Abstract

Repurposing of existing antiviral drugs, immunological modulators, and supportive therapies represents a promising path toward rapidly developing new control strategies to mitigate the devastating public health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. A comprehensive text-mining and manual curation approach was used to comb and summarize the most pertinent information from existing clinical trials. Drugs with previous efficacy against related betacoronaviruses like SARS and MERS were also systematically evaluated as potentially promising candidates for drug repositioning.
