Journal: Achieving end-to-end success in the clinic: Pfizer's learnings on R&D productivity. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 11, 2022 Pfizer's Signs of Clinical Activity (SOCA) paradigm enabled better decision-making and, along with other drivers (biology and modality), contributed to this productivity improvement. These laid a strong foundation for the rapid and effective development of the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine with BioNTech, as well as the antiviral candidate Paxlovid™, under the company's 'lightspeed' paradigm.

Preclinical, Journal: Reproductive and developmental safety of nirmatrelvir (PF-07321332), an oral SARS-CoV-2 M inhibitor in animal models. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 11, 2022 The lack of adverse findings reported here in nonclinical species is consistent with the intended therapeutic target of NMV (a virus specific protein not present in mammalian cells), the favorable off-target selectivity profile, and lack of genetic toxicity. The results of these nonclinical studies with NMV along with existing ritonavir safety information indicate that there are no clinically relevant risks associated with PAXLOVID administration during pregnancy and in males and females of reproductive age.

We searched PubMed [December 21, 2021] to identify relevant publications using the string: “(mild OR moderate) AND (COVID OR coronavirus 2019 OR COVID19) AND (bamlanivimab OR estesevimab OR sotrovimab OR casirivimab OR imdevimab OR REGN-COV2) OR (paxlovid) OR (molnupiravir) ” . Potential impacts on productivity and patient costs suggest that therapies for mild/moderate COVID-19 should be assessed with evaluations that include the patient-informed value elements .
