Patients treated at home:
-
Group I (experimental 1): Nebulization with Homeostec (5 ml) + Paracetamol (500 mg). The patient will receive a bottle with 5 ml of Homeostec (electrolysed solution with neutral pH), which will be placed in the nebulizer container. The patient will receive sprays for 15 min, four times a day for 7 days. In addition, you can take Paracetamol 500 mg (orally) every 6 hours.Other medications may be added at the discretion of the treating physician as deemed necessary for the patient.

Group II (experimental 2): Nebulization with Homeostec (5 ml) + Paracetamol (500 mg) + Homeostec intravenously (15 ml, with dose escalation). The patient will receive a bottle with 5 ml of Homeostec (neutral pH electrolyzed solution), which will be placed in the nebulizer container. The patient will receive sprays for 15 min, four times a day for 7 days. Additionally, 15 ml of Homeostec will be administered intravenously loaded in a 20 ml syringe. The solution will be applied to an arm vein using a butterfly-type IV application catheter connected to the syringe, in a period of 1 to 2 min, once every 24 hours for 7 days, by research personnel who will visit the patient in his home. The initial intravenous dose of 15ml per day will have successive increments, before reaching dose-limiting toxicity, or until a dose was found that prevented disease progression. In addition, you can take Paracetamol 500 mg (orally) every 6 hours. Other medications may be added at the discretion of the treating physician as deemed necessary for the patient.

Group III (control 1, usual medical care): Paracetamol (500 mg). The patient will receive Paracetamol 500 mg (orally) every 6 hours. Other medications may be added at the discretion of the treating physician as deemed necessary for the patient. For group I and II: If there is nausea, vomiting and / or diarrhea, 30 ml of oral Homeostec is added, 4 times a day, for as long as symptoms lasted, plus 2 more days after symptoms disappeared. In patients with oropharyngeal ulcerations (causing intense throat pain), the indication is to gargle with 10 ml of Homeostec, 6 times a day, and swallow the solution after gargling with it. This is done for the number of days necessary for the pain to decrease.

Hospitalized patients (Includes patients on a regular floor or intensive care unit, with or without mechanical ventilation):
-
+
Group IV (experimental 3): Homeostec intravenously (maximum dose achieved in dose escalation in patients treated at home) + usual medical care.

Changes to Summary study
-
On August 28, the report with the first results of the clinical trial was submitted to the journal BMC Infectious Diseases. As of September 9, the status of the manuscript is "Editorial Assessment", hoping to move to the review phase soon. Until today, September 9, there are data on the effect of the experimental treatment on “Patients treated at home”, of which the results are mentioned below.
  
-
Participant flow: Ninety-eight patients were randomized and screened. A total of 45 patients in the experimental group (experimental 1 + 2 groups) and 39 patients in the control group agreed to participate in the study, completed it, and were analyzed
  
-
Baseline characteristics: 39 patients were included in Group III (control 1, usual medical care); 45 patients in Groups I and II (experimental groups 1 and 2). Control vs Experimetal groups: Women: 46.2% vs 46.7% (p = 0.568); Age (years) 46 ± 16.3 vs 48 ± 12.9 (P = 0.512); BMI: 30.1 ± 4.4 vs 28.9 ± 4.6 (P = 0.256); Diabetes: 12.8% vs 11.1% (0.536); High blood pressure: 17.9% vs 20.0% (P = 0.517); Smoking: 2.6% vs 8.9% (P = 0.228); Progression time in days: 4.1 ± 1.6 vs 4.8 ± 3.4 (P = 0.196); Patient overall self-assessment or symptom severity score (self-assessed using a 10-point VAS): 7.0 ± 3.0 vs 6.3 ± 2.3 (P = 0.244).
  
-
Outcome measures: Disease progression (present or absent). In the control group, 30.8% of the patients had disease progression (hospitalization), compared with 11.1% of the patients receiving the experimental therapy (P = 0.020). 12.8% of the patients in the control group died, while no patients in the experimental groups died (P = 0.019). Control group patients reached an acceptable state of their symptoms (median) on day 11, patients in experimental group 1 (Nebulization with Homeostec + Paracetamol) recovered on day 7, and the highest dose tested in experimental group 2 ( Nebulization with Homeostec + Homeostec intravenously, with dose escalation) was on day 2. The highest doses of Homeostec intravenously were 30ml / day and 30ml every 12 hours, for 7 days.
  
-
Adverse events: No serious adverse events were found by the administration of Homeostec. Some mild events did occur: 1 patient did not tolerate nebulizations and discontinued them on day 2. Two patients reported transitory dizziness lasting for 10 min, after the intravenous application of the experimental solution. It was self-limited and controlled by lying down. There were no alterations in blood cell parameters, serum biochemical tests of liver and kidney function.
