Abstract

Cancer patients are likely to have more severe COVID and need hospital, ICU or die than the general population. Risk of drug reactions will stop them entering other trials.This trial has many points where a patient could join: preventing COVID with antivirus nose spray; higher dose after COVID exposure; treatment of moderate COVID; treatment for impending severe COVID. Each will be compared to inactive treatment. Results will be continually checked to see if the study should stop or be adjusted.
