Brief Summary:
According to In vitro studies, ciclesonide showed good antiviral activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Although some cases were reported for the clinical effectiveness of ciclesonide in the treatment of COVID-19, there is no clinical trial to evaluate the antiviral effect on the reduction of viral load in patients with COVID-19. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether ciclesonide inhalation could eradicate SARS-CoV-2 compared to standard supportive care in patients with mild COVID-19.
