The origin story of SOT is amazing:
It was developed from an antibody in a frozen blood sample from a patient who survived the SARS epidemic of 2003.
It binds to a highly conserved part of the coronavirus spike protein and blocks cell entry.

Returning to COMET-ICE: what was studied?
Patients were randomized (double-blind) to receive a one-time IV infusion of SOT or placebo.
The primary outcome was the relative reduction in patients hospitalized for >24h or who died from any cause through day 29.

High-quality evidence suggests RDV shortens time to clinical improvement in hospitalized patients with #COVID19 and hypoxemia (ACTT-1).
Based on this, @NIH recommends RDV in hypoxemic inpatients:

How does this drug work?
MOV is a RNA nucleotide prodrug of n-hydroxycytidine, a cytidine analogue that is a potent mutagen for viruses.
It works by tricking viral RNA polymerase into making errors during replication.

My appraisal of the Danish mask study (DANMASK-19): This was a negative trial - masks were not shown to prevent #COVID19.
Could chance or bias make this outcome more likely?
Does this mean we don’t need to wear masks?
Let’s take a deeper look.

First, let’s agree on what was tested:
The hypothesis was that the recommendation to wear masks (added to other public health measures) would reduce the incidence of COVID19 among wearers from 2% to 1% over 1 month, in a setting where mask use was uncommon (Denmark).

Regarding bias: Strict inclusion/exclusion criteria can introduce selection bias by creating a highly selected study population.
This was NOT so in RECOVERY.
In figure 1, we see that 83% of recruited* patients were ultimately included.

Amazingly, ~15% of all patients hospitalized for COVID19 in the UK during the study period were included in this trial.
No other Tx trial for COVID19 even comes close to that level of representation.
→These results should generalize broadly to hospitalized patients.
