The pandemic has also triggered numerous global initiatives to tackle the newly emerging disease, including the development of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and the attempt to discover potential pharmacological therapies. Nonetheless, despite the success of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development, COVID-19 therapy remains challenging. Several repurposed drugs that were documented to be useful in small clinical trials have been shown to be ineffective in larger studies. Additionally, the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 infection displayed the predominance of hyperinflammation and immune dysregulation in inducing multiorgan damage. Therefore, the potential benefits of both immune modulation and suppression in COVID-19 have been extensively discussed. Here, we reviewed the roles of immunomodulation as potential COVID-19 pharmacological modalities based on the existing data and proposed several new immunologic targets to be tested in the foreseeable future.Keywords: COVID-19, immunomodulation, immunology, immune system, pharmacotherapy, coronavirus, drug repurposingHertanto DMWiratama BSSutanto HWungu CDKDove Medical Pressarticlecovid-19immunomodulationimmunologyimmune systempharmacotherapycoronavirusdrug repurposingPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
