Experimental COVID-19 therapy targets cancer patients
NCT ID NCT03305341
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a biologic treatment for 20 people with moderate COVID-19 who also have controlled cancer. The treatment aims to help the immune system recognize and kill the virus. Researchers will check if the virus clears and if the immune response improves.

* Conducting an initial small, controlled trial to assess therapeutic biologics activity (proof-of-concept) that suggests the potential for clinical benefit of COVID-19 patients with controlled cancers. * 20 Moderate COVID-19 patients with controlled cancers Inclusion Criteria: * Controlled Cancers * Moderate COVID-19 * Positive testing by standard RT-PCR assay or equivalent testing * Symptoms of moderate illness with COVID-19, which could include any symptom of mild illness or shortness of breath with exertion * Clinical signs suggestive of moderate illness with COVID-19, such as respiratory rate ≥ 20 breaths per minute, saturation of oxygen (SpO2) \> 93% on room air at sea level, heart rate ≥ 90 beats per minute * No clinical signs indicative of Severe or Critical Illness Severity Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Uncontrolled Cancers * 2\. Severe or Critical Illness Severity * 3\. Pregnancy * 4\. Breast-feeding * 5\. The patients with other serious inter-current illness * 6\. Serious Allergy * 7\. Serious Bleed Tendency * 8\. The prohibition of the biological product
