Summary

This trial is testing if a drug can help patients with COVID-19 by activating the body's response to the virus.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with moderate COVID-19 confirmed by standard tests, experiencing symptoms like shortness of breath or increased heart rate. They must have an oxygen saturation over 93% without assistance and not be severely ill. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with serious illnesses, allergies, bleeding tendencies, or prohibited from using biologics cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new therapeutic biologic called Spike-GM-CSF Protein in a solution known as Lactated Ringer's Injection to see if it can help the body's immune cells fight off COVID-19 more effectively by targeting multiple virus strains.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site, flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills, fatigue, headache and possible allergic responses due to activation of the immune system.
