Multicenter Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Xiyanping Injection in the Treatment of New Coronavirus Infection Pneumonia (General and Severe)

Multicenter Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Xiyanping Injection in the Treatment of New Coronavirus Infection Pneumonia (General and Severe)

In December 2019, Wuhan, in Hubei province, China, became the center of an outbreak of pneumonia of unknown cause. In a short time, Chinese scientists had shared the genome information of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from these pneumonia patients and developed a real-time reverse transcription PCR (real time RT-PCR) diagnostic assay.

In view of the fact that there is currently no effective antiviral therapy, the prevention or treatment of lung injury caused by COVID-19 can be an alternative target for current treatment. Xiyanping injection has anti-inflammatory and immune regulation effects. This study is a Randomized, Parallel Controlled Clinical Study to treat patients with COVID-19 infection.

The new coronavirus (COVID-19) [1] belongs to the new beta coronavirus. Current research shows that it has 85% homology with bat SARS-like coronavirus (bat-SL-CoVZC45), but its genetic characteristics are similar to SARSr-CoV. There is a clear difference from MERSr-COV. Since December 2019, Wuhan City, Hubei Province has successively found multiple cases of patients with pneumonia infected by a new type of coronavirus. With the spread of the epidemic, as of 12:00 on February 12, 2020, a total of 44726 confirmed cases nationwide (Hubei Province) 33,366 cases, accounting for 74.6%), with 1,114 deaths (1068 cases in Hubei Province), and a mortality rate of 2.49% (3.20% in Hubei Province).

In view of the fact that there is currently no effective antiviral therapy, the prevention or treatment of lung injury caused by COVID-19 can be an alternative target for current treatment. Xiyanping injection has anti-inflammatory and immune regulation effects. In the early clinical practice of treating severe H1N1, it was clinically concerned, and combined with conventional treatment, and achieved good results.
