MIR 19: Outpatient COVID-19 Treatment Targets Viral Replication with siRNA

A novel treatment for COVID-19, known as MIR 19, may offer a new approach to combating the virus, researchers report. The treatment utilizes small interfering RNA (siRNA) to target and disrupt viral replication, potentially providing a more direct mechanism of action compared to standard COVID-19 treatments. The treatment is designed to be used in outpatient settings. The experimental MIR 19 treatment stands out due to its siRNA-based mechanism. Unlike existing treatments, MIR 19 directly interferes with the virus’s ability to replicate within the body. Researchers are investigating whether this direct approach could revolutionize how COVID-19 is managed, particularly for patients who are not hospitalized.
