Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has called for the rapid development and use of antiviral drugs to effectively control the disease. Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir (Paxlovid), Molnupiravir, and Remdesivir have been pivotal in therapeutic approaches, although they raise concerns regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs).

Objective: This study aimed to thoroughly assess the ADRs associated with these drugs by utilizing the Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

In a new respiratory virus pandemic, optimizing allocation of scarce medical resources becomes an urgent challenge. Infection prognosis takes on particular importance when allocating scarce antiviral antibodies and drugs, which are most effective when administered before the onset of severe disease. During arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic to the United States in 2020, we conducted a prognostic biomarker discovery and validation effort based upon metabolomic profiling with a liquid-chromatography-mass spectrometer (LC-MS) type used clinically for rapid toxicology.

Background And Objective: Remdesivir is a nucleotide analog prodrug approved for the treatment of COVID-19. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics and safety of remdesivir and its metabolites (GS-704277 and GS-441524) in participants with varying degrees of renal impairment. Results of this phase I study, along with those of a phase III study, contributed to an extension of indication for remdesivir in the USA and Europe for use in patients with COVID-19 with all stages of renal impairment, including those on dialysis, with no dose adjustment.
