Retrospective 42 elderly patients in China showing faster viral clearance with molnupiravir.
Concerns have been raised that the mutagenic mechanism of action may create dangerous variants or cause cancer [Hadj Hassine, Swanstrom]. See [Fountain-Jones, Sanderson, twitter.com] for analysis of variants potentially created by molnupiravir.

Introduction: The efficacy of molnupiravir (MLN) on Omicron sublineages is limited. We investigated the effectiveness of MLN in older adults diagnosed with Omicron BA.2. Methods: Data of elderly COVID-19 patients (over 60 years) admitted to Chinghai Hospital (Shanghai, China) from 26 March to 31 May 2022 were reviewed. Study outcomes were a composite of undetectable viral load (VL) and disease progression [all-cause mortality, initiation of oxygen supply through high-flow device or invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), or intensive care unit (ICU) admission] and their individual outcomes. Results: A total of 42 elderly patients were enrolled: 26 of them received MLN, 17 (40.5%) were males, the median age was 84 years, and 12 were fully vaccinated (31.0%). Among these elderly COVID-19 patients, five (11.90%) experienced obvious dyspnea or were transferred to ICU [three MLN users (11.5%) versus two non-MLN users (12.5%)]. Compared with no MLN use, MLN use was associated with rapid undetectable VL. At day 10, MLN users achieved Yayun Liu, Lingling Ge, and Shiyong Fan are co-first authors.
