Study Summary

This study is a two-arm, randomized, 2-phase study. Phase I will be double blinded clinical trial of the safety and efficacy of an antiseptic mouthwash solution on reducing SARS-CoV-2 load in COVID 19+ adult individuals. Phase II is designed as an open label trial, and all subjects will receive the active mouthwash.

Primary Outcome

The primary endpoint is the percentage reduction of SARS-Co-V-2 load in saliva at 60 minutes (post-intervention) compared to baseline between the PVP-I mouthwash versus the placebo mouthwash. For this outcome, Cycle Threshold is a proxy for SARS-Co-V-2 load. A positive percent change from baseline Cycle Threshold indicates a decrease from baseline SAR-Co-V2. \[Quick SARS-CoV-2 rRT-PCR Kit (Zymo Research, Cat. No. R3011)\].
