Abstract

The researchers will investigate whether a known Japanese heartburn drug could slow down COVID-19 by reducing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the body. The drug has previously been proven to have an effect on SARS, which shares certain similarities with the new coronavirus, in mice. 180 patients in Danish hospitals will participate in the trial.
