Semi-Mechanistic Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic Model of Camostat Mesylate-Predicted Efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19

Entry of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which causes COVID-19, requires a host serine protease called TMPRSS2. Camostat mesylate, an orally available serine protease inhibitor, inhibits TMPRSS2, supporting clinical trials to investigate its use in COVID-19.

"The use of innovative modeling by Harrington gave us new insights into how to use Camostat clinically."
