The first clinical trial of a potential COVID-19<\/a> treatment involving a discovery by Hudson Institute researchers received approval in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An end-stage prostate cancer drug will be tested as a treatment in COVID-19 patients in Europe, following a discovery by Dr Michael Gantier<\/a> and his team that the drug has potent anti-inflammatory activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trial will involve approximately 40 patients in hospitals in Ukraine and Moldova, two countries experiencing high rates of SARS-CoV-2 infection and hospitalisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Gantier<\/a> and his team discovered in laboratory tests that the active ingredient in the anti-cancer drug Veyonda, idronoxil, could block the production of several pro-inflammatory proteins, known as cytokines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These proteins are involved in the \u2018cytokine storm\u2019 or hyper-inflammation that leads to life threatening acute respiratory distress and death from COVID-19. By stopping this reaction, the severity of the infection and any potential long-term impacts of COVID-19 could be reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
