Lead Sponsor:
EOM Pharmaceuticals
Conditions:
COVID-19 Pneumonia
COVID-19 Respiratory Infection
Eligibility:
All Genders
18-84 years
Phase:
PHASE1
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of EOM613, a peptide nucleic acid with novel immune-modulating properties, in treating patients with severe C...
Detailed Description
Much of the morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 infection is thought to be the result of an overly zealous attack by the immune system (e.g., cytokine storm and IL-6 elevations) as it attempts to coun...
