The COVID-19 outbreak is rapidly spread over the world and kills infected patients. There is no proven medication for its treatment, so, all of the medications used for treatment are considered to be off-label. Off-label uses are not under regulation in the outbreak because there is no specific regulation for this condition. In this short communication we aim at describing two ways of off-label use as clinical practice or investigational use. Further, we will describe the third way of off-label use, we named it pseudo-research and then we will state the most possible ethical challenges of off-label use for better perceptions and responsibility. The WHO considers off-label uses as country-specific. All international regulatory bodies consider off-label prescription as the physician’s responsibility and legal by necessitating some requirements. There is no international guideline for regulating investigational off-label uses as clinical practice. There are different types of approaches, none of them is comprehensive and conclusive. Furthermore, respecting the four ethical principles necessitates codification and strict regulation of off-label uses either as clinical practice or investigational. Besides, compilation of a special guideline based on ethical principles especially non-maleficence and autonomy for investigational off-label uses in disasters is highly recommended.

COVID-19 和标签外使用药物:道德观点

COVID-19 疫情迅速蔓延到世界各地,并杀死了受感染的患者。没有经过验证的药物可用于治疗,因此,所有用于治疗的药物都被认为是标签外药物。爆发期间的标签外使用不受管制,因为没有针对这种情况的具体规定。在这篇简短的交流中,我们旨在描述两种标签外使用方式作为临床实践或研究使用。此外,我们将描述标签外使用的第三种方式,我们将其命名为伪研究,然后我们将说明标签外使用的最可能的道德挑战,以获得更好的认知和责任。世卫组织认为标签外使用是针对特定国家的。所有国际监管机构都将标签外处方视为医生的责任和法律,并提出了一些要求。没有国际指南来规范作为临床实践的研究性标签外使用。有不同类型的方法,没有一种是全面的和决定性的。此外,尊重四项伦理原则需要对作为临床实践或研究的标签外使用进行编纂和严格监管。此外,强烈建议根据伦理原则,特别是非伤害性和自主性,为灾难中的研究性标签外使用编制特别指南。尊重四项伦理原则需要对临床实践或研究中的标签外使用进行编纂和严格监管。此外,强烈建议根据伦理原则,特别是非伤害性和自主性,为灾难中的研究性标签外使用编制特别指南。尊重四项伦理原则需要对临床实践或研究中的标签外使用进行编纂和严格监管。此外,强烈建议根据伦理原则,特别是非伤害性和自主性,为灾难中的研究性标签外使用编制特别指南。
