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 111 treatments. c19early.org
In Vitro study and animal study showing that ProLung™-budesonide inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication (results for budesonide were not provided). ProLung™-budesonide and budesonide significantly decreased lung inflammation. ProLung™-budesonide is a formulation for sustained administration of a low dose of budesonide using a vehicle similar to lung surfactant.
3 preclinical studies support the efficacy of budesonide for COVID-19:

Background: Inhaled budesonide benefits patients with COVID-19. ProLung™-budesonide enables the sustained, low dose administration of budesonide within a delivery vehicle similar to lung surfactant. ProLung™-budesonide may offer anti-inflammatory and protective effects to the lung in COVID-19, yet it's effect on SARS-CoV-2 replication is unknown. Objective: To determine the efficacy of ProLung™-budesonide against SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro, evaluate its ability to decrease inflammation, and airway hyperresponsiveness in an animal model of lung inflammation. Methods: SARS-CoV-2-infected Vero 76 cells were treated with ProLung™-budesonide ([0.03-100 µg/ml]) for 3 days, and virus yield in the supernatant was measured. Ovalbumin-sensitized C57BL/6 mice received aerosolized (a) ProLung™-budesonide weekly, (b) only budesonide, either daily or weekly, or (c) weekly empty ProLung™-carrier (without budesonide). All treatment groups were compared to sensitized untreated, or normal mice using histopathologic examination,
