Effect of degalactosylated bovine glycoprotein formulations MAF and M сapsules on lymphopenia and clinical outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients: a randomized clinical trial
Abstract Background Targeting mucosal immunity of the gut, which is known to provide antigen processing, while avoiding excessive or unnecessary inflammation, was tested as a way to modulate COVID-19 severity. Methods Randomized open-label trial in 204 adults hospitalized with non-critical COVID-19 who received for 14 days in addition to standard of care (SOC) degalactosylated bovine glycoproteins formulations of either MAF capsules (MAF group) or M capsules (M group) or SOC only (control group). Results Median recovery time when patients did not require supplemental oxygen was 6 days in both study groups compared to 9 days in the control (MAF vs....
Adjunctive use of oral MAF is associated with no disease progression or mortality in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia: The single-arm COral-MAF1 prospective trial☆
Abstract Based on a growing body of evidence that a dysregulated innate immune response mediated by monocytes/macrophages plays a key role in the pathogenesis of COVID-19, a clinical trial was conducted to investigate the therapeutic potential and safety of oral macrophage activating factor (MAF) plus standard of care (SoC) in the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Ninety-seven hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia were treated with oral MAF and a vitamin D3 supplement, in combination with SoC, in a single-arm, open label, multicentre, phase II clinical trial. The primary outcome measure was a reduction in an intensive care unit transfer rate below 13% after MAF administration. At...
The Effect of MAF Capsules and M Capsules on Lymphopenia and Clinical Outcomes in Non-Critical Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients
The Effect of MAF Capsules and M Capsules on Lymphopenia and Clinical Outcomes in Non-Critical Hospitalized COVID-19 PatientsPreprints with The Lancet 19 Pages Posted: 7 Feb 2023 Abstract BACKGROUND: Excessive inflammation and lymphopenia are linked to poor Covid-19 clinical outcomes. Targeting both conditions using an immunomodulating approach needs to be tested.METHODS: We conducted an open-label, randomized, controlled trial of MAF Capsules and M Capsules in adults who were hospitalized with Covid-19 and had evidence of lower respiratory tract infection but at enrolment did not require resuscitation or mechanical ventilation. Patients were randomly assigned to receive, in addition to standard of care...
