• Relief Therapeutics Holding SA's (OTC:RLFTF) wholly-owned subsidiary, APR Applied Pharma Research SA, has reported interim results from its clinical trial of nasal spray Sentinox in COVID-19.
• Relief also reported that data from the study suggest that Sentinox could effectively reduce the SARS-CoV-2 viral load at the level of the nasal mucosa.
• The interim analysis, based on 30 patients, showed that all patients treated with Sentinox tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 by the end of the study period (Day 21). 
• By contrast, one out of 10 patients in the control group was still positive by Day 21. 
• A post-market, confirmatory, interventional, randomized, placebo-controlled study is expected to enroll a total of 57 patients. 
• The study will assess the efficacy and safety of Sentinox spray in reducing viral load in the upper respiratory airways of recently infected SARS-CoV-2 individuals.
• Sentinox is an acid-oxidizing solution (AOS) containing hypochlorous acid at 0.005%. 
• The device is intended for irrigation, cleaning, and moistening nasal cavities.
