New Delhi, September 07, 2020: Hamdard Laboratories (Medicine Division), a progressive research-based health and wellness organization, announced that it has received all the regulatory approvals to begin the proof of concept clinical trial for its Infuza and Kulzam drugs to prevent COVID-19 infection. A research team from Hamdard Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (HIMSR) is going to start the clinical trial at HAH Centenary Hospital, New Delhi, to evaluate the efficacy of these drugs for the prevention of COVID-19 infection in high-risk subjects.

The research group is working on a randomized, parallel-group clinical trial for the repurposing of two popular Hamdard Medicines i.e. Infuza and Kulzum for the prevention of COVID-19 infection at HAHC hospital which conducts more than 100 COVID-19 tests per day.

Mr. Asad Mueed, Executive Trustee, Hamdard Laboratories India (Medicine Division) said “COVID-19 is arguably the biggest health crisis the world has faced in the 21st century. Hamdard Laboratories India (Medicine division) is working on the best of their capacity to face this pandemic.
