Sponsor's own description
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. It was first isolated in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and then rapidly spread to the rest of the world posing a severe threat to global health. Many therapeutics have been investigated for the treatment of this disease with inconclusive outcomes. Protease inhibitors are one of the proposed agents, but their use is limited to their significant drug interactions and side effects. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety outcomes of Darunavir/Cobicistat versus Lopinavir /Ritonavir in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia in Qatar.
