Budesonide for COVID-19
19th treatment shown to reduce risk in April 2021, now with p = 0.0000011 from 15 studies, recognized in 8 countries.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments.
5,100+ studies for 110 treatments. c19early.org
Small early-terminated RCT with 40 inhaled budesonide and 49 control patients, showing no significant differences. 400µg/12h via Pulmicort Turbuhaler.
Targeted administration to the respiratory tract provides treatment directly to the typical source of initial SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication, and allows for rapid onset of action, higher local drug concentration, and reduced systemic side effects (early treatment may be more beneficial).
risk of death, 22.5% higher, RR 1.23, p = 1.00, treatment 1 of 40 (2.5%), control 1 of 49 (2.0%), day 90.
risk of progression, 38.7% lower, RR 0.61, p = 0.69, treatment 2 of 40 (5.0%), control 4 of 49 (8.2%), NNT 32.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates
