Abstract

The current coronavirus pandemic is highly contagious and carries a significant risk of death. We propose to test a commonly used inflammatory tablet Colchicine and a novel, biodegradable particle which reduces inflamed cells in the hope that this can improve outcomes. The trial will include 240 people needing oxygen treatment and hospital care for the infection. An expert committee together with consumer representatives will oversee the research.
