Abstract

The project examines whether treatment with the drug senicapoc may lower the need for use of ventilators during the course of the COVID disease. The goal of the project is to examine whether such treatment may hinder the onset of acute respiratory syndrome and hinder lung damages associated with the COVID-19-infection. The impact of the project may be a relief of the health system's resources during COVID-19.
