COVID-19 Clinical Trial Utilizing Nobel-Prize Winning Science Slated to Begin
PASADENA, Calif., May 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- An emerging biotech leader with operations in over three dozen countries, Circularity Healthcare, in partnership with Watson Wellness Center in Oakland, California, announce the launch of a new clinical trial aimed at treating the main underlying medical conditions related to the most severe COVID-19 cases. Led by Oakland-based H. Geoffrey Watson, M.D., the clinic recently became a COVID-19 testing site and is in the process of becoming a by-appointment testing center for Alameda County.
This groundbreaking clinical trial will feature the administration of Circularity's latest patented and patent-pending, noninvasive and painless, ultra-portable, transdermal (over the skin) drug delivery device D'OXYVA® (deoxyhemoglobin vasodilator). D'OXYVA has consistently demonstrated success over eight years of involvement in dozens of human studies and has received user feedback from thousands of people in dozens of countries where other drugs and treatment options have failed. D'OXYVA directly addresses the issue of low-oxygen blood flow, which is especially important for at-risk COVID-19 patients.
D'OXYVA® is the first noninvasive solution of its kind to elegantly achieve major skin, tissue, and vascular blood flow improvement (often 300 percent from baseline) in the microcirculation -- a painless process that has been proven to significantly increase overall oxygen-rich blood flow throughout the body and boost new vessel structure growth (angiogenesis). This widely studied process has been applied to the treatment of a variety of conditions related to low oxygen in the blood, including diabetes, sepsis, septic shock, hypertension, cardiovascular complications, COPD, and high blood pressure, which are common underlying conditions in the most vulnerable COVID-19 patients. According to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, nearly all patients hospitalized with COVID-19 at the epicenter in New York City had chronic health issues, and most -- 88 percent -- had at least two, including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, obesity, and chronic respiratory illnesses.
"We are thrilled to partner with such a distinguished expert as Dr. Geoffrey Watson in this groundbreaking COVID-19 clinical trial," says Circularity Healthcare president and CEO Norbert Kiss. "We are confident that our unique solution can save millions of lives of those with chronic illnesses in the fight against COVID-19."
D'OXYVA works by utilizing FDA-approved, pharmaceutical-grade, ultra-purified carbon dioxide (gasotransmitter) currently used by doctors, clinics, and hospitals worldwide. This nontoxic, simple medical gas molecule is delivered through the skin by D'OXYVA's rapid delivery system, and induces vasodilation and vasoconstriction, leading to increased perfusion and, ultimately, healing. More than eight years of clinical evidence collection involving D'OXYVA has demonstrated significantly reduced inflammation and fever in patients, in addition to reinforcing the immune system and improving white blood cell production, oxygen-rich blood circulation, toxic waste removal, and a host of inflammatory markers. These improvements are combined with powerful additional hormonal and neural functions that benefit nearly all patients, young and old, men and women, from all ethnic backgrounds.
A big part of the science behind D'OXYVA® are the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine-winning findings that showed how oxygen levels affect cellular metabolism and physiological function, paving the way for oxygen to be used as a promising new method to fight many diseases, including various types of cancer. Another of Circularity's IRB-approved human clinical trials is expanding into Phase 3 and centers on healing diabetic foot ulcers at one-tenth of the time and current healthcare costs.
"We couldn't be more pleased to be able to offer this treatment option to those most in need, and especially to the African American community, which has been shown to be disproportionately affected by the crisis caused by the novel coronavirus and underlying medical conditions," says Circularity's national vice president of sales Larry Kimble.
In addition, D'OXYVA is currently available over the counter for at-home use. The easy-to-use, fully mechanical, hand-held device requires no electricity or special training, and is intended to ease the expense and inconvenience of time-consuming doctor visits by offering relatively affordable and effective management of mild to severe health conditions in the comfort of your own home or on-the-go.
The company is also actively accepting donation requests from nurses and doctors to provide D'OXYVA for immediate lifesaving treatment of hospital patients in critical condition, or those diagnosed with COVID-19, due to its Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) status under FDA regulations.
