The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's council does not decide whether to approve the new influenza drug "Abigan", which has been applied for approval as a drug for the new coronavirus, and will continue the deliberation. I decided.
Regarding Avigan, it was expected that the examination would be difficult because officials from the council pointed out that it is difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of clinical trial data alone.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will explain in detail the reason for the continued deliberation.
