Rejected petition Government need to accelerate approval for Covid19 Drugs , like SNG001.

Government need to increase their focus on drugs that have proven effective against Covid19 and ensure they are made available to hospitals around the UK. SNG001 has a 79% effective rate, it is interferon beta based and global research shows it is highly effective against Coronavirus.

More details

With hospitals filling up with coronavirus patients and Covid19 deaths increasing, it seems crazy that drugs like SNG001 have not been approved for emergency hospital use. What is the delay. Save lives today !!

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Decisions on the approval of individual medicines (including accelerated approval) is a matter for the Medicines & Healthcare products
Regulatory Agency, the independent medicines regulator, not the Government or House of Commons.

The MHRA has already set out a commitment to prioritising potential treatments for COVID-19: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/mhra-approves-covid-19-vaccine-trial-in-7-working-days

We also couldn't publish a petition that contained potentially misleading statements about the effectiveness of particular drugs, which would include drawing conclusions about their effectiveness from trial data.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
