NCT ID NCT04428008

Summary

This study tested whether a drug called thymalfasin (Ta1) could help prevent COVID-19 infections in people with kidney failure who receive regular dialysis. These patients are at very high risk for severe illness. Researchers gave 262 participants injections of Ta1, which is designed to boost the immune system, to see if it reduced their chances of catching COVID-19 or made infections less severe.
