OBJECTIVE:To explore an effective method to formulate management-related strategies for off-lable use of drugs by the evidence-based medicine. METHODS:The process of guideline formulation included seven procedures,i.g. establishment ofguideliesformulation workgroup;investigation and selection of the status quo on off-label drug use;identification of the clinical problems;retrieval and evaluation and comprehensing of evidence;applification of GRADE in evidence quality grading;formation of the recommendations consensus;peer review and result publication. And eventually guidelines were formed based on the steps. This study took off-label use of rheumatoid immunoprotective subjects as a case to explore. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:Based on the evidence evaluation system and above 7 steps,the methods and process of guideline formulation on off-label use of rheuma-toid immunoprotective subjects that integrated administration,law,clinical medicine,pharmacy subjects were made .The process of guideline formulation fully reflects multidisciplinary characteristics of the workgroup,the advanced nature of the process,the comprehensiveness of evidence ,the rigor of evidence quality grading,and the normalization of consensus. It provides reference in methodology for establishing a comprehensive evidence-based evaluation and management system of off-label use of drugs for all clinical specialist disease. Therefore,this scientific research results may promote the standardization and legalization of the off-label use of drugs management in China.

Antiviral therapy is important for COVID-19. Currently, the anti-2019-nCoV drugs in clinical trials include broad-spectrum antiviral drugs (alpha interferon and ribavirin), hemagglutinin inhibitors (arbidol), human immunodeficiency virus protease inhibitors (lopinavir/ritonavir and darunavir/cobicistat), nucleoside analogues (favipiravir and remdesivir) and antimalarial drug (chloroquine); while liver damage may occur in some patients with the medication. This article reviews the research on liver damage associated with anti-2019-nCoV drugs, aiming at promoting the safe and effective antiviral therapy for COVID-19 patients.

The most important treatment of anti 2019 novel coronavirus is antiviral and supportive treatment. Currently, the anti novel coronavirus drugs in clinical trials include broad-spectrum antiviral drugs (Alpha interferon and Ribavirin), hemagglutinin inhibitors (Arbidol), human immunodeficiency virus protease inhibitors (Lopinavir/Ritonavir and Darunavir/Cobicistat), nucleoside analogues (Favipiravir and Remdesivir) and antimalarial drug (chloroquine), however, some patients suffered from liver damage during the actual usage. This article reviews the research on liver damage associated with anti novel coronavirus drugs, aiming at promoting the rational, safe and effective use of anti novel coronavirus drugs.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has occasioned worldwide alarm. Globally, the number of reported confirmed cases has exceeded 84.3 million as of this writing (January 2, 2021). Since there are no targeted therapies for COVID-19, the current focus is the repurposing of drugs approved for other uses. In some clinical trials, antiviral drugs such as remdesivir (Grein et al., 2020), lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) (Cao et al., 2020), chloroquine (Gao et al., 2020), hydroxychloroquine (Gautret et al., 2020), arbidol (Wang et al., 2020), and favipiravir (Cai et al., 2020b) have shown efficacy in COVID-19 patients. LPV/r combined with arbidol, which is the basic regimen in some regional hospitals in China including Zhejiiang Province, has shown antiviral effects in COVID-19 patients (Guo et al., 2020; Xu et al., 2020). A retrospective cohort study also reported that this combination therapy showed better efficacy than LPV/r alone for the treatment of COVID-19 patients (Deng et al., 2020).

Severe and critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were usually with underlying diseases, which led to the problems of complicated drug use, potential drug-drug interactions and medication errors in special patients. Based on ( 6), and -19: , we summarized the experience in the use of antiviral drugs, corticosteroids, vascular active drugs, antibacterial, probiotics, nutrition support schemes in severe and critically ill COVID-19 patients. It is also suggested to focus on medication management for evaluation of drug efficacy and duration of treatment, prevention and treatment of adverse drug reactions, identification of potential drug-drug interactions, individualized medication monitoring based on biosafety protection, and medication administration for special patients.
