Protocol summary

Study aim
Clinical study to investigate the effectiveness of curcumin-containing nanomaterials and its effects on immune cell balance as a therapeutic supplement in the treatment of COVID-19
Design
Clinical trial with control groups using placebo with parallel group, double-blind, randomized trials will be performed on 40 COVID-19 patients which will be randomized using encoded sealed wax boxes.
Settings and conduct
Patients are selected from the COVID-19 ward of Shahid Mohammadi Hospital in Bandar Abbas. Patients who enter the study receive standard treatment with nanocurcumin or placebo within two weeks. the study is blinded by the therapist, patient, data collector, and analyzer through randomly encoded boxes. on days 1, 7, and 14 of the study, clinical history and blood samples are taken from patients.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Laboratory-approved COVID-19 tests Both gender Age between 18 and 75 years Signing a written consent Lack of participation in other clinical trials ;Exclusion criteria Pregnancy and lactation Allergy to turmeric or curcumin Smoking Patient connected to the ventilator SaO2 less than 90% or PaO2 less than 8 kPa Having comorbidities (such as severe renal failure Glomerular filtration rate less than 30 ml / min, liver failure ,Congestive heart failure, or Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) History of gallstones History of gastritis or active gastrointestinal ulcer
Intervention groups
In addition to the usual treatments, in the intervention group, 40mg nanocurcumin capsules 4 mg per day (after breakfast, lunch and dinner, one before bedtime) for 2 weeks, and in the placebo group, capsules with the same appearance are prescribed
Main outcome variables
Effectiveness of nano micelles containing curcumin as a complementary treatment in improving symptoms of patients with COVID-19 and examining changes in the immune cell balance

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The randomization method in this study is used as an individual randomization using a sealed sealed envelope randomization tool. In this case, the third person was responsible for picking up and selecting the envelopes as a random arrangement in which the placebo and the main drug were randomly divided among the patients. The study person and the analyst will not be aware of how the randomization happened.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In order to perform the blinding, according to the number of patients, the nanocurcumin and placebo, which are quite similar in shape and characteristics, is randomly placed in the same boxes and the boxes are coded. The codes related to the drug and placebo will be provided by a third party, and the therapist, patient, data collector, and analyzer will not be notified, and the boxes will be given to patients upon arrival. .
