  • Publication number: 20240075055
    Abstract: Methods for treating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, are described. The methods can be used to reduce the severity of outcomes related to COVID-19, such as hospitalization and ventilation. For example, the methods can involve treatment of a subject with a therapeutic agent that degrades hyaluronan and/or an agent that neutralizes a hyaluronan receptor, e.g., CD44, such as an anti-CD44 antibody.
