ABSTRACT
As no definitive therapy or vaccine is yet available for COVID-19, in a desperate attempt repurposed drugs are being explored as an option. A drug repurposing study identified Ciclesonide as a potential candidate. We reviewed the available evidence and clinical trials on the use of Ciclesonide in COVID-19. At present the evidence is limited to a report of three cases. However, five clinical trials are underway, and their results will help in elucidating the role of Ciclesonide in COVID-19.
