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.

T5A 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 T5A in detail.

Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, utilizes membrane-bound, angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) for internalization and infection. We describe the development of a biologic that takes advantage of the proximity of the N-terminus of bound ACE2 to the three-fold symmetry axis of the spike protein to create an ultrapotent, trivalent ACE2 entry antagonist. Distinct disulfide bonds were added to enhance serum stability and a single point mutation was introduced to eliminate enzymatic activity. Through surface plasmon resonance, pseudovirus neutralization assays, and single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, we show this antagonist binds to and inhibits SARS-CoV-2 variants. We further show the antagonist binds to and inhibits a 2003 SARS-CoV-1 strain. Collectively, structural insight has allowed us to design a universal trivalent antagonist against all variants of SARS-CoV-2 tested, suggesting it will be active against the emergence of future mutants.
