5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Clinical research study that evaluates the effect of Turkish Beam-Selective UV developed by RD GLOBAL ARAŞTIRMA GELİŞTİRME SAĞLIK İLAÇ İNŞAAT YATIRIMLARI A.Ş. use into Intravascular, Intrapulmonary, Intratracial, Intrarespiratory area. Bacteria, Fungal and Virus-based pathogens systematically to collect and evaluate specific clinical performance and safety data. This Clinical Research aims to investigate the effectiveness of the treatment group and control group mortality rates, intensive care hospitalization times, monitoring the virus load by PCR, and the treatment effectiveness of UVC application. This Clinical Research covers determining the treatment effectiveness and reliability of UVC application to patient groups, the details of which are determined in the protocol.
Detailed Description
DESIGN Prospective, parallel, multicentre, randomized controlled study Ages between 40 and 75 years of age and positive symptoms such as fever, malaise, cough, and shortness of breath, or positive atypical pneumonia in CT findings or COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) test In the intensive care unit, which is accepted as COVID 19 infection and has been treated, patients will be treated with UVC radiation and laser beam treatment according to IKU principles in addition to Antimalarial therapy + Antiviral therapy + Anitibiotic therapy. Standard treatment consisting of Antimalarial therapy + Antiviral therapy + Antibiotic therapy will be applied to the control group. The dosage of the standard treatment consisting of antimalarial therapy + Antiviral therapy + Anitibiotic therapy, the number of days of treatment, and its active ingredient are indicated in the table.
