This study is a Phase 2b, Multicenter, Open-label, Randomized, Comparator- Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Desidustat Tablet for the Management of mild, moderate and severe COVID-19 patients. 100 mg of Desidustat will be administered for a period of 14 days along with recommended standard care during the trial.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

This is a phase 2b, multicenter, open-label, randomized, comparator-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Desidustat for the management of COVID-19 patients. First 12 mild to moderate subjects (Test arm: Desidustat + Standard of care arm, 06 subjects and Reference arm: Standard of care, 06 subjects) will be enrolled in the study and after evaluation of safety of these 12 subjects by Data Monitoring Committee other 12 severe subjects (Test arm: Desidustat + Standard of care arm, 06 subjects and Reference arm: Standard of care arm, 06 subjects) will be enrolled in the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Clinical status of subject on a 7-point ordinal scale
Time Frame: Week 2
  1. Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities.
  2. Not hospitalized, limitation on activities.
  3. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen.
  4. Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen.
  5. Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices.

  7. Death.
