Baseline uric acid levels and steady-state favipiravir concentrations are associated with occurrence of hyperuricemia among COVID-19 patients

Takenao Koseki et al.

Summary: This study found that steady-state concentrations of favipiravir in COVID-19 patients were significantly correlated with serum uric acid levels. High baseline uric acid levels and steady-state concentrations of favipiravir during therapy were identified as risk factors for hyperuricemia.

AVIFAVIR for Treatment of Patients With Moderate Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): Interim Results of a Phase II/III Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial

Andrey A. Ivashchenko et al.

Summary: In May 2020, AVIFAVIR, an RNA polymerase inhibitor, was granted fast-track marketing authorization by the Russian Ministry of Health for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. In the pilot stage of Phase II/III clinical trial, AVIFAVIR demonstrated a 62.5% viral clearance rate within 4 days for SARS-CoV-2 patients and was shown to be safe and well-tolerated.

Clinical Outcomes and Plasma Concentrations of Baloxavir Marboxil and Favipiravir in COVID-19 Patients: An Exploratory Randomized, Controlled Trial

Yan Lou et al.

Summary: Effective antiviral drugs for COVID-19 are still lacking and this study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and plasma concentrations of baloxavir acid and favipiravir in COVID-19 patients. In vitro evaluation showed that baloxavir acid exhibited antiviral activity, while favipiravir did not demonstrate significant antiviral activity. However, the addition of either baloxavir marboxil or favipiravir under the trial dosages did not show clear benefits compared to standard treatment.

Effectiveness of remdesivir for the treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 persons: A network meta-analysis

Yawen Jiang et al.

Summary: The study aimed to synthesize available RCT evidence on the effectiveness of remdesivir for treating hospitalized COVID-19 patients using network meta-analyses. Both the 10-day and 5-day remdesivir regimens were associated with higher odds of clinical improvement and recovery compared to a placebo. This suggests that remdesivir may have clinical benefits for hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Summary: The study found that over one-third of severe COVID-19 patients showed fibrotic-like changes in the lung at 6-month follow-up CT, which were associated with older age, acute respiratory distress syndrome, longer hospital stays, tachycardia, noninvasive mechanical ventilation, and higher initial chest CT score.

Summary: The study found that adding Favipiravir to the treatment protocol did not reduce ICU admissions, intubations, or in-hospital mortality compared to the Lopinavir/Ritonavir regimen. There were also no significant differences in time to clinical recovery and length of hospital stay between the two treatment groups.

Summary: Favipiravir is an antiviral drug expected to have therapeutic effects on SARS-CoV2 infection, but can cause cholestatic liver injury in high doses. In this case, high dose favipiravir may have exacerbated pre-existing liver dysfunction.

Summary: Favipiravir shows enhanced viral clearance in hospitalized adult patients with COVID-19 compared to standard of care, with a median time to viral clearance of 16.0 days in the favipiravir group and 30.0 days in the SOC group. Further studies are warranted to explore its potential in treating COVID-19.

Favipiravir for the treatment of patients with COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Toshie Manabe et al.

Summary: The study suggests that favipiravir shows promising efficacy in treating patients with COVID-19, inducing viral clearance within 7 days and contributing to clinical improvement within 14 days. The drug is especially effective for patients with mild-to-moderate illness. However, additional well-designed studies are needed to determine the optimal dosage and duration of treatment.

Favipiravir in the treatment of patients with SARS-CoV-2 RNA recurrent positive after discharge: A multicenter, open-label, randomized trial

Hong Zhao et al.

Summary: The study showed that favipiravir was effective and safe in treating patients with recurrent positive SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Patients treated with favipiravir had a significantly shorter duration of viral shedding and decreased inflammatory markers. Further large-scale, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: The study found that early initiation of Favipiravir (FPV) treatment has an impact on COVID-19 PCR negativity and disease progression, but does not significantly affect estimated survival time. Therefore, it is suggested to initiate FPV treatment promptly for better clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients.

Summary: The meta-analysis of Favipiravir in the treatment of COVID-19 showed significant clinical improvement in the Favipiravir group compared to the control group after seven days of hospitalization. However, there was no significant difference in viral clearance and oxygen therapy requirement between the two groups. The mortality rate was approximately 30% lower in the Favipiravir group, but this finding was not statistically significant.

Summary: A 70-year-old Japanese man developed SARS-CoV-2 infection and required oxygen therapy 5 weeks after onset of COVID-19 symptoms. After being diagnosed with organizing pneumonia and treated with prednisolone, his respiratory symptoms improved and his respiratory function recovered. The use of corticosteroids may be considered in patients with persistent respiratory dysfunction as a sequelae of COVID-19 pneumonia.
