Study of Codivir in Patients With COVID-19

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Covid19
• Interventions: Drug: Covidir injections; Diagnostic Test: One Step Test; Diagnostic Test: IgM and IgG dosage; Diagnostic Test: RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2; Diagnostic Test: Screening blood test; Diagnostic Test: ECG; Diagnostic Test: Medical evaluation; Diagnostic Test: NEWS-2 score; Diagnostic Test: WHO score

• Registration Number: NCT04930861
• Lead Sponsor: Code Pharma

Brief Summary

This is an open-label study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of Codivir in 12 mild or moderate COVID-19 patients and onset of symptoms within 72h prior to their inclusion. Treatment will begin in the hospital, participants will be discharged at Day 4 and continue the treatment up to Day 10 at home and followed up to day 28.

Detailed Description

Eligible participants who agree to participate will be submitted to safety assessments, an RT-PCR and a quick test for COVID-19. Everyone will receive the treatments indicated for their case, except for other investigational medications. Codivir will be administered in addition to these treatments at a dose of 20 mg SC twice daily for 10 days. Participants will remain hospitalized for the first 3 days.

If they have progressed well, they will continue the treatment up to Day 10 at home, receiving a nurse's home visit twice a day to administer Codivir and collect vital signs. Participants will be followed up to Day 28 by telemedicine. A doctor will call them periodically to monitor the clinical evolution, collect adverse events, concomitant medication and instruct the participants. In case of unfavorable evolution, the participants will remain hospitalized receiving the appropriate care. The investigator will decide whether or not the investigational medication will continue, considering the participant's health and well-being.
