Study of ANA001 in Moderate and Severe COVID-19 Patients

Detailed Description

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

This is a 2 part, Phase 2/3 multi-center, double blinded, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of oral niclosamide (ANA001) in moderate and severe hospitalized COVID-19 patients compared to placebo.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ANA001

Subjects in the ANA001 treatment arm will receive 1,000 mg (4 capsules; 250 mg each) by mouth twice per day for 7 consecutive days with a meal. If the participant requires mechanical ventilation over the course of the study, ANA001 may be administered via nasogastric (NG), percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) or orogastric (OG) tube and, if possible, should be administered with a scheduled nasogastric (NG) or orogastric (OG) feeding.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Niclosamide

Intervention Type DRUG

Niclosamide is an antihelmintic with in-vitro antiviral activity

Matching Placebo

Subjects in the comparator arm will receive matching placebo (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC)) (4 capsules, by mouth twice a day) for the 7-day treatment duration.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

Matching hydroxypropylmethylcellulose HPMC capsules with no active ingredients
