Abstract

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a widely infectious and pathogenic viral infection. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was reported in Wuhan, China, and spread throughout the world. Coronavirus is indeed an enveloped RNA virus of the genus Betacoronavirus, which is transmitted to birds, humans as well as other mammals. The fastest human to human transition has been generally established. On July 19, 2020, the WHO has reported total confirmed cases: 1,40, 43,176, total confirmed new cases: 1,66,735, total deaths: 5,97,583, and total new deaths: 4,496 globally.

Material & Methods: In this review, the Clinical trial database is analyzed and systematically summarized drugs which are in the recruiting phase and the completion phase of the clinical trial.

Results: Total 383 clinical trials are listed, involving more than 350 medicines such as Deferoxamine, Favipiravir, DAS181, Tocilizumab Injection, Sarilumab, Placebo, Sildenafil citrate tablets, Sargramostim, Lopinavir/ritonavir, Remdesivir, Bevacizumab, Tetrandrine, Fingolimod, Methylprednisolone, Plaquenil, Tocilizumab, Hydroxychloroquine, Abidol hydrochloride, Bevacizumab Injection, Methylprednisolone, Amoxicillin-clavulanate, Moxifloxacin, Sarilumab, Darunavir, Cobicistat, etc.

Conclusion: There is no commercially authorized antiviral treatment or vaccine suitable for use against COVID-19. However, clinical trials represent an effective approach because they facilitate the development of new types of pharmaceutical drugs.

Keywords: COVID-19, pneumonia, WHO, drugs, infection, corona.
