The treatment landscape for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to evolve rapidly. Despite the availability of vaccines in the markets under study, research is ongoing to lower viral loads and improve outcomes. Although multiple therapies have been approved for COVID-19 in the markets under study—most notably Pfizer’s Paxlovid (ritonavir / nirmatrelvir), Gilead’s Veklury (remdesivir), and Merck’s molnupiravir—treatment guidelines in these countries and/or available clinical evidence do not always support their use. The high unmet need associated with preventing and treating this disease and its burden on healthcare systems worldwide presents significant opportunity for therapies in the pipeline. Indeed, numerous therapies with diverse mechanisms of action (MOAs) are in clinical development for COVID-19, and many of them are expected to launch in the next few years. The greater availability of treatment options will continue to transform the treatment landscape and help address the unmet need.
