Some 93% of 90 coronavirus serious patients treated in several Greek hospitals with a new drug developed by a team at Tel Aviv’s Sourasky Medical Center as part of the Phase II trial of the treatment were discharged in five days or fewer.
The Phase II trial confirmed the results of Phase I, which was conducted in Israel last winter and saw 29 out of 30 patients in moderate to serious condition recover within days.
“The main goal of this study was to verify that the drug is safe,” Prof. Nadir Arber said. “To this day we have not registered any significant side effect in any patient from both groups.”
The trial was conducted in Athens because Israel did not have enough relevant patients. The principal investigator was Greece’s coronavirus commissioner, Prof. Sotiris Tsiodras.
Arber and his team, including Dr. Shiran Shapira, developed the drug based on a molecule that the professor has been studying for 25 years called CD24, which is naturally present in the body.
“It is important to remember that 19 out of 20 COVID-19 patients do not need any therapy,” Arber said. “After a window of five to 12 days, some 5% of the patients start to deteriorate.”
The main cause of the clinical deterioration is an over activation of the immune system, also known as a cytokine storm. In case of COVID-19 patients, the system starts attacking healthy cells in the lungs. “This is exactly the problem that our drug targets,” he said.
CD24 is a small protein that is anchored to the membrane of the cells and it serves many functions including regulating the mechanism responsible for the cytokine storm.
Arber stressed that their treatment, EXO-CD24, does not affect the immune system as a whole, but only targets this specific mechanism, helping find again its correct balance.
“This is precision medicine,” he said. “We are very happy that we have found a tool to tackle the physiology of the disease.”
“Steroids for example shut down the entire immune system,” he further explained. “We are balancing the part responsible for the cytokine storms using the endogenous mechanism of the body, meaning tools offered by the body itself.”
Arber noted that another breakthrough element of this treatment is its delivery.
“We are employing exosomes, very small vesicles derived from the membrane of the cells which are responsible for the exchange of information between them,” he said.
“By managing to deliver them exactly where they are needed, we avoid many side effects,” he added. The team is now ready to launch the last phase of the study.
“As promising as the findings of the first phases of a treatment can be, no one can be sure of anything until results are compared to the ones of patients who receive a placebo,” he said.
Some 155 coronavirus patients will take part in the study. Two-thirds of them will be administered the drug, and one-third a placebo.
The study will be conducted in Israel and it might be also carried out in other places if the number of patients in the country will not suffice.
“We hope to complete it by the end of the year,” Arber said.
If the results are confirmed, he vowed that the treatment can be made available relatively quickly and at a low cost.
“In addition, a success could pave the wave to treat many other diseases,” he concluded.
Doesn’t matter. Get jabbed.
If Bill Gates and Tony Fauxi can’t make money from it - it will be banned.
Your reasoning ought to lead golks to realuize there is a hidden agenda behind these jab experiments. When the globalist masters invent a jab system of genetic altering mRNA and force everyone to be in the test trials regardless of side efects, there is something nefarious afoot. As proof of that, recall that medications that worked to reduce viral load were scorned BEFORE the jabs were even qavailable!
good man
you keep hitting the target
If only we had a sufficiently contrite Bad Orange Man willing to help us deplorables...
The reset is the agenda. And the globalist oligarchy is not even trying g to hide it anymore.
A certain 45th President need only admit that he was used by the same cabal and promise to redouble his efforts to defeat the deep state to recapture 99 percent of the prior support he enjoyed and perhaps much more, leading to huge electoral consequences as early as this fall and a certain return to the White House NLT Jan. 2025.
"The treatment is a biologic therapeutic agent based on exosomes carrying CD24. The rationale for this treatment is that exosomes overexpressing CD24, isolated and purified from T-REx™-293 cells engineered to express CD24 at high levels, can suppress the cytokine storm and are delivered directly to the target organ using exosomes as a highly body-compatible delivery vehicle."
“It is important to remember that 19 out of 20 COVID-19 patients do not need any therapy,” Arber said. “After a window of five to 12 days, some 5% of the patients start to deteriorate.”
influenza is pretty much the same way ... but at least there are safe, effective and inexpensive therapeutics for C19, namely the HCQ/ivermectin/zith combo, thus it makes total sense to begin therapy as soon as covid is confirmed or even strongly suggested so that one does NOT end up in that 5% category, not to mention the disease course will be greatly shortened so one can get back to full health as quickly as possible ...
HCQ-ivermectin-azithromycin: don’t leave home without them ...
Wow. This sounds promising.
