This study randomly assigned participants who were enrolled within 96 hours after a household contact received a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection to receive a total dose of 1200mg of REGEN-COV or matching placebo administered by means of subcutaneous injection.

In this article the authors hypothesized that therapeutic-dose anticoagulation may improve outcomes in noncritically ill patients who are hospitalized with COVID-19.

In this open-label, adaptive, multiplatform, randomized clinical trial, critically ill COVID-19 patients were randomly assigned to a regimen of either therapeutic-dose anticoagulation with heparin or pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis in accordance with local usual care.

In this trial, the authors assigned COVID-19 patients to receive either one unit of convalescent plasma with a high titer of antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or a placebo.
