    5 Day Cure for China Virus - Thank you Israel

    90% of patients treated with new Israeli drug discharged in 5 days

    Some 93% of 90 coronavirus serious patients treated in several Greek hospitals with a new drug developed by a team at Tel Aviv's Sourasky Medical Center as part of the Phase II trial of the treatment were discharged in five days or fewer.

    The Phase II trial confirmed the results of Phase I, which was conducted in Israel last winter and saw 29 out of 30 patients in moderate to serious condition recover within days.

    "The main goal of this study was to verify that the drug is safe," Prof. Nadir Arber said. "To this day we have not registered any significant side effect in any patient from both groups."

    The trial was conducted in Athens because Israel did not have enough relevant patients. The principal investigator was Greece's coronavirus commissioner, Prof. Sotiris Tsiodras.

    Arber and his team, including Dr. Shiran Shapira, developed the drug based on a molecule that the professor has been studying for 25 years called CD24, which is naturally present in the body.

    "It is important to remember that 19 out of 20 COVID-19 patients do not need any therapy," Arber said. "After a window of five to 12 days, some 5% of the patients start to deteriorate."

    The main cause of the clinical deterioration is an over activation of the immune system, also known as a cytokine storm. In case of COVID-19 patients, the system starts attacking healthy cells in the lungs.

    "This is exactly the problem that our drug targets," he said.

    CD24 is a small protein that is anchored to the membrane of the cells and it serves many functions including regulating the mechanism responsible for the cytokine storm.

    Arber stressed that their treatment, EXO-CD24, does not affect the immune system as a whole, but only targets this specific mechanism, helping find again its correct balance.
