et al., Frontiers in Medicine, doi:10.3389/fmed.2023.1095828 | Peginterferon lambda for the treatment of hospitalized patients with mild COVID-19: A pilot phase 2 randomized placebo-controlled trial |
| 200% higher ICU admission (p=1), 25% longer hospitalization (p=0.59), and 12% improved viral clearance (p=1). Very small RCT with 14 hospitalized patients in the USA showing no significant differences with peginterferon lambda. Viral load was improved, however 86% of treatment versus 14% of control patients received remdesivir, and the median bas.. | ||
