Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of PTC299 (Emvododstat) in Hospitalized Participants With Coronavirus (COVID-19) (NCT NCT04439071)
NCT ID: NCT04439071
Last Updated: 2023-06-26
Results Overview
Respiratory improvement was defined as sustained peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≥94% on room air. Median time to respiratory improvement was estimated via the Kaplan-Meier product limit method.

An AE was as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An SAE was an AE that met at least 1 of the following criteria: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization for the AE, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect (in the child of a participant who was exposed to the study drug), important medical event or reaction. TEAEs were defined as any AEs that occurred on or after the first study treatment through 30 days after the last dose, or any AEs occurring before the first study treatment but worsening during the treatment through 30 days after the last dose. A summary of all Serious Adverse Events and Other Adverse Events (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Reported Adverse Events' Section.

Timeframe: up to Day 28Population: ITT population included all randomized participants. Here, 'Overall number of participants analyzed' = participants evaluable for this outcome measure.
Respiratory improvement was defined as SpO2 ≥94% on room air. Median time to respiratory improvement was estimated via the Kaplan-Meier product limit method.
