The boy, Josh Hardy, will be the first patient to be enrolled Wednesday in the new study of the drug, brincidofovir, the Durham, N.C.-based company, Chimerix, announced late Tuesday.
Earlier the company had said it could not release the drug to Josh outside of clinical trials. The boy’s family had been pleading with the company to change its mind.
