Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the therapeutic effect of MAB98 including thymolic fraction of Trachyspermum ammi, thymoquinone fraction of Nigella sativa and colchicine of Colchicum autumnale in COVID-19 patients
Design
This study is a randomized controlled unblinded trial. The control and intervention groups would be allocated by Block Randomization Method (each group: 60 cases).
Settings and conduct
This clinical trial would be performed in Golestan and Farabi hospitals in Kermanshah, Iran. The control group would receive only the standard treatment regime. The intervention group would received MAB98 (125 and 250 mg capsules 2 to 3 times daily for seven days) in addition to the standard treatment regime. This new formula containing colchicine that is extracted from colchicum autumnale using solvent extraction, thymoquinone and thymol that extracted from Nigella sativa and Trachyspermum ammi, respectively using hydro-alcoholic extraction and finally standardized against the active ingredients.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria are finding(s) in favor of COVID-19 in Chest CT scan when accompanied with the clinical sign(s) and symptom(s) or RT-PCR-confirmed for COVID-19 in the sample of evaluated case. Signing the consent form by the person/legal guardian. Exclusion criteria are age lower than 10 years, pregnancy, and severe hepatic failure.
Intervention groups
60 inpatients with confirmed COVID-19 infection who have met inclusion and exclusion criteria which now receiving the standard treatment regime (Kaletra). These patients would receive MAB98 other than the standard treatment. The control group with 60 cases would receive the standard treatment (Kaletra) only.
Main outcome variables
The fatality rate, hospitalization duration, and need of intensive care unit administration

Randomization description
Permuted balanced ‎block randomization method: In this study permuted balanced ‎block randomization will used. It is recommended to use in small randomized control trials when we want treatment groups of equal sizes. In this permuted balanced ‎block randomization, the blocked size is 4, the allocation ratio is 1 and number of intervention groups is 2. After specifying the block size, all the potential contribution of the assignments within each group must be calculated, and then the blocks are randomly chosen to determine the assignment of all participants. So, the total of sample size of participants randomized to two treatment groups, a randomized block method would be: block size is four, possible balance combinations with two intervention group I and two intervention group II in each block are calculated as 6 and where each block is randomly chosen to determine the assignment of all samples. Finally, 30 blocks with random permutation will be generated.
