Thirty-two cats with effusive or non-effusive feline infectious peritonitis treated with a combination of remdesivir and GS-441524

Jodie Green et al.

Summary: This study investigates the use of a combination of oral GS-441524 and injectable remdesivir for the treatment of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) in cats. The results show that 87.5% of cats responded to treatment within 2 days, and 81.3% of cats were alive and in remission at the end of the 12-week treatment period. However, 18.8% of cats died or were euthanized during treatment. These findings suggest that the combination of injectable remdesivir and oral GS-441524 is effective for treating FIP.

Outcomes of treatment of cats with feline infectious peritonitis using parenterally administered remdesivir, with or without transition to orally administered GS-441524

Sally J. Coggins et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the therapeutic drugs GS-441524 and its prodrug remdesivir (GS-5734) for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). The results showed that intravenous administration of remdesivir and oral administration of GS-441524 were effective and well-tolerated treatments for FIP. When monitoring treatment efficacy, early emphasis on clinical response and later emphasis on clinicopathologic response appear to be prudent.

William A. Fischer et al.

Summary: In a clinical trial, the safety, tolerability, and antiviral efficacy of molnupiravir were evaluated in unvaccinated individuals with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study found that participants receiving high-dose molnupiravir had a shorter time to viral RNA clearance and a lower detection rate of infectious virus. Molnupiravir was well tolerated across all doses.

Comprehensive Nonclinical Safety Assessment of Nirmatrelvir Supporting Timely Development of the SARS-COV-2 Antiviral Therapeutic, Paxlovid™

Jean G. Sathish et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease (Mpro) is a key enzyme for the replication of COVID-19, and nirmatrelvir is its target. Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir co-administered with ritonavir) has shown efficacy in treating high-risk COVID-19 patients. Nonclinical safety studies of nirmatrelvir support its clinical development and use in the treatment of COVID-19.

Adaptive Mutation in the Main Protease Cleavage Site of Feline Coronavirus Renders the Virus More Resistant to Main Protease Inhibitors

Zhe Jiao et al.

Summary: The development of antiviral drugs is crucial in addressing the rapidly emerging SARS-CoV-2. This study explores the resistance mutations of the viral main protease (M-pro) and identifies the impact of these mutations on viral replication and drug resistance. The findings highlight the need for a combination therapy to effectively combat contemporary and emerging coronaviruses.

SARS-CoV-2 infection is effectively treated and prevented by EIDD-2801

Angela Wahl et al.

Summary: The study suggests that bats may be the source of coronaviruses that can be directly transmitted to humans. Using the LoM model, efficient replication of SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and two SARS-like bat coronaviruses in human lung tissue was demonstrated. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 predominantly targets human lung epithelial cells and induces a sustained inflammatory response. The broad-spectrum antiviral agent EIDD-2801 significantly inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in vivo, showing potential for prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

Considerations for the discovery and development of 3-chymotrypsin-like cysteine protease inhibitors targeting SARS-CoV-2 infection

Koen Vandyck et al.

Summary: This article reviews first-generation SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro inhibitors PF-07304814, GC-376, and CDI-45205, which are currently being delivered either by injection or inhalation due to their low intrinsic oral bioavailability. Additionally, PF-07321332 is emerging as a promising second-generation clinical candidate for oral delivery. A key challenge in the development of novel 3CLpro inhibitors is the poor understanding of the predictive value of in vitro potency towards clinical efficacy, complicated by the involvement of host proteases in virus entry. Further preclinical and clinical validation will be crucial in establishing 3CLpro inhibitors as a bona fide class for future SARS-CoV-2 therapeutics for both hospitalized and outpatient populations.

Unlicensed GS-441524-Like Antiviral Therapy Can Be Effective for at-Home Treatment of Feline Infectious Peritonitis

Sarah Jones et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the use of unlicensed GS-441524-like antiviral therapy in treating cats suspected of FIP. The majority of owners were from the United States, with only a small percentage receiving help from veterinarians. While the treatment cost was high, most owners reported significant improvement within one week, with majority of cats surviving and being cured, despite some relapses and deaths. Reported complications were mainly related to owner administration of injections.
