Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Treatment of COVID-19 infected patients with a sodium pyruvate nasal sprayExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In this arm, patients will be provided with N115 sodium pyruvate nasal spray and instructed to use it 3x daily for 14 days. This group will be compared to the placebo control group to determine if sodium pyruvate reduces the symptoms, duration and replication of COVID-19 infection.
Group II: Placebo control treatment of COVID-19 infected patientsPlacebo Group1 Intervention
In this arm, patients will be provided with a saline nasal spray as a placebo control. Patients will use the saline nasal spray 3x daily for 14 days, similar to the sodium pyruvate drug arm. This will serve as a control for the symptoms, duration and replication of COVID-19 infection.
