Pilot and Randomized, Controlled Studies to Assess Stool Frequency of COVID + Patients Treated With Oral Bismuth Subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol): SABER-C and Lite-SABER-C (Specific Administration of Bismuth for Early Recovery of COVID-19)
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Bismuth Subsalicylate 262 milligram (mg) Oral Tablet, Chewable and Placebo oral tablet without BSS for Diarrhea and COVID-19. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) have deemed the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic of unprecedented severity in modern times. In 2019, this novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged from the Asian continent and has now caused upwards of 1million deaths and over 6 million infections globally. Currently, the estimated global economic impact is over 5 Trillion dollars. Understanding the host response to pathogens, specifically the cellular and humoral responses, has played an important role in new non-antibiotic therapies. Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) has a potential role in the clearance and/or recurrence of enteric viral infections.
