Here are some additional slides from my presentation I gave to the @MDAndersonNews #Oncology healthcare providers. While I covered a lot, here is further information on #therapeutics for #COVID19

Not enough time to discuss everything so I highlighted a few.
- For further information regarding lopinavir/r please check out the recent article published from China
- This was the study that has led to all the "hype" about the potential for HCQ.
- Please note the limitations of the study
- Also note potential side effects of HCQ and Azithromycin
-Graph depicting viral clearance for HCQ vs HCQ/Azithromycin vs No therapy
- All 5 patients received a range of antivirals
- All 5 patients were within a range of age groups
- By day 12 after infusion all 5 had clearance of VL, improved P/F ratio, and improved SOFA score
- By day 12 after infusion 4/5 had improved temperature
Final Thoughts
- There are a lot of potential therapies
- This thread highlights only a few potential therapies
- If you have a patient with #COVID-19 please try to enrolled in a clinical trial rather than giving them a medication off label as we really need science to lead
