The Prescribe Right Pharmaceutical Pipeline Tracker is working to provide information that subscribers can use in updating their Emergency Operations Plan to provide contingencies for COVID-19. There are no approved treatments for COVID-19. But several researchers and pharmaceutical companies are conducting or designing clinical trials to test potential treatments.
We currently are tracking drugs and vaccines for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19 infections in the pages listed below. Whenever possible, we have included published information or grey literature announcements for clinical results. We also include dosing used in clinical trials or reported in cases or case series, clinical trials for the drug, and information on expanded access programs if one exists. Our COVID-19 pages can be accessed by clicking on the link below or through the drop-down menu under COVID-19.
Current Updates for COVID-19
Vaccines being developed to prevent COVID-19
Antivirals being developed to treat COVID-19
Blood-derived products under evaluation for the treatment of COVID-19
Anti-Inflammatories being tested to treat cytokine storm associated with severe and critical COVID-19
Remdesivir Expanded Summary
Chloroquine & Hydroxychloroquine Expanded Summary
COVID-19 Preparedness Resources
The NIH provides guidelines for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 that are continuously updated. A list of updates and recommendations by date of publication are provided to help health care practitioners stay current. The guidelines include an Overview of Therapeutic Management of Patients with COVID-19, based on disease severity. There is also a review of evidence that supports or refutes the use of therapies and a recommendation by NIH for or against use of the therapies.
Current treatment recommendations are organized by severity of disease in an easy-to-use graphic.

- Non-hospitalized or hospitalized patients not on supplemental oxygen should not receive remdesivir or dexamethasone
- Hospitalized patients requiring supplemental oxygen, but not high flow oxygen or ventilation should receive remdesivir for five days. The duration can be extended for up to ten days and dexamethasone added. Dexamethasone alone can be used if remdesivir is not available.
- Hospitalized patients requiring high-flow oxygen or non-invasive ventilation should receive 5-10 days of remdesivir and dexamethasone or dexamethasone for up to ten days
- Hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilation or ECMO dexamethasone for up to ten days or 5-10 days of remdesivir and dexamethasone in patients that have recently been intubated.
