Study Summary

In this pilot trial, 150 confirmed COVID-19 individuals will be randomly assigned to 1 of 5 groups: distilled water, CloSYS Ultra Sensitive Rinse (Rowpar Pharmaceutical Inc., USA), Oral-B Mouth Sore (Oral-B, USA), Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection (Crest, USA), or Listerine Zero (Johnson and Johnson, USA).

Primary Outcome

The change in the outcome measure, SARS-CoV-2 viral load, in saliva wash RT-PCR was measured by Cycle Threshold (Ct) value. Ct value refers to the number of cycles it takes for the fluorescent signal generated during the PCR reaction to cross a certain threshold, indicating the presence of the target nucleic acid sequence, here, SARS-CoV-2. The lower the Ct value, the faster the threshold is crossed and the higher the viral load in a biological sample, suggesting a higher concentration of the SA
