as potential treatment for early stages of COVID-19 in further studies&#46; However&#44; some corrections are warranted&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors presented two points of criticism&#58; &#40;i&#41; the possibility that the effects of telmisartan in COVID-19 could be caused&#44; not only by blockade of angiotensin II receptor type 1 &#40;AT1R&#41;&#44; but also by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor &#947; &#40;PPAR&#947;&#41; activation&#44; and &#40;ii&#41; their understanding that we suggested disregarding evidence-based medicine in the face of the pandemic&#46;</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We agree that telmisartan and other ARBs cause PPAR&#947; activation&#44; but this occurs with concentrations 1000 times higher than their effects on AT1R &#40;pA2 at AT1R&#61;8&#46;4&#8211;9&#46;4&#59; EC<span class="elsevierStyleInf">50</span> at PPAR&#947;&#61;5&#46;02 &#956;M&#41;&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#44;3</span></a> If we look closely at the pharmacokinetics of telmisartan&#44; the plasma levels needed to cause 50&#37; PPAR&#947; activation would correspond to the C<span class="elsevierStyleInf">max</span> value after the administration of a single dose of 320 mg&#47;telmisartan for a seven-day period&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> Therefore&#44; it is unlikely that plasma concentrations reached with telmisartan 80 mg twice daily&#44; used in the telmisartan study would be sufficient to cause a sustained activation of PPAR&#947; and explain the beneficial effects in COVID patients&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Kow et al&#46; are correct that telmisartan &#40;up to 80 mg daily&#41; is used in hypertension&#46; This is probably because initial dosing studies of telmisartan showed a relative flat dose&#8211;response curve&#58; the anti-hypertensive effect caused by 80 mg was statistically significant higher&#44; but not clinically relevant&#44; when compared to 40 mg&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5&#44;6</span></a> As an antagonist&#44; telmisartan 40 mg may be sufficient to block the angiotensin II &#40;ANG2&#41; levels in hypertensive patients&#46; However&#44; when excessive production of ANG2 is expected&#44; as we anticipate in the lungs of COVID-19 patients&#44; the highest ever tested doses of ARBs should be used to block ANG2 binding to AT1R&#44; which supports at least the 80 mg twice daily regime&#46; From a mechanistic point of view&#44; testing low or middle doses of ARBs to reduce the severity of COVID-19 is not only useless&#44; but also should be deemed as unethical because the treatment failure is predictable even before starting the study&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Kow et al&#46; showed some reluctancy to accept our suggestion that&#44; in a pandemic situation&#44; more pragmatic approaches to drug development should be followed&#46; We have never suggested that evidence-based practice should be disregarded&#46; In fact&#44; our research team comprises mechanistic and clinical pharmacologists&#44; some of whom with a large experience in evidence gathering and dozens of published systematic reviews and meta-analyses&#46; It is this combination of mechanistic and clinical approach we are highlighting in our paper when we criticize the simplistic conception of evidence as an exercise of introducing data into a computer to obtain a pooled effect size measure&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We also recognize the important role of randomized controlled trials &#40;RCTs&#41;

other RCTs and observational studies testing telmisartan or other ARBs in COVID-19 were published&#46; Some of them reported positive effects on hospitalization or mortality<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> but others failed&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8&#8211;10</span></a> And this is where the combination of mechanistic and clinical pharmacology could play a crucial role&#44;

&#40;i&#41; the possibility that the effects of telmisartan in COVID-19 could be caused&#44; not only by blockade of angiotensin II receptor type 1 &#40;AT1R&#41;&#44; but also by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor &#947;

it is unlikely that plasma concentrations reached with telmisartan 80 mg twice daily&#44; used in the telmisartan study would be sufficient to cause a sustained activation of PPAR&#947; and explain the beneficial effects in COVID patients&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Kow et al&#46; are correct that telmisartan &#40;up to 80 mg daily&#41; is used in hypertension&#46; This is probably because initial dosing studies of telmisartan showed a relative flat dose&#8211;response curve&#58; the anti-hypertensive effect caused by 80 mg was statistically significant higher&#44; but not clinically relevant&#44; when compared to 40 mg&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5&#44;6</span></a> As an antagonist&#44; telmisartan 40 mg may be sufficient to block the angiotensin II &#40;ANG2&#41; levels in hypertensive patients&#46; However&#44; when excessive production of ANG2 is expected&#44; as we anticipate in the lungs of COVID-19 patients&#44; the highest ever tested doses of ARBs should be used to block ANG2 binding to AT1R&#44; which supports at least the 80 mg twice daily regime&#46; From a mechanistic point of view&#44; testing low or middle doses of ARBs to reduce the severity of COVID-19 is not only useless&#44; but also should be deemed as unethical because the treatment failure is predictable even before starting the study&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Kow et al&#46; showed some reluctancy to accept our suggestion that&#44; in a pandemic situation&#44; more pragmatic approaches to drug development should be followed&#46; We have never suggested that evidence-based practice should be disregarded&#46; In fact&#44; our research team comprises mechanistic and clinical pharmacologists&#44; some of whom with a large experience in evidence gathering and dozens of published systematic reviews and meta-analyses&#46; It is this combination of mechanistic and clinical approach we are highlighting in our paper when we criticize the simplistic conception of evidence as an exercise of introducing data into a computer to obtain a pooled effect size measure&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We also recognize the important role of randomized controlled trials &#40;RCTs&#41;
