Brief Summary

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

This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MRx-4DP0004 in patients with COVID-19.

90 hospitalised patients will be enrolled and randomised (2:1) to receive MRx-4DP0004 or placebo for up to 14 days.

MRx-4DP0004 is an immunomodulating Live Biotherapeutic Product (LBP) which is expected to prevent or reduce the hyperinflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 infection without impairing viral clearance.
