Abstract

A large number of candidate drugs are undergoing evaluation for their potential to modulate the pathologic host immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Clinical trial efficacy and safety data are slowly emerging for several of these agents. We provide a summary of candidate immunomodulatory agents, which are registered in ClinicalTrials.gov, and for which clinical data are available. We provide the rationale for their consideration for the treatment of COVID-19, as well as report on data available from the various clinical investigations of their efficacy and safety.
