    Comparing efficacy of interferon beta 1a nasal spray and placebo for Time to Clinical Recovery of Covid-19 (Fever normalization and oxygen saturation sustained for at least 72 hours)
    Evaluation of 50% reduction of viral load or negative results of virus before Day 7
    مقایسه اثربخشی اسپری بینی اینترفرون بتا 1آ و داروی پلاسبو برای بهبود کلینیکال علایم بیماری کووید-19(نرمال شدن تب و غلظت اشباع اکسیژن به مدت 72 ساعت)
    بررسی کاهش 50 درصدی میزان لود ویروس و یا منفی شدن آن تا قبل روز 7 درمان
    This is a randomized double blind study at Baqiyatallal Hospital at mild to moderate cases of covid-19. Nasal spray of interferon beta 1a will be prepared by sponsor of the study (Cinnagen), the package of the test and placebo drug will have totally equal shape and size. The drugs will be coded by randomization code which was prepared by an independent statistical person. The dosage of the drug or placebo: One puff at each nostril, every 6 hours, for 14 days
