Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Approximately eligible 4000 subjects who are at risk of getting infected with COVID-19 (i.e. person living in same household as COVID-19 patients / healthcare workers providing direct care to COVID-19 patients) will be enrolled in to the study after due consent and based on the eligibility criteria.

Initially, 400 subjects at risk of getting infected with COVID-19 will be enrolled in the study and randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive either Mw (n=200) or placebo (n=200). After the interim analysis from the data of these 400 subjects for safety and efficacy and based on review and recommendations from DSMB / MC, modification in study design, objective or sample size will be considered.

Study duration for each subject will be of 8 weeks.
