The clinical trial using MAF hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Ukraine
In June 2020 we applied to the COVID-19 Scientific Technical Triage of the US FDA for the evaluation of the rationale to study the efficacy of MAF Capsules in COVID-19 treatment. The US FDA in PreIND 151946 meeting response recommended a small proof of concept (POC) study as the initial step prior to the large-scale trial be run. The US FDA indicated recommendations including the major study endpoints addressing the investigation of MAF Capsules efficacy as a potential new drug was implemented in the proposed study design. The recommended efficacy endpoints were also implemented in the open-label randomized clinical trial that started in Ukraine in November 2020 to assess the efficacy and safety of dietary supplements MAF Capsules, 148 mg and M Capsules, 148 mg in addition to standard of care (SOC) compared with SOC in the treatment of hospitalized non-critical COVID-19 patients.

Potential role of GcMAF in suppressing the severity of COVID-19-induced immune responses: Lesson learned from HIV
The hypothesis: Based on the aforementioned findings and on documented analogies between SARS-CoV-2 and HIV, we hypothesized that the reduced conversion activity of the Gc protein (human group-specific component (Gc)) into the macrophage activating factor (MAF) could have a key role in the dysregulate immune response induced by SARS-CoV-2, just like for HIV infected patients. If this hypothesis is correct, it might help to set a valid strategy of immunotherapy also based on an off-label use of GcMAF in critically ill COVID-19 patients. (URL)



Rationales of GcMAF as a therapeutic target for SARS-CoV-2
The fact that around 96% of patients recover from the infection despite there being no antiviral therapeutics that specifically target human coronaviruses suggests that the human immune system has mechanisms to combat SARS-CoV2. (PDF)
