US gets more help in raging battle against COVID-19 as FDA authorizes Moderna vaccine, the second allowed for emergency use – USA TODAY

The FDA has authorized Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use in the U.S. The first shots of the vaccine are expected to be given Monday. USA TODAY

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Americans will soon have access to a second COVID-19 vaccine.

Stephen Hahn, commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, granted emergency authorization Fridayto a vaccine made by Moderna,a week after giving similar clearance to one made by Pfizer and its German collaborator, BioNTech.

His is "authorizing" rather than approving the vaccine, because longer-term research is needed to meet the full standards for approval, which officials don't want to wait for during the public health emergency.

The speedy path to authorization was possible because the agencycut through regulatory red tape,Hahnsaid at a Friday night press conference. "We worked quickly based onthe urgency of this global pandemic ... we have not cut corners."

The announcementmakesthe U.S.the first country to authorize two COVID-19 vaccines that demonstrate "clear and compelling efficacy, Dr.Peter Marks director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research at the FDA said during the press conference.Marks said it isanother milestone as we work to end the COVID-19 pandemic.

The move comes a day afterthe U.S. reported its 17 millionth case of COVID-19and an independent advisory committee reviewed data from human trials of Moderna's mRNA-1273 vaccine, deciding its benefits outweighed its risks. The vaccine, according to a trial that included 30,000 volunteers,protected more than94% of recipients from active disease, without causing major safety concerns.

Trucks will begin moving the vaccine this weekend, with the first of 5.9 million already manufactured Moderna shots expected to be given on Monday.

Your vaccine questions, answered:I had COVID, should I still get vaccinated? What are the side effects? What are its 'ingredients?'

In this special edition episode of States of America, experts answer the biggest questions Americans have about the vaccine, side effects, how it's getting to you and more. USA TODAY

It's a triumphant moment for the 10-year-old Cambridge, Massachusetts, biotech companythat until nowhad never brought a product to market.

Now, both its vaccine and the one byPfizer-BioNTecharepoised to change the course of the worst pandemic in a century.

The virus that causes COVID-19 hasswept the world and particularly devastated the United States, which accounts for 4% of the world's populationbut nearly 23%of its COVID-19 cases and 19%of its deaths.

During the current winter surge, anAmerican is reported dead about every 34 seconds from the virus, and 150 are diagnosed every minute.

But it will take time to roll out vaccine across the country and the world, achieving the 70% protection from both vaccination and natural disease that experts say will be needed to stop widespread infections.

Moderna, which developed its vaccine in collaboration with government scientists,says it will be able to deliver 20 million doses of its vaccine by the end of December. Another 80 million will be available in the first few months of 2021, under a contract signed in Augustthat brought the U.S. government's direct financial backing of the companyto $2.5 billion.

"It is through the dedicated efforts of our federal scientists and their collaborators at Moderna and in academia, the clinical staff who conducted the vaccine's rigorous clinical trials, and the tens of thousands of study participants who selflessly rolled up their sleeves, that another safe and highly effective vaccine to protect against COVID-19 will soon be rolled out to the American public," Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, said Friday.

Just last week, the government closed a deal for a second 100 million doses to be delivered in the second quarter of next year, bringing taxpayers' total investment in mRNA-1273 up to$4.1 billion.

Another candidate vaccine, from Johnson & Johnson, fully enrolled its large-scale humantrial Thursdayand expects to report its first safety and effectiveness data in January.

A fourth, created by AstraZeneca and Oxford University, is a few weeks behind, and a fifth candidate, by vaccine developer Novavax ofGaithersburg, Maryland, is expected to begin its major U.S. trial shortly.

If all or most of these come through, there shouldbe plenty of vaccine by the endof next summer to cover every American who wants one.

"It's just incredible science and human achievement,"said Dr. Steven Joffe, a professor of medical ethics and health policyat the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania."Not just the science that went into the vaccines, but the organizational effort to pull off those trials it's marvelous."

