COVID-19 leads to mortality of several patients and the cytokine storm is reportedly critical in the patients. To reduce the cytokine storm, we would like to propose the interleukin (IL) 6 receptor (IL-6R) antagonist therapy for the COVID-19 patients. Two humanized monoclonal antibodies are in clinical trial following IL-6R antagonist therapies namely tocilizumab and sarilumab. However, researchers and physicians should look for more IL-6R antagonists for the therapy of cytokine storm syndrome severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infected persons to enhance the therapeutic options for cytokine storm.
COVID-19 导致多名患者死亡,据报道细胞因子风暴在患者中至关重要。为了减少细胞因子风暴,我们希望为 COVID-19 患者提出白细胞介素(IL)6 受体(IL-6R)拮抗剂治疗方法。两种人源化单克隆抗体是在临床试验中紧随 IL-6R 拮抗剂疗法之后的,即托珠单抗和沙利鲁单抗。然而,研究人员和医生应该寻找更多的 IL-6R 拮抗剂来治疗细胞因子风暴综合征严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 感染患者,以增强细胞因子风暴的治疗选择。
