Potential therapeutics and vaccines are now being investigated in over 1500 clinical trials. Clinical features of the disease include overproduction of reactive oxygen species which induces oxidative stress responses and contribute to acute lung injury. This presents a potential treatment strategy involving antioxidation therapy. In this pilot study, 90 COVID-19 patients aged 18-75 years will be recruited into two groups. The 45 patients in group 1 will receive the standard of care determined by their primary care providers while the 45 patients in group 2 will receive both the standard of care combined with daily antioxidant supplement for 14 days. All patients will be monitored for a total of 28 days with daily monitoring of symptoms and nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 test on days 3, 7, 14 and 28. The study will compare the following between the two groups: (1) the proportion of patients with clinical improvement (defined as live discharge from hospital, decrease of at least 2 points from baseline on a 7-point ordinal scale, or both), and (2) the proportion of patients with negative SARS-CoV-2 test by PCR on days 3, 7, and 14.', 'detailedDescription': 'Background: COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is an unprecedented global public health challenge which as at 06 May 2020 has spread to over 210 with over 3.6 million cases including 250,000 deaths. More than 1500 clinical trials are currently ongoing in an unprecedented global search for potential therapeutics and vaccines. Certain clinical features of SARS-CoV-2 infection provide potential treatment strategies involving antioxidation therapy, including overproduction of reactive oxygen species which induces oxidative stress responses and contribute to acute lung injury.\n\nPrimary Outcome Measure: (1) the proportion of patients with clinical improvement (defined as live discharge from hospital, decrease of at least 2 points from baseline on a 7-point ordinal scale, or both), and (2) the proportion of patients with negative SARS-CoV-2 test by PCR on days 3, 7, and 14.\n\nStudy Design: Individuals within 18-75 years of age who receive a PCR positive test for COVID-19 and admitted at participating COVID-19 isolation and treatment centres will be invited to participate. Consenting individuals will be randomised 1:1 to receive either standard of care alone (control group) or standard of care plus daily antioxidant supplementation (intervention group). A total of 90 participants will be recruited in the Pilot Stage (n = 45 per arm). The Pivotal Stage will include 300 participants. Antioxidant therapy will be a formulation composed of reduced GSH, N-acetylcysteine, superoxide dismutase and bovine lactoferrin and immunoglobulin as in whey protein isolate. Clinical improvement will be evaluated daily using a 7-category ordinal scale. SARS-CoV-2 PCR test will be repeated on days 3, 7, 14 and 28.\n\nAnalysis: An interim analysis of data from the Pilot Stage will be conducted after the first 45 participants have completed days 1-14 of the study period. These data will provide valuable insights regarding possible revision of the design, conduct and analysis of the Pivotal Stage. Analysis of clinical improvement based on the 7-category ordinal scale will be performed using time-to-event data (patients will censored at 28-days of follow-up). Categorical variables will be analysed using the log-rank test and continuous variables will be assessed using a univariable Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. Proportion of participants with SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) negative result at days 3, 7, 14 and 28 will be compared between the intervention and control groups.\n\nEthics: This trial will be conducted in compliance with the protocol, the principles of ICH Guideline E6 for Good Clinical Practice, the Declaration of Helsinki, and all applicable regulatory requirements.'},
