Antivirals for COVID-19 in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Purpose of Review: To evaluate the critical studies published so far on the most promising antiviral therapies for COVID-19, with particular emphasis on any solid organ transplant-specific information Recent Findings: Although the literature is increasing exponentially, most clinical trials have been preliminary, thus lacking robust evidence to support many of the drugs discussed here The main exception is remdesivir, for which several trials have been published supporting its use for patients with severe COVID-19 No solid organ transplant-specific data on remdesivir or other antiviral therapies have been published so far Summary: While further studies are urgently needed, in particular those specific to solid organ transplant recipients, the evidence so far only supports the use of remdesivir for patients with severe COVID-19
