This study demonstrated that the combination inhalation of IFN-k and TFF2 is able to shorten the time of viral RNA negative conversion and CT improvement, and facilitating patients early discharge from the hospital, in the absence of induction of a proinflammatory response and treatment-related adverse events. The primary endpoint was a significantly shorter time (Mean 3¢80 days, 95% CI 2¢07À5¢53) from the start of the study treatment to viral RNA negative conversion for SARS-CoV-2 in all clinical samples, including nasopharyngeal swabs, throat swabs and stool swabs, in experimental group than in control group (7¢40 days, 95% CI 4¢57À10¢23) (p = 0¢031), and difference between means was 3¢60 days (Fig. 2A) . ./cache/cord-289101-ko1knslk.txt ./txt/cord-289101-ko1knslk.txt
