Table 1.

Treatments of COVID19 with potential interactions with ALL treatment.

Treatments with antiviral potential
 Hydroxychloroquine (OHQ): unproven efficacy
  does not interact with methotrexate or 6-MP
  be cautious about the use of OHQ with other agents prolonging the QTc interval such as azoles, macrolides, levofloxacin, Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors ++
 Remdesivir: unproven efficacy
  can be obtained in compassionate use in children (Gilead)
  described elevation of transaminases. No clear concept on drug interactions (check and update if co-prescription)
 combination of lopinavir/ritonavir: unproven efficacy
  may increase the concentration of methotrexate, monitoring is therefore suggested without empirical dose adjustment
  there is an interaction with vincristine. Dose reduction to be considered
  no interaction with 6 MP, daunorubicin or pegaspargase
Treatments acting on the consequences of inflammation
 tocilizumab: unproven efficacy
  no obvious interactions with chemotherapy
 anakinra: unproven efficacy
  no obvious interactions with chemotherapy
 eculizumab: unproven efficacy
  protocol in progress in adults
 corticosteroids: controversial use in the setting of SARS-Cov-2 infection
