简要总结
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of BEJO Red Ginger in hospitalized adult (18 - 50 years old) COVID-19 patients with mild clinical manifestations.
Subjects will be screened during hospitalization. One hundred and sixty-eight patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and meeting all criteria, will be recruited to receive either BEJO Red Ginger or placebo in addition to standard of care (SOC) in a 1:1 ratio.
Patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 and, due to mild symptoms, hospitalized, will be randomized to take a sachet of syrups containing 15 ml of BEJO Red Ginger, 3 times a day: 1 sachet after breakfast, 1 sachet after lunch, and 1 sachet after dinner, as add-on to the SOC, with 2 hours of incubation of SOC. The treatment will last for 14 days or until patients to be declared as cured. The treated patients will be compared with an equal group treated with placebo and SOC. Recovery time, symptoms, and objective (inflammatory) parameters (see detailed description) will be analyzed as outcomes. The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of BEJO Red Ginger in preventing progression of COVID-19 and accelerating healing process in patients.
