Early COVID-19 treatment trial for vulnerable cancer patients halted

NCT ID NCT04379518

Summary

This early-stage study tested whether two immune-stimulating drugs (rintatolimod and interferon) could help cancer patients fight off COVID-19 infections. The trial aimed to find safe doses and see if the treatment reduced the amount of virus in patients. It was designed for adults with cancer who had mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms, but the study was terminated after enrolling only 4 people.
