This week, a black market and community network of cat lovers sprang into existence to help pet parents get access to an illegal lifesaving drug for a cat disease called FIP. But a massive revelation threatens to tear this community apart. Please consider becoming a Hyperfixed Premium member.

This is why we shared GS-441524 with UC Davis to research its impact on FIP.GS-441524 is an intermediate in the synthesis of remdesivir, an approved treatment for COVID-19. Gilead’s supply of GS-441524 was and continues to be used to manufacture remdesivir to meet the demands of COVID-19.Today, remdesivir has been made available to more than 14.5 million patients around the world, including more than 8.1 million in low- and lower-middle income countries.In parallel, Gilead has made progress in studies identifying prodrugs of GS-441524 with improved oral bioavailability that could be further investigated as a therapeutic for FIP in cats. Discussions with suitable veterinary specialty companies are ongoing, but to-date we have not identified an appropriate partner. Gilead supports finding a solution for FIP at the earliest opportunity.

Maybe it’s just a quiet annoyance you’ve grudgingly learned to put up with, or a life defining issue that makes it hard to move forward. Whatever it is, Alex Goldman — reporter, radio producer, and overconfident idiot — will get to the bottom of it (if there’s a bottom to be found. Results may vary). Follow Alex as he figures out not only the vast hidden mechanisms that create these problems, but works with you, the listener, to find a solution. Or at least enough of an explanation that you’re ok with the annoyance. He’s not perfect.
