Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to document the safety of taking traditional Chinese medicine TCM in patients with COVID-19 and to gain information to determine whether a study with TCM can be conducted The study will test a traditional Chinese medicine that has been made into a granule formulation called Xuanfei Baidu Granules
Detailed Description: Xuanfei Baidu granules XFBD is a 13 medicinal traditional Chinese medicine TCM prescription developed by Dr Zhang Boli a member of Chinese Academy of Engineering and his team and used in Wuhan China during the initial outbreak of SARS-CoV2 Based on TCM theory the 13 medicinals used mainly consist of heat-clearing and toxin-removing medicinals to reduce fever and clear viruses cough-suppressing and phlegm-transforming medicinals to thin and clear the phlegm and lung-diffusing and pant-calming to soothe the tracheal smooth muscle and relieve shortness of breath Another unique quality is one of the medicinals helps to dissipate stasis and dissolves blood clots providing a mild anticoagulant effect

Before the widespread usage of TCM nationwide China saw a progression of disease of about 10 of their mild and moderate cases while during the period with the TCM utilization the percentage dropped to 2-5 depending on the hospital Overall they saw an improvement of clinical symptoms Due to the challenges of the rapidly evolving outbreak these are clinical observations and not evidence from a controlled study

The purpose of this initial pilot study is to document the safety of taking a TCM in patients with COVID-19 and to gain information to determine whether a study with TCM can be conducted in the US The study will test a TCM which has been made into a granule formulation called XFBD

This is a randomized double-blind placebo-control pilot trial to document safety and efficacy endpoint assessments and to determine the feasibility of community recruitment and enrollment of symptomatic adult outpatients with COVID-19 The 12-week pilot will have 14 days where they receive XFBD or a placebo orally twice a day and a 10 week follow up The study will have a total of 60 participants with approximately 30 participants in each treatment arm The participants will be randomized 11 individuals
