Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical trial is a randomized, blinded, two arms, placebo controlled, clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Mycobacterium w in combination with standard care as per hospital practice to prevent COVID 19 in subjects at risk of getting infected with COVID 19.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Approximately eligible 4000 subjects who are at risk of getting infected with COVID-19 (i.e. person living in same household as COVID-19 patients / healthcare workers providing direct care to COVID-19 patients) will be enrolled in to the study after due consent and based on the eligibility criteria.

Initially, 400 subjects at risk of getting infected with COVID-19 will be enrolled in the study and randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive either Mw (n=200) or placebo (n=200). After the interim analysis from the data of these 400 subjects for safety and efficacy and based on review and recommendations from DSMB / MC, modification in study design, objective or sample size will be considered.

Study duration for each subject will be of 8 weeks.
