Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this randomized controlled clinical trial, defined cases of COVID-19 with mild, moderate, or severe pneumonia (according to the NIH guideline) were treated with conventional treatment regimens (controls) as well as in combination with oral administration of colchicine plus herbal phenolic monoterpene fractions (intervention arm). After randomization, each group received the mentioned treatments and were evaluated for different variables including mortality, hospitalization duration, intensive care unit (ICU) administration ratios as well as laboratory variables such as leukocytes and lymphocytes count. The follow-up period considered as 2 weeks after discharge. The mentioned variables were assessed as before and after receiving the treatment in each group as well as intergroup analysis for comparing both baseline and final values.
