To understand the possible role of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies and other antiviral interventions in patients hospitalized for COVID-19, the National Institute of Health established the ACTIV-3 (Therapeutics for Inpatients with COVID-19) platform, for conducting efficient trials. CTSN has participated in designing and conducting the ACTIV-3 trials. ACTIV3/TICO is designed as a platform for simultaneous blinded placebo-controlled randomized trials of therapeutics in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, utilizing a shared control group.
