  Importance: Novel SARS-CoV-2 virus has infected nearly 100 million people across the world and is highly contagious. There is a need for a novel mechanism to block viral entry and stop its replication. Background: Spike protein N Terminal Domain (NTD) of the novel SARS-CoV-2 is essential for viral entry and replication in human cell. Thus the S1 NTD of human coronavirus family, which is similar to a galectin binding site-human galactose binding lectins, is a potential novel target for early treatment in COVID-19. Objectives: To study the feasibility of performing a definitive trial of using galectin antagonist–Prolectin-M as treatment for mild, symptomatic, rRT-PCR positive, COVID-19. Main outcomes and measures: Cycle threshold (Ct) value is number of cycles needed to express.. View more»
