Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Treatments for COVID-19 are urgently needed. Emricasan (EMR) is a pan caspase inhibitor. Caspase-1 plays a role in a form of cell death called pyroptosis. EMR inhibits pyroptosis. The Investigators have shown that peripheral blood lymphocytes of COVID-19 patients overexpress caspase-1, providing evidence for pyroptosis. A recent European study corroborate the Investigators finding as they have shown evidence for the activation of the inflammasome in COVID-19.
