Another cytokine-blocking agent currently under study in COVID-19 is the antibody against IL-1 (canakimumab), which is well known by cardiologists as a cardioprotective agent in high-risk patients [109]; another drug under study is tocilizumab, which is an antibody that competitively inhibits the binding of IL-6 to its receptor (IL-6R) just used by oncologists to reduce pulmonary distress in cancer patients during immune checkpoint inhibitors [137,138]. This evidence concerns the gene IL6R and COVID-19.
