Hepatitis is a group of diseases of a completely different nature, in which the pathological process spreads to the entire liver tissue, as a result of which its functions are disrupted.

Indications for use

The main indications for prescribing Molixan are hepatitis C and B in the acute stage or in chronic form (as well as hepatitis of mixed etiology). The presence or absence of a delta agent is the basis for adjusting the injection regimen (the course of treatment is drawn up by a doctor). The drug can be used not only as an addition to the main therapy, but also during maintenance and restorative procedures for patients with an established diagnosis of hepatitis.

Directions for use and dosage

The dosage and scheme of use of Molixan depends on the stage and type of the disease present. The duration of treatment for acute and chronic hepatitis differs. The maximum therapeutic effect is achieved when injections are combined with other procedures.

Molixan®

In accordance with the resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 04/03/20. N 441, from 04/18/20. to 05/12/20. A randomized clinical trial was conducted on the use of the drug Molixan® as part of complex therapy for patients with moderate to severe COVID-19, initiated by the National Medical Research Center of Cardiology (FSBI “National Medical Research Center of Cardiology”; No. MNCV-08-2020 dated 04/10/2020; principal investigator - Ph.D. medical sciences Rodnenkov Oleg Vladimirovich). When using the drug, the severity of the disease decreased already on 2-3 days. None of the patients required transfer to the intensive care unit. On days 3-5, Molixan® contributed to the normalization of blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate and respiration in patients in the main group compared to the control group. The drug reduced the need for oxygen therapy. These parameters, when compared in the main group (Molixan) and the control group, showed statistically significant differences. Both the main and control groups received comparable therapy according to the recommendations of the Russian Ministry of Health for the treatment of COVID-19.

06/01/20. – 10.07.20. in a prospective open study, the prophylactic use of the drug in inhalation form was studied among medical workers in a group at increased risk of infection (working in the “red” zone), initiated by the North-Western State Medical University. I.I. Mechnikov. The incidence in the group that received the drug was 4.5 times less (2%; 2 out of 99 people got sick) than in the control group (9%; 24 out of 268 people who worked in the “red” zone got sick). The results are summarized in the article by Michael V. Dubina, Veronika V. Gomonova, Anastasia E. Taraskina, Natalia V. Vasilyeva, Sergey A. Sayganov. Pathogenesis-based pre-exposure prophylaxis associated with low risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthcare workers at a designated COVID-19 hospital, posted in the global public database of full-text preprints of medical articles Medrxiv, awaiting publication in specialized journals (translation into Russian ).

06/08/20. – 10/12/20 clinical observations in patients with severe COVID-19 hospitalized or transferred to the intensive care unit of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the Military Medical Academy named after. CM. Kirova (researcher - Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Roman Evgenievich Lakhin), showed that Molixan® reduces the need for high-flow oxygen therapy and shortens the length of stay in the intensive care unit.

The pathogenetic justification for the advisability of using the drug in the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), associated with severe COVID-19, was the “Study of the specific activity of the drug Molixan® on an experimental model of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute pneumonia in mature laboratory rats”, conducted on August 31. 2020. – November 25, 2020. at the Center for Preclinical and Clinical Research, Department of Molecular and Radiation Biophysics, St. Petersburg Institute of Nuclear Physics. B.P. Konstantinov National Research Center (NRC “Kurchatov Institute” - PNPI).

Treatment of ARDS with the drug Molixan® contributed to the prevention of the development and correction of pathomorphological changes in lung tissue. There was a statistically significant decrease in both the overall prevalence and severity of the inflammatory process in the lungs and a decrease in the intensity of inflammatory infiltration of the lung tissue. When using the drug, moderate and severe forms of development of the pathological process in the lungs were 3.5 times less common. The blood levels of inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, interleukin-2), endothelin-1 (vasoconstrictor peptide) decreased, and the activity of antithrombin III increased. The use of the drug at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight not only showed its anti-inflammatory effect, but was also not accompanied by mortality, deterioration in the condition of experimental animals, or negative dynamics of laboratory and pathomorphological parameters, which indicates the safety of its use.

Based on the results of the studies conducted, in order to bring the evidence base for the drug in line with modern international criteria of evidence-based medicine, the copyright holder of the drug Molixan® JSC "PHARMA VAM" decided to conduct a multicenter, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel-group clinical trial to study the safety and the effectiveness of the drug Molixan® as part of standard therapy in the treatment of patients with severe new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) (study code: MNCV-III/2-2020). The contract research organization (CleanPharmDevelopment LLC) plans to involve 18 clinical centers of the Russian Federation in this study.

Molixan® is a metabolic agent, has anti-inflammatory, antihypoxic, antifibrotic activity, improves microcirculation and rheological properties of blood, optimizes oxygen saturation of tissues. The uniqueness of the drug for COVID-19 is the possibility of a complex effect with one drug on different stages of the development of the disease (improving blood flow and microcirculation in tissues, normalizing ventilation and perfusion of the lungs, detoxification and anti-inflammatory effect), not limited to symptomatic therapy.

The medications indicated in the recommendations of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 do not have an evidence base. The WHO-coordinated Solidarity study, conducted in 405 medical institutions in thirty countries and including more than 12 thousand patients, showed no or insignificant effect of the main previously recommended and actively used drugs against the nosocomial course of coronavirus infection COVID-19 (remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir /ritonavir, interferon drugs). Plasma transfusions from COVID-19 survivors also did not live up to expectations, according to The New England Journal of Medicine, one of the most influential and cited medical journals.

The search for new effective drugs and treatment regimens for patients with COVID-19 with a proven evidence base remains a priority in the context of the ongoing disease pandemic.