Although Moderna moved extremely fast, winning authorization just 11 months after beginning work on mRNA-1273, ithas been developing the technology behind its vaccinefor a decade.

The company was founded in 2010 on the banks of the Charles River, a short walkfrom the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where one of its founders was a faculty member,and another a graduate and board member.

That MIT gradand board of trustees member, venture capitalist Noubar Afeyan,said he was intrigued at the time by the idea of making drugs inside the human body.

Messenger RNA, which the body uses to translate the DNA code into the proteins that do all the body's work, seemed like the right tool to address a whole host of medical problems, he said.

Afeyan saidhe likes to start companies with big ideas that seem like science fictionand then "take the fiction out" by finding the science to make it real.

Moderna was initially namedLS18 to indicate it was the 18th life sciences company Afeyan had started. (He's lost track of whether his latest company is LS79 or LS80, he said.) The idea was seeded by a stem cell scientist at nearby Harvard University, Derrick Rossi, who was trying to commercialize his research using the body's most versatile cells to make medicines.

Afeyan said it was a provocative concept. But by May of the following year, when the company was officially launched as Moderna, they had dropped the idea of using stem cells, which Afeyan said were too unstable in the body, and focused instead on messenger RNA (hence the name ModeRNA).

Messenger or mRNA is the body's own delivery system, taking "messages" from the DNA code in the cell's nucleus to a protein manufacturing center.

Where's the COVID-19 vaccine? Who's been vaccinated?Here's how we'll know.

These proteins direct every activity of life, so figuringout how to make them on demand could help people who suffer severe diseases because their bodies make faulty proteinsas with sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis and myriad rare diseases. Such proteins could alsoprime the immune system to target cancer cells, or infectious diseases.

Afeyan and his collaborators wanted to tackle this whole range of medical challenges.

But first, they needed a CEO to run the company.

Afeyan said he had been negotiating with a French entrepreneur who was, like him, a biomedical engineer. ButStphane Bancel wasn't sure he wanted to leave a stable job as CEO of an established diagnostics company for the risk of a startup with a never-before-tried idea.

Bancel was walking home across the Longfellow Bridge from Cambridge to Boston one winter night, when Afeyan called and turned on the hard sell.

Afeyan said he would never have a bigger idea to offer Bancel. If this becomes the next Genentech, "you're going to hate yourself" for not being involved, Afeyan told him, referring to the South San Francisco company that launched the entire biotechnology industry with its birth in 1976.

Later that year, Bancel signed on to run Modernaand continues to lead the company, which has now made several founders and its CEO into billionaires.

The earliest seeds of Moderna

There werea few key scientific advances that led mRNA to where it is today.

Onecame from another Moderna co-founder, Robert Langer, a professor at MIT and a serial entrepreneur.

Early in his career, Langer, who had recently earned his doctorate in chemical engineering from MIT, was struggling to find a job. He didn't want to work in the oil industry, though he'd gotten 20 job offers, including fourfrom Exxon alone.

After months of searching, Dr. Judah Folkman, a passionate doctor at what is now called Boston Children's Hospital finally took a chance on him. Folkman believed he could cure cancer by cutting off the blood supply to tumorsbut he couldn't figure out how to slowly release drugs to work effectively.

Nevermind the political messenger: When it comes to COVID-19 guidance, trust the message, experts say

Langer spent years developinga way to encapsulatenucleic acids the same building blocks as in mRNA vaccines into tiny particles that could make their way into cells.

"At first people didn't think it was possible," Langer said. He published a 1976 paper showing it could be donebut still, it was a slog to get people to believe in its potential.

"After that paper came out, I must have had 10 years of people rejecting grants" to support the work, he said. (His work with Folkman provided the underlying science for the drug Avastin, which earned $7 billion in sales in 2019 and is used to treat many types of cancer as well as wet age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older adults.)

Langer and others made additional improvements over the years, includingadding polyethylene glycol to the surface of particles, which enabled them to survive in the body for longer. That's one of the key ingredients of Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech's vaccines.

