Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study is to assess the potential therapeutic effect of N-acetylcysteine "NAC" in COVID 19 patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a phase 3 trial enrolling subjects with newly diagnosed Corona virus disease 2019 ( COVID-19) infection who are classified as moderate cases and require hospitalization. Patients meeting eligibility criteria will be randomized either to receive oral N-acetylcysteine or not along with the institution treatment protocol . Treatment efficacy will be assessed using certain endpoints as follows:

1. Markers of inflammation and oxidative stress
2. Length of hospital stay
3. Need for ventilation
4. Mortality rate
