Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of IMU-838 as Addition to Investigator's Choice of Standard of Care Therapy, in Patients With Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) (NCT NCT04379271)

NCT ID: NCT04379271

Last Updated: 2024-11-13

Results Overview

Number of Participants Stratified as those With and Without the Need for INV Until End-of-study (EoS). For this outcome a worst case approach was used in which patients who were lost to follow-up or who discontinued the trial on or before Day 13 due to any other reason than death and discontinued with a last observed WHO clinical status no lower than that at Screening, and patients who died were considered as patients requiring INV.

Measure
IMU-838
twice-daily (BID) oral 22.5 mg IMU-838 (45 mg/day + SoC) IMU-838: Tablets will be taken BID with a glass of water (if possible); one tablet each in the morning (15 to 50 min before a meal if applicable), and in the evening (2 hours after any meal if applicable). If the patient is intubated for ventilation, IMP is to be given via a gastric tube. The tablet has no coating and a homogeneous content and can be crushed into smaller pieces (if necessary) for dosing via gastric tube.
Placebo
twice-daily (BID) oral placebo (+ SoC) Placebo: Matching placebo, twice-daily administration BID as described for the test product, identical number of tablets as given for IMU-838

Only patients with viral load measured from nasopharyngeal swab and results provided by the central laboratory (Covance) were included.Conversion to a negative SARS-CoV-2 status is only assumed if a negative test is confirmed by all available subsequent assessments. This means for Day 28/early termination visit no confirmation is needed. If no conversion to a negative status is documented, patients will be censored for survival analysis at the time of the last documented positive test result.

If the patient is intubated for ventilation, IMP is to be given via a gastric tube. The tablet has no coating and a homogeneous content and can be crushed into smaller pieces (if necessary) for dosing via gastric tube.
