Current Recommended Therapies (Drug-drug interaction resource: http://www.covid19-druginteractions.org/ )
Available Investigational Therapies
Agent Adult Dose Notes Main Toxicities
Remdesivir (Veklury®) FDA Approved 10/22/20 for HOSPITALIZED ADULTS and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older and weighing at least 40 kg with confirmed COVID-19 or high suspicion based on clinical symptoms. Potential Benefit: Decreased recovery time in patients with moderate disease. In patients requiring significant respiratory support (category 3 or 4) the clinical benefit is uncertain. The NIH guidelines do not recommend routine initiation for patients
on mechanical ventilation. (category 4). Individually
consider use in this population
200mg IV x 1 then 100mg IV daily x 4 Use beyond 5 days may be considered in patients who are not improved or mechanically ventilated/on ECMO The manufacturer does not recommended use if CrCl < 30 ml/min at baseline
Coadministration of remdesivir and hydroxychloroquine (or chloroquine) is not recommended based on in vitro data demonstrating an antagonistic effect of chloroquine on the intracellular metabolic activation and antiviral activity of remdesivir
Increase in hepatic transaminases and prothrombin time (see monitoring below) Consider discontinuing if ALT levels increase to greater than 10 times the upper limit of normal. Discontinue if ALT elevation is accompanied by signs or symptoms of liver inflammation. Infusion related reactions including hypotension, nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis and shivering. The patient should be monitored closely for a reaction and if mild the infusion duration may be extended to 120 minutes. Discontinue if the reaction is severe.
Additional Important Considerations with Remdesivir Provider informs patient/family of risks and provides a patient information sheet https://www.gilead.com/-/media/files/pdfs/medicines/covid-19/veklury/veklury_patient_pi.pdf Also available on Kaleidascope: http://kaleidascope.kaleidahealth.org/resources/coronavirus/#general Additional conditions to consider: Not absolute but strongly recommended
Absence of severe hepatic dysfunction
Absence of end stage or life-limiting comorbidity
Give as early as possible in hospitalization for COVID and preference to symptom onset <= 10 days
Individually consider for patients on HFNC, NIMV, Invasive MV or ECMO due to uncertain clinical benefit Monitoring:
CMP and Prothrombin Time baseline; CMP daily and PT periodically during treatment Consider discontinuation if ALT levels increase to >10 times the ULN
Must discontinue if:
ALT elevation is accompanied by signs or symptoms of liver inflammation or increasing conjugated bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, or INR
Acute anaphylactic or severe infusion reaction Renal Dysfunction: The manufacturer’s labeling does not recommend use due to the potential for accumulation of
the possibly nephrotoxic vehicle SBECD although the short duration of exposure (5 days) may minimize this risk.
A small data set in renally impaired patients demonstrated no increased risk of renal or hepatic adverse reactions. No formal efficacy, safety or pharmacokinetic data are available for patients with renal impairment or who are receiving renal replacement therapies. Individual risk benefit assessment should be used to determine if it is beneficial to consider use in patients with CrCl below 30 ml/min or who are receiving renal replacement therapy. Pregnancy: Pregnant patients were not included in the clinical trials but did receive the drug under compassionate use protocols. A report of 86 pregnant and postpartum hospitalized patients with severe disease given remdesivir demonstrated the therapy was well tolerated, with a low rate of serious adverse events. Remdesivir should not be withheld from pregnant patients if it is otherwise indicated.

