The hyperlink to Micheal Riordan is wrong. The statement says he was a 29-year old doctor when the company was founded, and that the company was found in 1987. The hyperlinked article is for a Micheal Riordan who was an attorney and police officer and who died in 1967.

Impressive importation of Gilead's website

Hm, I had removed this back in November, and here it is back again.

These tables are impressive importations of Gilead's website but this we don't rebuild company websites in Wikipedia.

This is not encyclopedic content, in my view. Not (as in WP:NOT) what we do here. It is definitely something that can be done here.

Am well aware that company websites always include this content. Of course they do.

Ref #1 is fake - the FDA drug search page. Ref #2 only covers 13 products and is of course an SEC filing. Ref #3 is.. the company website.

So this is entirely OR. A work of love, but not valid here in WP.

Product portfolio

1992 prospectus

Would love to find an RS for their IPO. SEC EDGAR only goes back to 94... Scribd is not OK. 15:11, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Whistleblower Lawsuit

After reading an article on Ars Technica I jumped straight here to see if there was any mention of the whistleblower lawsuit related to contaminated emtricitabine made in China and there was none. Isn't this relevant enough to be recorded here? The best news article I found about it is this one here, but I'm not familiar with Wikipedia's customs and protocols on editing an article (I just created my account after years of just reading it).

Potential RS

Out of an abundance of caution, I am adding content to the talk page before editing the article directly: By March 2020, Gilead Sciences (GILD) was making a substantial profit mainly because of its $17 billion HIV franchise and its HCV portfolio, which includes HCV drugs, such as Sovaldi and Harvoni, according to a Morningstar article.[1] The sale of these two HCV drugs peaked at more than $19 billion in 2015. Gilead had acquired Sovaldi when it purchased Pharmasset in November 2011 for $11.2 billion.[2] $11 billion Pharmasset deal brought key HCV drug Sovaldi. Sovaldi and Harvoni (a combination of Sovaldi and ledipasvir) peaked at more than $19 billion in sales in 2015. HCV portfolio. Both HIV and HCV medications are inexpensive to manufacture and easy to market.[1]Oceanflynn (talk) 18:58, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

By 24 January 2020, Gilead had provided remdesivir during the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak for a "small number of patients" in collaboration with Chinese medical authorities for studying its effects.[3] Later in January 2020, the first US patient received remdesivir in Snohomish County, Washington, and a 5 March 2020 article in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) reported that patient showed improvement after taking Remdesivir.[4][5]

By late January, Chinese medical researchers involved in exploratory research in which they were considering a selection of 30 drug candidates. At that time, remdesivir was one of three drugs, along with chloroquine and lopinavir/ritonavir, that seemed to have "fairly good inhibitory effects" on SARS-CoV-2 at the cellular level. They requested permission to start clinical testing were submitted.[6][7]

The government-run Wuhan Institute of Virology, a member of the "elite Chinese Academy of Sciences" and the Military Medicine Institute[8] applied to patent Gilead's remdesivir in China on 21 January to treat COVID-19.[9][10] Wuhan Institute is located in the city of Wuhan—the center of the COVID-19 outbreak in China.[9] This could fuel "conflict over technology policy that helped trigger Washington’s tariff war with Beijing."[9] On 29 January, the Wuhan Institute applied for a "military laboratory". An institute statement from the Wuhan Institute of Virology "acknowledged there were "intellectual property barriers" but said it acted to "protect national interests."[9] On 31 January, access to Wuhan was suspended by the Chinese government.[9] Under the World Trade Organization rules China has the right to "declare an emergency and compel a company to license a patent to protect the public."[9]

At a WHO-China Joint Mission on COVID-19 press conference on 24 February evening in Beijing, the Assistant Director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Bruce Aylward, said that, "There’s only one drug right now that we think may have real efficacy. And that's Remdesivir".[11]: 14 [12] In response, by the end of February, Gilead's stocks had risen by $16 billion.[13]

In a 4 March 2020 article in Nature, scientists from the Wuhan Institute and the Military Medicine Institute reported that they "found both Remdesivir and Chloroquine, which is used to treat malaria, to be an effective way to inhibit the coronavirus."[14][9]

In a 6 March article, Reuters said that the Wuhan Institute "would temporarily drop its patent claims if the opportunity arose to collaborate with foreign pharmaceutical firms to fight the epidemic."[10]

The official Xinhua News Agency said "clinical trials of the drug, remdesivir, would start" in China on 6 February 2020.[9][15] In a 14 February article, FiercePharmacy said that Chinese drugmaker BrightGene had successfully "mass produced remdesivir's active ingredient" and was producing finished doses. BrightGene said the "final marketing requires a license from Gilead, the patent holder.[16]

According to a 11 March 2020 The Washington Post article, while remdesivir had successfully blocked the "Ebola virus in laboratories and in animal experiments", researchers decided in August to stop using it on human patients because "it did such a bad job extending survival in humans compared to two of the other treatments."[17] A 2016 article in the journal Nature , said that a group of scientists had found that the antiviral drug that Gilead had developed—Remdesivir—had been effective against the Ebola virus disease in rhesus monkeys.[18] In a 6 February 2020 Associated Press article, Gilead said that said it had applied for a for a "Chinese patent" on the "use of remdesivir against coronaviruses" in 2016 and was still "waiting for a decision."[9]

A June 2017 article in the journal Science Translational Medicine reported that remdesivir was "shown to be active" against SARS and MERS in animals in laboratory tests.[19][20]

Statsnews reported on the March 2020 RBC Capital Markets analysts in response to their investigation of data from a study undertaken by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Covid-19 response team on the first 12 patients with COVID-19 in the United States. The RBC analysts said that Remdesivir produced "mixed results" with "less than 50/50 possibility that the drug is ultimately proven effective." The analysts mentioned concerns about Remdesivir's side effects.[21]

In February, China began to use chloroquine phosphate, a "structural analogue of quinine, originally extracted from the bark of cinchona trees" to treat COVID-19 patients.[22]
