Ceftaroline fosamil demonstrated high clinical cure and microbiological response rates in hospitalized patients with CAP of PORT risk class III or IV. Ceftaroline fosamil was well tolerated, with a safety profile similar to that of ceftriaxone and consistent with the cephalosporin class. In this study, ceftaroline fosamil was an effective and well-tolerated treatment option for CAP.

Molnupiravir is an orally acting novel small-molecule prodrug that acts against Covid-19 by inducing viral mutations to a threshold beyond which it cannot replicate. In a small, double-blind, dose-escalation, trial in non-hospitalized adults with mild/moderate Covid-19 with symptom onset less than 7 days before trial randomization, molnupiravir had with no apparent dose-related effect on adverse events or laboratory tests in relation to dose or treatment. Of the participants receiving molnupiravir 3.1% were hospitalized or died compared with 5.4% treated with placebo.
