NCT04541979

Brief Summary

Recent observations have suggested a role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the pathophysiology of severe COVID-19. The aim of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of aerosolized DNase I to remove NETs and decrease respiratory distress in patients with COVID-19.
