INNOVATIVE THERAPIES THAT SHOW PROMISE
MATH+ PROTOCOL
The MATH+ Hospital Treatment Protocol for COVID-19 is intended for use in the hospitalized patient, with an emphasis on early initiation — as soon as the patient develops a need for supplemental oxygen. MATH+ hospitals have been reporting hospital mortality between 4% and 10% as opposed to approximately 23%. MORE >
OUTPATIENT (HOME) THERAPY
A paper authored by 23 physicians concludes that it is conceivable that some if not a majority of hospitalizations could be avoided with a treat-at-home first approach with appropriate telemedicine monitoring and access to oxygen and therapeutics. An algorithm based on age and comorbidities that enables monitoring and treated at home during self-isolation to reduce risks of hospitalization and death. MORE >
BELOIT PROTOCOL
At a single institution, consecutive case series of 25 COVID-19 hospitalized patients treated with as adjuvant therapy. All 25 patients in the series survived hospitalized COVID-19 without mechanical ventilation or renal replacement therapy (RRT) and were discharged on room air within a median of 3 days (range 1-16 days). In this series, combined treatment with in an adjuvant setting was associated with 100% survival and improved radiographic outcomes, as well as statistically significant improvements in clinical, biomarker, and renal function measurements. The 9 patients with extremely high LDH (>365, Wuhan model prediction of 98% mortality) survived and were discharged on room air. MORE >

Therapies for treat COVID-19 can be placed into two broad categories:
• Therapeutics that treat viral infection.
• Therapeutics that mitigate COVID-19 complications and/or comorbid conditions.
FasterCures, a center of the Milken Institute, is currently tracking the development of treatments and vaccines for COVID-19 (coronavirus). This tracker contains an aggregation of publicly-available information from validated sources.
According to Milken there are: 316 Treatments in 7 categories are being developed now.
