Emerging data suggests the virus targets the mitochondria - the 'power generators' inside our cells. Scientists say the experimental drug appears to improve overall power output and a treatment for fatigue 'may be in sight'.
Its results, published in Lancet eClinical Medicine, showed those who received the experimental drug reported significantly improved levels of fatigue.
But the combination of five amino acids and an amino acid derivative contained in AXA1125 appears to improve power output through multiple biological pathways. "We are energized to advance AXA1125 further towards being made available to the millions of patients currently without treatment options."By the end of last year, more than 500 million cases of COVID-19 were reported across the world.
