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.

, Preclinical evaluation of ISH0339, a tetravalent broadly neutralizing bispecific antibody against SARS-CoV-2 with long-term protection, Antibody Therapeutics, doi:10.1093/abt/tbad003
Abstract Background: Ending the global COVID-19 pandemic requires efficacious therapies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Nevertheless, the emerging Omicron sublineages largely escaped the neutralization of current authorized monoclonal antibody therapies. Here we report a tetravalent bispecific antibody ISH0339, as a potential candidate for long-term and broad protection against COVID-19. Methods: We report here the making of ISH0339, a novel tetravalent bispecific antibody composed of a pair of non-competing neutralizing antibodies that binds specifically to two different neutralizing epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) and contains an engineered Fc region for prolonged antibody half-life. We describe the preclinical characterization of ISH0339 and discuss its potential as a novel agent for both prophylactic and therapeutic purposes against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Results: ISH0339 bound to SARS-CoV-2 RBD specifically with high affinity and potently blocked the binding of RBD to the host receptor hACE2. ISH0339 demonstrated greater binding, blocking and neutralizing efficiency than its parental monoclonal antibodies, and retained neutralizing ability to all tested SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. Single dosing of ISH0339 showed potent neutralizing activity for treatment via intravenous injection and for prophylaxis via nasal spray. Preclinical studies following single dosing of ISH0339 showed favorable pharmacokinetics and well-tolerated toxicology profile. Conclusion: ISH0339 has demonstrated a favorable safety profile and potent anti-SARS-CoV-2 activities against all current variants of concern. Furthermore, prophylactic and therapeutic application of ISH0339 significantly reduced the viral titer in lungs. Investigational New Drug studies to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of ISH0339 for both prophylactic and therapeutic purposes against SARS-CoV-2 infection have been filed.
