Treatment of Angiotensin Peptide (1-7) for COVID-19

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
COVID-19
Registration Number
NCT04375124
Lead Sponsor
Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital
Brief Summary

Novel Coronavirus is reported to cause COVID-19, recently. It's known that this virus uses ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) 2 receptors to enter human cells and also blocks the activity of ACE 2. Upon these data the investigators hypothesize that, mortal hyper-inflammation state which is shown in COVID-19 cases, can be a result of angiotensin peptide (1-7) deficiency. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the possible effect of angiotensin peptide (1-7) supplementation on treatment of COVID-19 cases.

Upon these data the investigators hypothesize that, mortal hyper-inflammation state which is shown in COVID-19 cases, can be a result of angiotensin peptide (1-7) deficiency. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the possible effect of plasma derived angiotensin peptide (1-7) supplementation on treatment of COVID-19 cases.
