIH is using it to test efficacy in Corona patients in limited use at a Nebraska Hospital (China / Japan testing as well) At some point I imagine if the drug shows promise Doctors can request to prescribe via Compassionate Use prior to final FDA approval.
