>Hydroxycloriquine and Remdesivir were the best hopes and in controlled studies, they aren't showing effectiveness. While an effective treatment is still possible, it will likely require a new drug to be developed and tested

For example, Camostat and Favipiravir are other candidates but not approved in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_drug_repurposing_research https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_drug_repurposing_rese...
