ABSTRACT
Background: New information for potential treatments against SARS-CoV-2 is
rapidly increasing. As a result, countries and organizations have begun to release
therapeutic guidelines.
Objective: To provide a synopsis of the recommendations supported in evidence-based
guidelines for therapeutic options with potential activity against SARS-CoV-2.
Method: Rapid systematic review of guidelines and/or protocols that provide interim
clinical guidance for COVID-19 disease were extracted from PubMed/Medline, Web
of Science, Scopus, Scielo, Google Scholar, and a general Google search. Duplicates
were removed and a summary of the proposed interventions was included. A benefit
risk analysis was then conducted.
Results: Twenty guidelines and/or protocols were selected; the majority of which came
from Europe and Latin America. Seventeen interventions were identified and classified
into 6 pharmacological groups. Antimalarials, lopinavir/ritonavir and remdesivir were the
only agents recommended and supported by clinical trials. The remaining interventions
were recommended based on indirect evidence, observational studies, or in vitro studies.
Conclusions: Antimalarials have shown results against COVID-19 with surrogate
outcomes and the presence of serious adverse events. We recommend active monitoring
of agents with potential efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 and incorporating the results in
national guidelines and protocols. Clinical trials should be conducted to show direct
benefit with clinically relevant outcomes in various populations.
