Although itolizumab has a similar mechanism of action to tocilizumab, no available study compares the two drugs in the management of COVID-19.” should be replaced by “Some studies have shown promising results with itolizumab, but there are limited randomized controlled trials comparing itolizumab with tocilizumab or control in the management of COVID-19 [1,2].”
2. Discussion
“First, it is the first study to compare itolizumab with tocilizumab in the treatment of COVID-19.” should be replaced by “First, we conducted this study on a large population as compared to previous studies [1,2].”