In 2010, when Langer was one of the world's best knownbioengineers and a leader in the field of drug delivery, Rossi came to see him with a scientific insight he hoped would be the basis for starting a company. Langer introduced him to Afeyan, and the idea for LS18was born.

By the following year,Rossi moved on and the core group includedLanger, Afeyan, Dr. Kenneth Chien, a prominent cardiologist and researcher, andTimothy Springer, an immunologist at Harvard Medical School.

The four met once a week tobrainstorm, while a handful of scientists at Afeyan's Flagship Pioneering advanced their ideas in the lab.

Moderna's first real home wasan underwhelming office half basement, half ground floor just a few blocks away.

The vision from its earliest days, Langer said, was to build a "platform" that could be used as the basis for drugs, vaccinesand even tissue engineering another field he had helped pioneer.

Some Americans aren't in a rush to get a COVID-19 vaccine: Experts understand, but say there's no need to wait.

For several years, Moderna has been collaboratingon vaccine development withscientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the agency led by Dr. Anthony Fauci.

By the end of 2018 when Moderna went public,it was the biggest initial public offering ever for a biotech company, though shares fell 19% that first day as investors worried it was overpriced.

A year later the company was testing 20 different mRNA's in humans five or six times more research programs than the typical biotech.

That was enough, said Nina Deka, a senior research analyst at ROBO Global, for her fund to decide to make Moderna one of the 85 companies included in its portfolio of health care technology and innovation stocks.

Moderna had recently announced plans to develop a COVID-19 vaccine when ROBO Global decided to invest.

"Not because of what they did this year, but what they've done since the start of the company," Deka said.

With two mRNA vaccines under development, ROBO Global expected that even if Moderna's vaccine didn't succeed, the technology would advance, buoying everyone in the industry.

"It's not just vaccines. It's also cancer. It's also orphan drugs" for rare diseases, she said.

The company had just built a brand new production facility in the Boston suburb of Norwood, and it was using advanced artificial intelligence to direct its research, which ROBO Global appreciated,Deka said.

Plus, it was breaking speed records with its candidate COVID-19 vaccine.

"The next question is," Deka said,"if they can do this quickly, what else can they do?"

US gets more help in raging battle against COVID-19 as FDA authorizes Moderna vaccine, the second allowed for emergency use - USA TODAY

Diamyd Medical and Critical Path Institute announce data sharing collaboration to develop advanced drug development tools in type 1 diabetes -…

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Diamyd Medical and the Critical Path Institute (C-Path) are proud to announce their collaboration to significantly improve the scientific community's insight into type 1 diabetes (T1D) through Diamyd Medical's contribution of fully anonymized data from a European Phase III trial to the Trial Outcome Measures Initiative (TOMI) T1D integrated database.

The Phase III trial evaluated the use of the diabetes vaccine Diamyd, an antigen-specific immunotherapy based on the auto-antigen GAD (glutamic acid decarboxylase), to induce immunological tolerance and stop the autoimmune destruction of insulin producing cells. The Data Contribution Agreement between Diamyd Medical and C-Path will allow for this unique set of fully anonymized clinical trial data to be integrated into an ever-growing list of committed trial data sets within the TOMI-T1D project.

TOMI-T1D is an international partnership between academia, the pharmaceutical industry and nonprofit organizations. It is funded by the world's leading charities dedicated to diabetes research, JDRF, and Diabetes UK, guided by both organizations' strong commitment to facilitate deep interrogation of consolidated community-wide trial data as a means to accelerate clinical research and therapeutic development for T1D. TOMI-T1D aims to create a clinical trial simulation tool (CTST) with large and diverse clinical datasets from the T1D community. The project also seeks to engage the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to identify opportunities for regulatory endorsement of such drug development tools.

The Diamyd Medical data includes relevant information about disease progression, drug effects and clinical trial design. Contribution of these robust data sets from industry led trials is critical to TOMI-T1D's work in developing innovative and quantitative tools that can facilitate clinical development efforts and be endorsed by regulators for future use by the pharmaceutical industry to optimize the design of future clinical trials.

