Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Coronavirus
• Interventions: Device: UV Light Treatment

• Registration Number: NCT04572399
• Lead Sponsor: Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

Brief Summary

This pilot study will assess the safety and effectiveness of UV light treatment in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

Detailed Description

This is a single center, open label, pilot study. 5 adult patients, aged over 18, who are confirmed positive with SARS-CoV-2 and are newly intubed, will receive UV light treatment to reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral load.
