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...
