General information

Daclatasvir is a drug used for treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (e. g. in combination with Sofosbuvir). It binds to a HCV structural protein; however, its mechanism of action is not well understood (NCIt). It might disrupt the structure of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA (Sacramento et al., 2021).

Severe severity Small molecule Non-randomized controlled open trial Moderate severity
Patients 5.44

The fixed-dose with sofosbuvir significantly shortened median duration of hospitalization versus standard care. Sample size: 33 + 33 control. Dosage: 400 mg sofosbuvir and 60 mg daclatasvir in addition to standard care for 14 days. Endpoint: Clinical recovery within 14 days of enrolment (primary).
