Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Over 19 years of age
  2. COVID-19 confirmed by a real-time RT-PCR tests 4 days prior to clinical trial enrollment
  3. Patients with peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SPO2) greater than 94% at the time of screening
  4. Patients whose body temperature is measured according to the measured area without taking a fever reducer during screening:

    [armpit of greater than 37.0 °C or an oral of greater than 37.2 °C; Patients with rectum greater than 37.6 °C or eardrum greater than 37.5 °C] (Notes: Although you take a fever reducer, you can still be enrolled in after investigator's judgement whether there is fever or not.)

  5. Patients with evidence of lung invasions as a result of radiation tests

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients who need breathing device (for example, Invasive ventilation, Invasive mechanical ventilation, Extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation).
  2. Patients who participated in other clinical trials related to COVID-19.
  3. Patients who were administered drugs directly to COVID-19 24 hours prior to the start of the study.
  4. Patients whose AST or ALT has increased by more than 5 times the normal lab value.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The rate of subjects tested as negative SARS-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)

    The primary efficacy endpoint for this clinical trial is the rate of patients with negative SARS-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a two-day continuous Real-Time-RT-PCR test from baseline to before the 15th day.

    Time frame: within 15days

Secondary outcomes

  1. The rate of subjects tested as negative SARS-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in consecutive two days of Real-Time RT-PCR tests

    Time frame: Day 4, 8, 11, 15, 22, 29(or EOT) day comparing the baseline

  2. The rate of subjects indicated by the improvement of lung invasive

    Time frame: within Day 29 (or EOT)

  3. The change of viral load

    Time frame: Day 4, 8, 11, 15, 22, and 29(or EOT) comparing the baseline
