Two other complementary projects also selected
Two other nationally labeled research projects are adjacent to “COV-NI”. In Bordeaux, “COVERAGE” is also trying to assess the effectiveness of several inhalation treatments (on patients over 65 years of age on an outpatient basis) including interferon, while the “SPRINTER” project (led by the company British Synairgen) is also studying the effectiveness of inhaled interferon-beta (for 14 days). “ Synairgen has already noted 80% fewer intubated patients, which is already a reassuring indication. But it is necessary to confirm because this observation is compatible with an effect which can range from a real reduction of 7 to 96% ”, comments Doctor Aurélien Mary.
