Pimodivir (VX-787, JNJ-63623872) is an antiviral drug which was developed as a treatment for influenza. It acts as an inhibitor of influenza virus polymerase basic protein 2, and has shown promising results in Phase II clinical trials.^[1]^[2]^[3] However, in late 2021, Janssen announced that the clinical development of pimidivir had been halted due to lack of benefit over standard of care.^[4]
