Comment: The short term survival of 6/6 patients with respiratory failure in the setting of COVID-19 and major comorbidity is the most dramatic response ever seen with an antiviral agent. Improvement in radiographic appearance, oxygenation requirement, and inflammatory markers is consistent with in vitro evidence of direct anti-viral effect.
Hospital course and adverse events. The time to ICU discharge ranged from 1 – 14 days in the 4 of 6 patients so far
discharged from intensive care (Table 2).
