COVID-19 Treatment Clinical Evidence
COVID-19 involves the interplay of 400+ viral and host proteins and factors, providing many therapeutic targets.
c19early analyzes 6,000+ studies for 210+ treatments—over 17 million hours of research.
Only three high-profit early treatments are approved in the US.
In reality, many treatments reduce risk,
with 25 low-cost treatments approved across 163 countries.
-
Naso/
oropharyngeal treatment Effective Treatment directly to the primary source of initial infection. -
Healthy lifestyles Protective Exercise, sunlight, a healthy diet, and good sleep all reduce risk.
-
Immune support Effective Vitamins A, C, D, and zinc show reduced risk, as with other viruses.
-
Thermotherapy Effective Methods for increasing internal body temperature, enhancing immune system function.
-
Systemic agents Effective Many systemic agents reduce risk, and may be required when infection progresses.
-
High-profit systemic agents Conditional Effective, but with greater access and cost barriers.
-
Monoclonal antibodies Limited Utility Effective but rarely used—high cost, variant dependence, IV/SC admin.
-
Acetaminophen Harmful Increased risk of severe outcomes and mortality.
-
Remdesivir Harmful Increased mortality with longer followup. Increased kidney and liver injury, cardiac disorders.

, A Subgroup Reanalysis of the Efficacy of Bufei Huoxue Capsules in Patients With “Long‐Covid‐19”, Pulmonary Circulation, doi:10.1002/pul2.70084
ABSTRACTBufei huoxue capsules (BFHX), manufactured products of traditional Chinese medicine, have demonstrated anti‐inflammatory properties and efficacy against chronic pulmonary diseases and COVID‐19. This study was designed to further determine the clinical efficacy of BFHX in diverse patient subgroups during the convalescent phase of COVID‐19, extending upon previously reported findings from a multicenter randomized controlled trial. Patients who had clinically recovered from COVID‐19 were blindly assigned to BFHX or placebo groups. All enrolled patients underwent chest computed tomography (CT) imaging, 6‐min walking distance (6MWD) test, and fatigue assessment inventory (FAI) at monthly follow‐up for 3 months. A post hoc subgroup reanalysis was performed on subgroups of sex, age, severity of acute illness, and positive/negative IgG antibody against S antigen variants. A total of 129 patients were enrolled in BFHX (N = 64) and placebo groups (N = 65). The 6MWD and FAI scores were more significantly improved in females and mild patients than in males and severe patients after BFHX treatment. Lung CT image evaluated by the change in whole lung volume and mean CT value showed that the patients below 60 years gained more therapeutic effects after 3 months of BFHX treatment (p = 0.0008; p = 0.017; p = 0.0313, respectively). The subgroup reanalysis implies that the therapeutic effectiveness of BFHX in managing COVID‐19 convalescence could potentially be influenced by factors including gender, age, and disease severity.Trial registration: This study was registered with the China Clinical Trial Registration Center (registration number: ChiCTR2000032573).
