The COVID Moonshot is a collaborative open-science project started in March 2020 with the goal of developing an un-patented oral antiviral drug to treat SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19. [1] [2] COVID Moonshot researchers are targeting the proteins needed to form functioning new viral proteins. [3]
This conditional early approval system has previously been used in Japan to accelerate the progression to market of other antiviral drugs targeting COVID-19, including remdesivir and molnupiravir. [13] In a study of 428 patients, viral load was reduced, but symptoms were not significantly reduced. [14]
The drug is being given as part of a double-barreled treatment plan that includes an antibody cocktail meant to give the president's immune system a boost to fight off the coronavirus ...

Researchers at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute are working on a drug that takes one of the virus’s most dangerous traits — its talent for mutation — and turns it back on itself.
In March 2022, the BBC wrote, "There are now many drugs that target the virus or our body in different ways: anti-inflammatory drugs that stop our immune system overreacting with deadly consequences, anti-viral drugs that make it harder for the coronavirus to replicate inside the body and antibody therapies that mimic our own immune system to ...
One antiviral strategy is to interfere with the ability of a virus to infiltrate a target cell. The virus must go through a sequence of steps to do this, beginning with binding to a specific " receptor " molecule on the surface of the host cell and ending with the virus "uncoating" inside the cell and releasing its contents.
