Effect of menopausal hormone therapy on COVID-19 severe outcomes in women-A population-based study of the US National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) data

Yilin Yoshida et al.

Summary: Using a U.S. national COVID-19 cohort and cross-sectional analysis, it was found that menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) use was associated with a lower risk of mortality and prolonged hospital stay among inpatient women. Estrogen-only and estrogen-plus-progestin therapies had a more prominent protective effect than progestin-only therapy.

Efficacy of antiviral therapies for COVID-19: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials

Charan Thej Reddy Vegivinti et al.

Summary: This study reviewed current evidence from randomized clinical trials on the efficacy of antivirals for COVID-19 treatment. It found that antivirals were more effective when administered early in the disease course, but none demonstrated efficacy in reducing COVID-19 mortality. Larger randomized controlled trials are needed to establish efficacy conclusively.

Remdesivir for the treatment of patients in hospital with COVID-19 in Canada: a randomized controlled trial

Karim Ali et al.

Summary: This Canadian study explores the effectiveness of remdesivir as a treatment for COVID-19. The results show that remdesivir has a modest but significant impact on important outcomes for patients and healthcare systems, such as the need for mechanical ventilation.

Profile of estetrol, a promising native estrogen for oral contraception and the relief of climacteric symptoms of menopause

Celine Gerard et al.

Summary: This narrative review discusses the pharmacological characteristics and mode of action of E4 as an oral contraceptive, as well as the results of clinical studies in contraception, menopause, and oncology. E4 has a distinct profile of ER alpha activation, which leads to its favorable safety and tolerability.

Low Thrombin Generation in Users of a Contraceptive Containing Estetrol and Drospirenone

Laure Morimont et al.

Summary: The study compared the impact of a new combined oral contraceptive containing 15 mg estetrol and 3 mg drospirenone with oral contraceptives containing ethinylestradiol (30 or 20 mcg) in combination with either 150 mcg levonorgestrel or 3 mg drospirenone on thrombin generation. The results showed that the estetrol/drospirenone combination had less impact on thrombin generation compared to ethinylestradiol-containing products, which increased the production of procoagulant factors and decreased the production of anticoagulant ones, creating a prothrombotic state.

Remdesivir and three other drugs for hospitalised patients with COVID-19: final results of the WHO Solidarity randomised trial and updated meta-analyses

Summary: This study presents the final results of the Solidarity trial and meta-analyses of mortality in relevant trials. The findings suggest that remdesivir does not have a significant effect on COVID-19 patients who are already on ventilators. However, it does have a small effect against death or progression to ventilation in other hospitalized patients.

Baricitinib plus Remdesivir for Hospitalized Adults with Covid-19

A. C. Kalil et al.

Summary: Combination treatment with baricitinib plus remdesivir was superior to remdesivir alone in reducing recovery time and accelerating improvement in clinical status among patients with Covid-19, notably among those receiving high-flow oxygen or noninvasive ventilation. The combination was associated with fewer serious adverse events.

Carlos Salama et al.

Summary: Among hospitalized patients with Covid-19 pneumonia not on mechanical ventilation, tocilizumab reduced the risk of progression to mechanical ventilation or death, but did not improve overall survival. There were no new safety concerns identified.

Estrogen and COVID-19 symptoms: Associations in women from the COVID Symptom Study

Ricardo Costeira et al.

Summary: The study found that menopausal women had higher rates of predicted COVID-19, while users of combined oral contraceptive pills had lower rates. Hormone replacement therapy usage did not consistently show associations with COVID-19. However, caution should be taken when interpreting the results due to certain limitations in the data collection.

Vincent C. Marconi et al.

Summary: Although there was no significant reduction in the frequency of disease progression overall, treatment with baricitinib in addition to standard of care (including dexamethasone) had a similar safety profile to that of standard care alone, and was associated with reduced mortality in hospitalised adults with COVID-19.
