Advances in antivirals for non‐influenza respiratory virus infections 2013-11-01 .txt text/plain 5748 281 33 Most of the treatment data regarding antivirals for non-influenza respiratory viruses have been derived from observational studies in immunocompromised hosts, and sometimes, infants, but recent randomized, controlled trials in specific target populations have helped to address the potential value of antiviral interventions. 12, [17] [18] [19] In addition, systematic reviews of the observational reports concluded that the common use of multiple agents in combination, varying dose regimens, paucity of studies with systematic data collection, complications from immunosuppressive therapy, and the lack of randomized, controlled trials meant that existing data were inconclusive with regard to putative antivirals and thus inadequate to determine appropriate management of SARS infections. In addition, one approved agent for selected parasitic infections, oral nitazoxanide, may have interferon-inducing properties, is inhibitory for various respiratory viruses including influenza and a canine CoV in vitro, 32 and has shown promising dose-related activity in a phase 2, placebo-controlled, randomized trial in treating uncomplicated influenza 33 Consequently, nitazoxanide would be an interesting agent to test alone and in combination with other antivirals for CoV infections. ./cache/cord-342915-r9kv67we.txt ./txt/cord-342915-r9kv67we.txt
