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.

Ceftolozane may be beneficial for COVID-19 according to the study below. COVID-19 involves the interplay of 400+ viral and host proteins and factors providing many therapeutic targets. Scientists have proposed 11,000+ potential treatments. c19early.org analyzes 210+ treatments. We have not reviewed ceftolozane in detail.

Mohammadian et al., Identification of Candidate Inhibitors to SARS-CoV-2’s Enzymes and Potential Disruptors of Its Structural Proteins’ Interactions, Advanced Biomedical Research, doi:10.4103/abr.abr_138_23

Background: Many studies have assessed the possible inhibitors for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, experiences like that from human immunodeficiency virus have taught us that a multidrug approach will reduce the chance of viral resistance. Materials and Methods: Here, we screened 2371 Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs for possible inhibition of nonstructural proteins of SARS-CoV-2 and expanded the work to include ligands that might interfere with the roles of structural proteins. Three different algorithms were used and suggested hits obtained using qVina were verified using Autodock Vina and leDock software. Results: Our results suggest direct-acting antivirals against hepatitis C might be efficient against SARS-CoV-2. Conclusions: Drug repurposing is a promising approach for the rapid identification of potential treatments for emerging diseases such as coronavirus disease.
