Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Feasibility of Amniotic Fluid as a Treatment for COVID-19 Patients (NCT NCT04497389)

NCT ID: NCT04497389

Last Updated: 2023-12-21

Results Overview

Assess reduction of inflammation in COVID-19 patients, potentially leading to a decrease in the need for critical care. This will be assessed by measurement of C-reactive protein levels before and after the intervention. Units: mg/dL
