Official title

Selenium as a Potential Treatment for Moderately-ill, Severely-ill, and Critically-ill COVID-19 Patients

Brief summary

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

Given its anti-viral, anti-oxidative, immune-enhancing, cytokine-modulating, and anticoagulant properties, the investigators hypothesize that Selenium infusion at supranutritional doses for moderately-ill, severely-ill, and critically-ill COVID-19 patients will prevent further clinical deterioration thus decreasing overall mortality and improving survival. To test this hypothesis, a prospective, single-center, phase II trial is proposed to assess the efficacy of Selenium in hospitalized adult patients with moderate, severe, and critical COVID-19 infections.
