Effect and safety of combination of interferon alpha-2b and gamma or interferon alpha-2b for negativization of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA. Preliminary results of a randomized controlled clinical trial. 2020-08-01 .txt text/plain 5862 330 47 Conclusions: In a cohort of 63 hospitalized patients between 19 to 82 years-old with positive SARS-CoV-2, HeberFERON significantly negativized the virus on day 4 of treatment when comparing with IFN-alpha2b. The RT-PCR after treatment with IFNs on day 14 for hospital discharges was negative to SARS-CoV-2 in 100% and 91% of patients of HeberFERON and control cohorts, respectively. These results confirm the validity of early intervention with the treatment of IFNs in patients with COVID-19, whereas demonstrated in the trial, the combination of type I and type II IFNs impacts strongly in the reduction of the risk for a severe disease likely through the efficient implementation of a timely controlled inflammatory antiviral response against the SARS-CoV-2 infection.
