About
It is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study of the efficacy and safety of Tigerase® (GENERIUM JSC, Russia) with standard therapy versus standard therapy in patients with COVID-19.
Full description
COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease-19) is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The spread of the disease quickly developed to the global pandemic in March-April 2020, and was characterized by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in 10-15% of cases, which leads to a high frequency of hospitalization in the intensive care unit and high mortality. The search for effective treatment and reducing the severity of COVID-19 is a priority in the development of medical science.
One of the key processes of the innate immune system are neutrophil extracellular traps (NET), formed by neutrophils when they eject their DNA from the cytoplasm. NET is most often described as a mechanism for capturing bacteria in order to limit their spread. In addition, NET also plays a role in antiviral immunity. In particular, viral infections lung damage is at least partially due to NET.
This suggests that drug disruption of NET in COVID-19 is promising. DNase preparations, and in particular Tigerase®, are safe and effective for the treatment of cystic fibrosis and can serve as a NET destruction agent in patient with COVID-19.

Positive results of laboratory testing for HIV and hepatitis B and C
Life expectancy less than 12 months without COVID-19
Other diseases and conditions, significant laboratory or instrumental deviation, which, according to investigator opinion, may impact the results of the study, limit the patient's participation in the trial or create an unreasonable risk for the patient
Patient's unwillingness or disability to comply with the recommendations prescribed by protocol, as well as any concomitant medical or serious mental conditions that render the patient unsuitable for participation in the study, limit the legitimacy of obtaining informed consent or may affect the patient's ability to participate in the study (including disability to use a nebulizer)
Positive pregnancy test in women
