Eli Lilly remains confident in its COVID-19 drug despite research showing it may not help hospitalized patients

The drugmaker said Tuesday it remains confident that its drug may stop COVID-19 from developing in other patients. Researchers are still studying the drug in mild to moderately ill patients, to try to prevent hospitalization and severe illness.

U.S. government officials said Monday that they put an early end to a study testing the antibody drug in hospitalized patients because it doesn't seem to be helping them. Antibodies are proteins the body makes when an infection occurs; they attach to a virus and help it be eliminated.
