Phase 2 trial finds azelastine nasal spray reduces SARS-CoV-2 infections in healthy adults, suggesting a potential prophylactic treatment option.

Azelastine nasal spray significantly reduced the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infections compared to placebo.
Only 2.2% of participants using azelastine were infected, versus 6.7% in the placebo group, demonstrating substantial efficacy.
This phase 2, double-blind trial included 450 healthy adults, enrolled to evaluate the efficacy of azelastine as a preventive measure.
These findings highlight the potential of azelastine for COVID-19 prophylaxis, but larger trials are needed to confirm results.

Lehr et al. (2025) studied this question.
