A Treatment for Monkeypox?
Monkeypox is the newest worldwide pandemic and closely mirrors both COVID-19 and HIV pandemics. A large difference is theoretical vaccines and treatments for monkeypox already exist. In this episode of GameChangers, host Geoff Wall, evaluates tecovirimat, a potential monkeypox treatment and the regulations that made it possible.
The GameChanger
Little to no randomized controlled data exist on tecovirimat’s safety and efficacy in monkeypox. A recent case series helps establish the safety of tecovirimat for monkeypox use.