Emergency Use Authorizations
Convalescent Plasma
High-titer convalescent plasma is available on an EUA for hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Benefit is uncertain and a growing body of literature suggests it is ineffective in most cases. If considering use the patient should be early in the course of the disease. Not considered standard of care. FDA provider fact sheet:
https://www.fda.gov/media/141478/download
Contact/PI: Manoj Mammen (716.259.0589)
Baricitinib (Olumiant)
For COVID positive hospitalized patients with severe disease the Janus kinase inhibitor, baricitinib, in combination with remdesivir, may be considered if corticosteroids are not an option. It’s place in therapy continues to be delineated as it is currently being studied in comparison to dexamethasone in an NIH sponsored trial (ACTT-4)
Bamlanivimab (Eli Lilly) NOT
AVAILABLE
Due to the emergence of resistant variants only the Regeneron product will be available COVID positive patients outpatients at high risk for progressing to severe disease or hospitalization within 10 days of symptom onset with mild to moderate symptoms without a need for supplemental oxygen above baseline Referral to the infusion clinic is required. For more information see the link: https://www.kaleidahealth.org/coronavirus/support/providers/ambulatory/Monoclonal-Antibody-Treatment-for-Adults-with-COVID.pdf May be considered in COVID positive inpatients who meet specific criteria. See Below for recommendations
Casirivimab / Imdevimab
(Regeneron)
Agent Adult Dose Notes Main Toxicities
Corticosteroids NOT FDA approved The role of steroids in the management of COVID-19 continues to evolve. NIH and IDSA recommend use in patients with severe disease. Data from the RECOVERY trial indicates there is a mortality benefit in patients requiring oxygen or mechanical ventilation.
Dexamethasone 6mg (IV/PO) daily for up to 10 days is the regimen studied in that trial. Do NOT continue after discharge
Alternative corticosteroids may be used if dexamethasone is not available in a daily dose of: Methylprednisolone 32mg Prednisone 40mg Hydrocortisone 160mg
Steroids should NOT be used in patients with category 1 severity unless an alternative indication (COPD/asthma) exists due to lack of benefit and potential for harm. Monitor for adverse effects (hyperglycemia, secondary infections, psychiatric effects, avascular necrosis).
Interleukin- 6 Inhibitor NOT FDA approved NIH guidance recommends use early in the course of rapidly deteriorating severe disease. IDSA suggests use with evidence of systemic inflammation (CRP > 75 mg/dl)
Tocilizumab 8mg/kg up to 800mg max with dexamethasone
See treatment criteria checklist to determine appropriateness. Do NOT use if possibility of concurrent bacterial infection
Potential to increase infection risk although clinical trials have not demonstrated a major safety signal. Infusion reaction potential requires close monitoring during administration
Therapies that are NOT RECOMMENDED
Hydroxychloroquine Emergency Use Authorization revoked by the FDA. Determined that known risk of severe adverse effects outweigh any proposed benefit for use in the treatment of COVID-19. FDA Statement on HCQ
Multiple additional therapies are postulated to be beneficial for COVID-19 but no convincing evidence exists to support their use. As information becomes available to support additional treatments this guidance will be updated
to reflect that evidence.

ACTIV 4: VTE Prophylaxis
BGMC
Placebo controlled RCT of VTE prophylaxis with apixaban for 30 days post discharge. STATUS: Enrolling
Contact/PI: Alberto Monegro CORTEXT
Treatment Considerations
Viral Screening Should be obtained on presentation to aid in ruling out other causes of symptoms ED: Rapid influenza swab when influenza is prevalent Inpatient PUI: Rapid SarsCoV2/Influenza/RSV (Cepheid) (unnecessary to confirm with PCR) Abbott ID NOT recommended for PUIs: https://www.kaleidahealth.org/coronavirus/support/providers/testing/Abbott-IDNow-Logistics-and-Appropriate-Use-10212020.pdf
ACEi/ARB If a patient is already maintained on therapy, do not hold in the absence of alternative indication(s) to hold (i.e. hypotension, AKI). Current evidence does not support stopping these medications.
DVT Prophylaxis / Anticoagulation
Emerging evidence indicates increased risk of clotting in COVID-19 patients. Enoxaparin is the preferred agent unless the patient is ESRD. Routine use of therapeutic anticoagulation is not recommended outside of treatment for a known/suspected thrombosis or the presence of a chronic indication. Please refer to the “Anticoagulation Guidance for Patients with COVID-19” on Kaleidascope for more detailed information.
NSAIDs No clear evidence exists to define the role of NSAIDs in COVID-19. Concerns for increased risk of severe adverse effects in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Reasonable to avoid in management of these patients. NSAIDs should not be withheld if patient has a clear alternative indication for use.
Nebulized treatment Avoid in non-intubated patients. Aerosol-generating procedure, medium to high risk of exposure to health care personnel in the surrounding area without respirators. Inhalers should be used when nebulized treatments are indicated.
Beta-agonist (albuterol)
Beta-agonist breathing treatments have not been studied to show any additional benefit in shortness of breath associated with COVID-19. In the absence of clear indication (history of asthma, COPD) there is no clear benefit to use.
Empiric Antibiotic Use
Routine Empiric antibiotics are not recommended.
Based on the available literature, Procalcitonin (PCT)
levels remain low in the early phase of disease (7-10
days) and can rise in the later phase of disease, even
without superinfection
If starting empiric antibiotics, utilize the “Adult
Infection Pneumonia” order set
Recommended duration of therapy for community
acquired pneumonia is ~5 days
Does not favor empiric antibiotics
COVID positive (or high clinical
suspicion)
CXR: peripherial / bilateral infiltratesBaseline PCT < 0.2Non-ICU admission

Patient and/or the caregiver is aware that SARSCoV vaccine administration should be deferred for at least 90 days post monoclonal antibody administration
Obtain consent for biologic treatment (KH00049-035)
Influenza Vaccination The following points should be considered with regard to influenza vaccination:
There are no data to inform optimal timing of influenza vaccination in persons with or those
recovering from COVID-19 with regards to influenza vaccine effectiveness.
For patients with COVID-19 treated with medications that can suppress the immune system
(e.g. high dose steroids). o Immune response to influenza vaccination may be diminished and the ideal time to vaccinate
after discontinuation of these medications is not known.
o These persons might also be at increased risk for severe illness due to influenza as a result of
immunosuppression
o Timing of vaccination for these individuals should be guided by considerations of the individual’s
underlying risk of medical complications due to influenza, and the degree of influenza circulation
in the local community
