It is not hard to extrapolate, then, that patients with multiple contributing factors for reduced glutathione levels may experience more severe disability and worse outcomes due to the loss of the antioxidant
Multi-omics studies revealed that SARS-CoV-2 infection provokes significant changes in numerous metabolites including those impacting on virus propagation (one-carbon metabolism) and GSH synthesis (amino acids glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine) that could be used as early prognosis biomarkers in COVID-19 at diagnose to predict severe COVID-19 and LONG COVID (Doan et al., 2021

Integrating serial fluid measures with SPION/targeted MRI or PET may therefore yield a combined imaging and biomarker signature that improves early detection, helps distinguish progression from treatment effects, and supports treatment timing decisions (139, 140)
Phase 2/II: Phase 2 awards are often a Follow On application awarded after startups have successfully been awarded a Phase 1 proposal, have achieved the established technical merit of their R&D, and apply and compete successfully for the prototyping and field-testing Phase 2 of their project
