Merck & Co said on Wednesday it would supply about 60,000–100,000 doses of its experimental COVID-19 treatment to the U.S. government for up to about $356 million.
The agreement will help support advanced development and large-scale manufacturing of the company’s investigational therapeutic MK-7110 to treat hospitalized patients with severe or critical COVID-19, the U.S. Department of the Health and Human Services said.