"Progress towards the establishment of approved therapies for people with T1D is critically reliant on participation from our partners in industry with their data", said Simi Ahmed and Elizabeth Robertson, on behalf of the charity partnership.

"This is indeed a right step in that direction", said Colin Dayan, lead PI at Cardiff University.

"We are thrilled that Diamyd Medical is taking a leading role and championing precompetitive collaborations advancing type 1 diabetes regulatory science solutions", said Inish O'Doherty Executive Director at C-Path. "Their data will help in the construction and evaluation of a clinical trial simulation tool to assist in the development of novel therapies for type 1 diabetes patients".

"We are very honored to be part of this important collaboration -involving key stakeholders within the type 1 diabetes landscape, said Ulf Hannelius, President & CEO of Diamyd Medical. "As we are moving into an era of precision medicine in type 1 diabetes, we can expect to see significant therapeutic advances, and access to high quality data will be integral to maximizing these efforts".

About Diabetes UK

1. Diabetes UK's aim is creating a world where diabetes can do no harm. Diabetes is the most devastating and fastest growing health crisis of our time, affecting more people than any other serious health condition in the UK - more than dementia and cancer combined. There is currently no known cure for any type of diabetes. With the right treatment, knowledge and support people living with diabetes can lead a long, full and healthy life. For more information about diabetes and the charity's work, visit http://www.diabetes.org.uk

2. Diabetes is a condition where there is too much glucose in the blood because the body cannot use it properly. If not managed well, both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can lead to devastating complications. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of preventable sight loss in people of working age in the UK and is a major cause of lower limb amputation, kidney failure and stroke.

3. People with type 1 diabetes cannot produce insulin. About 10 per cent of people with diabetes have type 1. No one knows exactly what causes it, but it's not to do with being overweight and it isn't currently preventable. It's the most common type of diabetes in children and young adults, starting suddenly and getting worse quickly. Type 1 diabetes is treated by daily insulin doses - taken either by injections or via an insulin pump. It is also recommended to follow a healthy diet and take regular physical activity.

4. People with type 2 diabetes don't produce enough insulin or the insulin they produce doesn't work properly (known as insulin resistance). Around 90 per cent of people with diabetes have type 2. They might get type 2 diabetes because of their family history, age and ethnic background puts them at increased risk. They are also more likely to get type 2 diabetes if they are overweight. It starts gradually, usually later in life, and it can be years before they realise they have it. Type 2 diabetes is treated with a healthy diet and increased physical activity. In addition, tablets and/or insulin can be required.

Stem Cell Therapy Shows 2-year Benefit for Progressive MS Patients in Phase 1 Trial – Multiple Sclerosis News Today

Lesser or stable disability over two years was evident in most progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) patients given a stem cell treatment in a small Phase 1 clinical trial, supporting a larger study now underway, researchers report.

These results suggest that a treatment using mesenchymal stem cell-derived neural progenitors (MSC-NPs) can safely and effectively ease inflammation in progressive MS.

But for a subset of patients, particularly those with more advanced disease and greater disability, this treatment did not sufficiently counter a continued inflammatory response in the brain.

The study, Mesenchymal stem cell-derived neural progenitors in progressive MS: Two-year follow-up of a phase I study, was published in the journal Neurology: Neuroimmunology and Neuroinflammation.

MSC-NPs are seen as a possible way of treatingpeople with progressive MS, who have few effective disease-modifying treatments available. They are essentially stem cells collected from a patients bone marrow that are expanded and matured to produce factors involved in modulating the immune response and innervous tissue growth and survival.

An open-label Phase 1 trial (NCT01933802) investigated this stem cell treatment in 20 adults with stable primary(four PPMS patients) or secondary progressive MS(16 SPMS patients) and significant disability.

All received a total of three injections of MSC-NPs, given directly into the spinal canal three months apart. They were then evaluated at three and six months, and again at two years, after the final treatment to determine its long-term safety and tolerability, and for signs of potential effectiveness.

