    Snippet: Currently, there are no approved therapeutics for treating or preventing COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, development of therapeutics to treat patients and mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic is urgently needed (Cascella et al., 2020; Jiang, 2020) . Several small molecules and neutralizing antibodies for treatment are in development (Li and De Clercq, 2020; Zhou et al., 2020b) . Soluble ACE2 and ACE2-Fc fusion protein have been proposed a.....
    Document: Currently, there are no approved therapeutics for treating or preventing COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, development of therapeutics to treat patients and mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic is urgently needed (Cascella et al., 2020; Jiang, 2020) . Several small molecules and neutralizing antibodies for treatment are in development (Li and De Clercq, 2020; Zhou et al., 2020b) . Soluble ACE2 and ACE2-Fc fusion protein have been proposed as decoy SARS-CoV-2 receptor therapeutic (Hofmann et al., 2004; Kruse, 2020; Lei et al., 2020) . Soluble ACE2, as a therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension, has been shown to be safe in early in-human clinical studies (Guignabert et al., 2018; Haschke et al., 2013) . A rationally designed, catalytically inactive, human ACE2 that carries one or more of the natural variants predicted to show improved binding to SARS viral S-protein RBD could be safely developed as a soluble protein with or without an Fc domain for treatment of COVID-19.
