Hydrogen-Oxygen Generator With Nebulizer for Adjuvant Treatment of Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a multi-center, randomized, parallel controlled, double-blinded clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Hydrogen-Oxygen Generator with Nebulizer for adjuvant treatment of COVID-19 patients. The test group is expected to be superior to the control group in the primary endpoint (percentage of subjects achieving clinical recovery at Day 7 of study treatment). Subjects in the test group will receive treatment by using Hydrogen-Oxygen Generator with Nebulizer (manufactured by Shanghai Asclepius Meditec Co., Ltd., flow rate: 3L/min) combined with conventional basic supportive treatment (symptomatic support treatment determined by the investigator based on the condition of the subjects); and subjects in the control group will receive treatment by using Medical Molecular Sieve Oxygen Generator (manufactured by Shanghai Ouliang Medical Devices Co., Ltd., flow rate: 3L/min, provided by the sponsor) combined with conventional basic supportive treatment (same with that in the test group).