An initial analysisat six months post-treatment found lesser disability in most trial participants (15 of the 20) andbetter muscle strength in 14 of them. Greater exercise capacity was also seen in four of the 10 patients able to walk at the studys start, and two nonambulatory patients gained an ability to walk using assistive devices.

Researchers now reported clinical findings at two years after treatment. All 20 completed two-year follow-up assessments, buttwo who were severely disabled could not do a final in-person visit. They were examined via telemedicine and did not provide biomarker samples.

Disability was evaluated using the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), in which a higher score indicates more severe disability. The two who moved to telemedicine had EDSS scores of 8.0.

At six months, eight participants had an EDSS reduction of at least 0.5 points, including four with disability reductions of two or more points. At the two-year follow-up, seven of these eight people continued to show improvements in their EDSS scores, including two who showed a sustained 2.0 or more point reduction.

The eighth patient, whose disability had initially improved by one point, showed a worsening in disability at two years.

Of the 10 patients without initial improvements in EDSS scores, six had no evidence of disease progression throughout the study and follow-up. Two others worsened at each follow-up, and two showed worsening disease between the six-month and two-year examinations.

Of the 10 nonambulatory patients at the trials start, four showed improvements in walking speed greater than 20% at three months post-treatment. At two years, three had maintained these walking speed gains, while one fell just below the 20% improvement mark.

One of the two people unable to walk at the beginning of the study completed the walking test at both the three-month and two-year exams. One other patient, with an initial normal walking speed, maintained that speed throughout the trial and follow-up periods.

These results indicate that multiple MSC-NP treatments led to disability reduction for most progressive patients with long-standing disease. But those who sustained these gains at two years after treatment had lower EDSS and ambulatory status at baseline or the studys start, the researchers wrote.

A subset of patients with initial improvement failed to maintain shown benefits, while others showed no disease progression throughout the follow-up.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of CCL2, a pro-inflammatory factor, were lower following treatment, while levels of the anti-inflammatory TGF beta 2 rose post-treatment, consistent with previous studies of similar treatments.

Interestingly, no difference here was observed between patients whose disability improved in response to the treatment (responders) and those who failed to improve (non-responders).

However, some inflammatory factors were seen to rise after treatment in non-responders, but not among those who responded to treatment. This suggests that a continued inflammatory response may hinder clinical response to MSC-NP use.

Neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels in the CSF, a marker of nerve cell degeneration and damage, can be elevated in MS patients. Among a small number of trial patients with high NfL levels prior to treatment, these levels rose further in nonresponders after treatment while they declined among responders.

We observed that most subjects who received repeated [MSC-NP] injections exhibited either a reversal in disability or lack of disease progression that was sustained for 2 years after treatment, the researchers wrote.

The impact of any efficacy conclusion, however, are severely limited by the very small number of patients in the study and the lack of blinding and placebo controls, they added.

An ongoing and placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT03355365), which opened last year, is now investigating the safety and efficacy of repeat MSC-NP injections in progressive MS patients. The study is expected to have enrolled50 adults with progressive MS (40 SPMS and 10 PPMS), being given a total of six injections of either MSC-NPs or a placebo every other month for a first year.

In its second year, those in the MSC-NP group cross to the placebo group and those previously on a placebo move to treatment again for six total injections given every two months. This single-site trial at the Tisch MS Research Center of New Yorkwill run for three years, and is expected to finish in late 2023.

Dr Clarence Moore Discusses the Importance of Stem Cell Therapy, Heart Health in Beta Thalassemia – AJMC.com Managed Markets Network

Clarence Moore, PharmD, BCPS, BCOP, assistant professor at Shenandoah University in Ashburn, Virginia, discusses how stem cell therapy and heart health can help patients manage beta thalassemia.

Transcript

How has the emergence of stem cell therapy changed the lives of people with beta thalassemia?

Stem cell therapy is offering a cure. So, with us really looking at stem cell therapy, with the more and more work [being done], we'll be able to see that these individuals will no longer have to experience this lifelong disease, and they could potentially be cured.

