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.

, First-in-Human Study of a First-in-Class AI-Designed Monoclonal Antibody (GB-0669) Against the Conserved SARS-CoV-2 Spike S2 Stem Helix, medRxiv, doi:10.1101/2025.10.07.25337449
Background Antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain provided effective COVID-19 treatment until resistant variants emerged. GB-0669 is a half-life extended monoclonal antibody optimized using artificial intelligence, targeting the conserved spike S2 stem helix, a region with limited selective pressure from natural infection- or vaccine-induced antibody responses. Methods Pre-clinical safety studies were conducted in cynomolgus monkeys. In the first-in-human trial, healthy adults aged 18-55 received single intravenous doses of GB-0669 or placebo in five ascending cohorts (100, 300, 600, 1200, and 2400 mg). Participants were monitored for 43 weeks to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD; serum live virus neutralization). In vitro studies assessed neutralization of GB-0669 combined with antiviral drugs (remdesivir, nirmatrelvir, and molnupiravir). Results Pre-clinical studies revealed no safety concerns. In the clinical trial (n=51; 36 GB-0669, 15 placebo), GB-0669 was well-tolerated without dose-limiting toxicities; all adverse reactions were mild (Grade 1 or 2). PK showed dose-proportionality up to 2400 mg, with a half-life of 54 days. Dose-dependent increases in serum live virus neutralization occurred at 600 and 1200 mg, with separation from placebo. The estimated neutralizing index that adjusts GB-0669 serum concentrations for its in vitro neutralizing potency supported therapeutic efficacy for two weeks post-administration. Finally, in vitro experiments showed improved neutralization profiles of GB-0669 in combination with antivirals. Conclusions The data support exploring GB-0669 at 1200 mg in a Phase 2 trial for treating COVID-19 in immunocompromised individuals. The combination of GB-0669 with antiviral drugs may offer additional therapeutic benefits.
