Authors: Cadegiani FA, McCoy J, Zimerman A, Mirza FN, Barros RN doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.06.22.21259318 Abstract Background Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infectivity is mediated by the androgen-promoted protease, transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2). Previously, we have shown that treatment with proxalutamide, a non-steroidal androgen receptor antagonist, accelerates viral clearance and [...]
