8. In case of female patients of child-bearing potential, a negative urine pregnancy test prior to beginning the therapy.
9. Patient agrees to completely abstain from sexual activity or to take effective contraception measures (including hormonal contraception or double barrier method) with his/her partner during the study period.
As per latest Guidance documents updated periodically by Directorate General of Health Services, MoHFW, GOI
1. Patients with â??moderateâ?? or â??severeâ?? COVID-19 disease severity, as defined by latest Comprehensive Guidelines for Management of COVID-19 patients, Directorate General of Health Services, MoHFW, GOI and Guidelines for Management of COVID-19 in Children (below 18 years)â??, MoHFW, GOI at the time of randomization. This includes any one or more of the following:
A) Peripheral Blood oxygen saturation < 94%
B) Respiratory Rate >= 24 breaths per minute for adults and >= 30 breaths per minute for patients aged 12 to <18 years.
C) Presence of shortness of breath (dyspnea) at rest, as a symptom
D) Grunting, severe retraction of chest, lethargy, somnolence and Seizure in patients aged 12 to <18 years
2. Patients with first onset of symptom(s) known to be associated with COVID-19 was >5 days prior to the day of randomization
3. Patients who are currently hospitalized/ need hospitalization OR are expected to deteriorate to need hospitalization for COVID-19 management within 48 hours after randomization, in the opinion of the Investigator
4. Patients with previous history of hypersensitivity or contra-indication to the IMP 2-deoxy-D-glucose or to the imaging marker fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).
5. Patients with :
A) Presence of Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
B) Presence or History of any Cardiac conduction disorders OR QTc interval >500 ms at baseline assessment
C) Presence of gastrointestinal disorder that could affect absorption of orally administered 2-DG solution
D) Presence or history of any other disease or condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could prevent, limit or confound protocol-specified assessments or could jeopardize the safety of patient if (s)he were to participate in the study
6. Pregnant and Lactating patients.
7. Patients not expected to survive longer than 48 hours (due to any reason) at the time of randomization, in the opinion of the Investigator
8. Patients who are receiving drugs that are known to prolong QT interval of the heart (including hydroxychloroquine) or are expected to require treatment with the same during the study period
9. Patients that are currently or have participated in such studies participating in other clinical studies with investigational drug, biological agent or device within 1 month or within 5 half-lives (of the drug/biologic) prior to randomization (whichever is longer).
10. Patients with body weight <35 or > 105 kg.
Categorization of COVID-19 disease severity as â??mildâ??, â??moderateâ??, â??severeâ?? is as per the â??Comprehensive Guidelines for Management of COVID-19 patientsâ?? (In Adults) Directorate General of Health Services, MoHFW, GOI and
COVID-19 disease severity, as defined by â??Guidelines for Management of COVID-19 in Children (below 18 years)â??, MoHFW, GOI
