saRNA self-amplifying RNA
SummaryBACKGROUNDVLPCOV-01 is a lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) vaccine that expresses a membrane-anchored receptor-binding domain (RBD) derived from the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.METHODSA phase 1 study of VLPCOV-01 was conducted at Medical Corporation Heishinkai OPHAC Hospital, Japan.

mITT modified intention-to-treat
In the 188 de novo patients included in modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population, when compared with placebo, 60 mg/day CEP slightly shortened the time to negative (difference=-0.77 days, hazard ratio (HR)=1.40, 95% CI 0.97 to 2.01, p=0.072), and 120 mg/day CEP did not show the trend.

SPPB short physical performance battery
The repeated measures analysis of variance revealed significant Group*Time interactions for all the outcomes: (handgrip dominant: F = 17.395, p 0.001, η2 = 0.24; handgrip non-dominant: F = 33.197, p 0.001, η2 = 0.33; 4 m walk test (4WT): F = 13.039, p = 0.001, η2 = 0.16; short physical performance battery (SPPB): F = 26.421, p 0.001, η2 = 0.28; the five chair-raise test (5CRT): F = 5.628, p = 0.004, η2 = 0.08; FRAIL scale: F = 11.249, p = 0.001, η2 = 0.14): patients in the experimental group experienced greater improvements in all outcomes than those assigned to the control group.

SC standard of care
Patients were randomized to receive either standard of care (SC) plus an oral quercetin supplement (500 mg Quercetin Phytosome®, 1st week, TDS: 2nd week, BDS) (n = 50, quercetin group) or SC alone (n = 50, control group).Results: After one week of treatment, patients in the quercetin group showed a speedy recovery from COVID-19 as compared to the control group, i.e., 34 patients (vs. 12 in the control group) tested negative for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (p = 0.0004), and 26 patients (vs. 12 in the control group) had their COVID-19-associated acute symptoms resolved (p = 0.0051).
