Silymarin in COVID-19 Patients Admitted to Hospital With Elevated Liver Enzymes — SILCOVINT-21  

Covid19 Clinical Trial

Official title:
Does Silymarin Mitigate Clinical Course of COVID-19 in Patients Admitted to an Internal Medicine Ward With Elevated Liver Enzymes?

Clinical Trial Summary

Of patients admitted to an internal medicine ward with internistic diagnosis/es together with COVID-19, substantial proportion has elevated liver enzymes. silymarin / silibinin (milk thistle extract) has been approved as an add-on therapy in various acute and chronic liver diseases; moreover, there is evidence to suggest that it's dual effect (anti-viral and immune-modulatory) might be of benefit in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. As there is no effective/approved pharmacotherapy for COVID-19, a pilot study with Silymarine in hospitalised patients has been undertaken

Clinical Trial Description

According to the Bosch-Barrera et al. paper of 2021, silibinin in a daily dose of more than 1000 mg could improve clinical course of COVID-19 by its dual action: 1.direct inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication as well as 2.modulation of innate immune response - 2a. its initial (hyper)inflammation as well as 2b. later reparative phase, respectively. Moreover, the drug is known for its safety and has been approved and widely used in the region for liver diseases. Therefore, the investigation was set out to determine the efficacy of silymarin (compound closely related to Silibinin which is available in the region) in improving the outcome of a liver disease and of COVID-19, respectively. ;