What is the importance of heart health for patients, especially those with beta thalassemia major?

Heart health is very important. When you look at one of the largest comorbidities that is associated with [beta thalassemia], it is heart health. You can see some cardiomyopathy develop. So, maintaining heart health is very important in decreasing the morbidity and mortality associated with the disease state.

What is the importance conducting blood tests to determine beta thalassemia types in young children?

I think that it's very important. Knowing upfront what disease or what type of beta thalassemia that these individuals may have is going to be vital for us to manage it. And if we're able to potentially manage that at the earlier stage, we could potentially have better outcomes in the future.

For Patients With HMA-Resistant MDS, What Are Their Options? – AJMC.com Managed Markets Network

Although hypomethylating agents (HMAs) are a cornerstone of treatment for the majority of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) cases, there are patients who are resistant to such treatment, representing a need for other treatment options, reports the study in Therapeutic Advances in Hematology.

Both azacitidine (AZA) and decitabine (DEC) are HMAs approved in the United States for all patients with MDS, and most patients who respond to the treatments will do so within the first 6 cycles. With this threshold, its recommended to complete 6 cycles of AZA before considering a patient as HMA refractory.

Since the prognosis of patients failing HMA therapy is dismal except for the small minority of patients eligible for allo-SCT [allogeneic stem cell transplant], there is an urgent need for both prevention of HMA failure by (1) optimization of frontline therapies (eg, adding synergistic agents to HMA therapy) and/or (2) improved salvage therapies for HMA-refractory MDS patients, explained the researchers.

For these patients who are resistant to HMA treatment, there are no formal recommendations, but several options, spanning from novel HMAs to chemotherapy, have been or are currently being studied in the setting.

Outside of AZA and DEC, which have short half-lives potentially limiting their biologic activity, guadecitabine has emerged as a more effective, easier-to-administer option that has also demonstrated tolerability.

Oral ASTX727, a combination of cedazuridine and DEC, has preliminary data from 50 patients with MDS or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. The data show an overall response rate (ORR) of 62%, and the most common grade >3 adverse events were hematologic (eg, neutropenia, 48%; thrombocytopenia, 38%; anemia, 22%; leukopenia, 20%), febrile neutropenia (38%), and pneumonia (20%). There is currently an ongoing phase 3 trial comparing the oral option with intravenous DEC.

An oral option of AZA, CC-486, is also being tested in clinical trials.

The review, while highlighting promising treatment options for these patients, also offers rationale for not using certain treatment options. For example, although lenalidomide has proven effective in the first-line setting for patients with del(5q), the treatment has a limited benefit in these patients who are refractory to HMAs, leading researchers to recommend against lenalidomide being used outside of the frontline setting for the subgroup of patients.

Chemotherapy, frequently used for medically fit patients as a bridge to allo-SCT, was tested in an international multicenter retrospective analysis of over 300 patients who were refractory to HMA. The study, which used 3 intensive induction chemotherapy regimens, boasted an ORR of 41% and median overall survival of 10.8 months. Forty percent of patients were bridged to allo-SCT, the only potentially curative options for patients with MDS.

Other research has indicated that medically fit should not exclusively qualify patients for chemotherapy treatment, with some data suggesting that the decision should also take into account molecular and cytogenetic features.

Ongoing research is also being targeted at combining HMAs with intensive chemotherapy, other forms of epigenetic therapy, venetoclax, and immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Are Hiccups a Sign of the New Coronavirus? – Healthline

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a pandemic.

Since then, COVID-19 has affected tens of millions of people around the world, leading to new discoveries about the symptoms that can accompany the disease.

Recently, multiple case studies have suggested that persistent hiccups may be a potentially rare and unusual manifestation of COVID-19.

In this article, well discuss whether hiccups are a sign of the new coronavirus, when to contact your doctor about frequent hiccups, and other important information you should know about COVID-19.

According to the research, it is possible that hiccups are a rare sign of COVID-19.

