Of the 30 moderate to severe CVD-19 patients treated by Tel Aviv Saursky Medical Center (Ichilov H Hospital Spital), 29 recovered and only three were discharged from the hospital. For five days, the hospital said Friday.
The 30-year-old patient also recovered but it took longer.
Patients Pro. Nadir Arbor was given the Exo-CD24 Covid-19 treatment, which is based on the CD24-rich Exosomes and is intended to combat the cytokine storm that is associated with many COVID-19 deaths worldwide.
A cytokine storm is when the immune system essentially goes into overdrive and begins to attack healthy cells. Exoso is responsible for cell-to-cell communication. In this case, the exosomes deliver the CD24 protein to the lungs, which helps calm the immune system.
“These proteins are located on the surface of cells and play a well-known and important role in controlling the immune system,” said Dr. Shiran Shapira, who works in Arbor’s lab.
Arbor has been researching exosomes for the better part of two decades. He said it was about six months since the idea to use the treatment in the fight against COVID-19 emerged, until it was first tested in humans.
The treatment is inhaled once a day for a few times for five days. Arber explains that it directly targets the lungs, the site of the storm, as opposed to other treatments that can be given systematically and therefore produce serious side effects.

Most patients who received exo-CD24 showed significant improvement in two days.
Prof. Nadir Arbor (Credit: Ichilov Hospital)“This is an innovative treatment that can be produced quickly and efficiently at low and low cost,” Arber explained. “Even if the vaccines are supposed to do, and if no new mutations occur, one way or another, the coronavirus will stay with us.”
This is not the first Israeli drug to promise treatment for Covid-19.
