From a CNN hit piece in today’s news. Probably unreliable but the premise is that no HQ trials are funded because the drug is cheap and readily available. There's billions to be made on more sophisticated developments like monoclonals and anti virals.
From CNN: At a White House briefing last week, Trump said hydroxychloroquine, which is used to treat malaria, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis, shows "tremendous promise" of working against coronavirus as well.
"I think it's going to be great," he said. "We're quickly studying this drug."
But the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases isn't sponsoring any studies on hydroxychloroquine, according to a statement from the agency, which added that the agency is "considering" trials that examine the drug or its analogue chloroquine as a potential treatment for Covid-19. studies.