In one recent 2020 case study, a 64-year-old man was found to have persistent hiccups as the only symptom of COVID-19.

In this situation, the subject of the study visited an outpatient clinic after experiencing a bout of hiccups for 72 hours.

Both blood testing and lung imaging were performed. They revealed evidence of infection in both lungs and low white blood cells. Follow-up testing for COVID-19 revealed a positive diagnosis.

In a different 2020 case study, a 62-year-old man was also found to have experienced hiccups as a symptom of the new coronavirus.

In this case, the subject had been experiencing hiccups for a period of 4 days before presentation to the emergency room.

Upon admission, further testing showed similar findings in their lungs, as well as low white blood cells and platelets. Again, testing for COVID-19 confirmed a positive diagnosis.

It is important to note that the studies mentioned above are only two individual case studies. They only demonstrate a potentially rare side effect of COVID-19.

More research is still needed to determine the link between chronic hiccups and the new coronavirus.

Hiccups are quite common and happen when your diaphragm involuntarily spasms or contracts. Your diaphragm is your muscle directly beneath your lungs that separates your chest from your abdomen.

Hiccups can be caused by everything from eating to swallowing air to stress, and much more.

While they can be somewhat annoying, hiccups are rarely a sign of anything dangerous. Generally, hiccups only last a few minutes although in some cases, they have been known to last for hours.

According to the National Health Service, hiccups that last longer than 48 hours are considered a cause for concern and should be addressed by a doctor.

Medical treatment options for hiccups are generally reserved for people with chronic hiccups that dont resolve on their own. Some of these treatment options may include:

For most people, hiccups will resolve on their own they generally only become a concern if they become chronic or cause other health concerns.

You should talk with a doctor if your hiccups last longer than 48 hours, as this may be a sign of an underlying health condition.

You may also need to talk with a doctor if your hiccups cause you to be unable to eat, breathe, or do anything else you would typically be able to do.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the most common symptoms of COVID-19 include:

Symptoms of COVID-19 can appear anywhere from 2 to 14 days after exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Depending on the severity of the disease, the symptoms can range from asymptomatic (no symptoms at all) to severe.

In some situations, COVID-19 can cause uncommon symptoms that are not listed above, such as dizziness or rash.

Even rarer, case studies like those mentioned above have shown how other unusual symptoms can be a sign of the new coronavirus.

If you are experiencing new symptoms and concerned that you may have developed COVID-19, speak with your doctor as soon as possible for testing.

While not everyone needs to be tested for COVID-19, the CDC recommends getting tested if:

There are two types of testing available for COVID-19: viral testing and antibody testing. Viral testing is used to diagnose a current infection, while antibody testing can be used to detect a past infection.

Tests are available nationwide at most local or state health departments, doctors offices, and pharmacies. Some states also currently offer drive-thru testing and 24-hour emergency testing when necessary.

We all play an important role in preventing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The best way to reduce your risk of contracting, or spreading, this new coronavirus is to practice personal hygiene and physical distancing.

This means following the CDC guidelines for preventing the spread of COVID-19 and being mindful of your own health and testing status.

Staying informed about current and developing COVID-19 news is also important you can keep up to date with Healthlines live coronavirus updates here.

Below, youll find some CDC recommended guidelines to protect yourself and prevent the spread of COVID-19:

According to the CDC, in December 2020, a vaccine from Pfizer was granted emergency use authorization and approval for a vaccine from Moderna is expected to follow.

It may take months before most people have access to this vaccine, but there are also treatment options available.

The current treatment recommendation for mild cases of COVID-19 is recovery at home. In more severe cases, certain medical treatments may be used, such as:

As the COVID-19 situation continues to develop, so do new treatment options to help combat the disease.

Many of the symptoms of COVID-19 are commonly experienced among people who have developed the disease. However, research has suggested that some people may experience other rare and unusual symptoms.

In two recent case studies, persistent hiccups were the only outward sign of the new coronavirus. While this indicates that hiccups may be a potential symptom of COVID-19, more research is needed on this rare side effect.
