Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In this study, RESP301 is investigated as a post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). RESP301 is a liquid which is inhaled using a handheld nebuliser and produces Nitric Oxide, which is also naturally produced in the human body and is a key part of our defence against infections in the lungs. In a laboratory setting,RESP301 has been shown to be highly effective against many respiratory viruses, including CoV2 and influenza.

RESP301 is currently being used as treatment for hospitalised COVID-19 patients in an ongoing clinical trial.

The aim of this PEP study is to prevent onward transmission of the infection within households by treating both the infected individual and their household members. The primary endpoint is to evaluate the incidence of newly confirmed CoV2 infection (PCR positive) in previously uninfected household members (PCR negative, antibody negative and unvaccinated) of CoV-2 positive index cases after a 7 day course of treatment.

Participants who are not eligible to participate, or do not want to participate will be invited to take part in an optional study where the participants will be asked to complete a short questionnaire.

Participants will be on the study for a total duration of 15-17 days. Approximately 600 adults will be on the study in total and index cases will be randomised 1:1 to either RESP301 (plus SOC) or SOC alone, with all eligible persons in the same household enrolled into the same treatment arm.

The study will be divided into the following periods: Baseline Visit / screening (1 day): Treatment Period (self administered at home - 7 days): End of Treatment Period (1 day): Follow-Up Period (~5-7 days): Follow-Up Call (1 day between day 15-17)

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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

  4. Negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing age at Baseline visit (includes screening).
  5. Able to operate and maintain nebuliser, as assessed by the Investigator.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Both Index cases and Household members: Unable to tolerate use of a nebuliser for approximately 8-10 minutes as required by the study according to Investigator's opinion

  2. Both Index and Household members:

    1. Any unstable, uncontrolled or severe medical condition which in the opinion of the investigator would make the participant unsuitable for the trial
    2. COPD/Asthma or any severe respiratory disease requiring the use of oral steroids or biologics
  3. Participation in other clinical investigations utilising investigational treatment within the last 30 days / 5 half-lives whichever is longer
  4. Participant lives at home with no other potentially eligible adults in the household
  5. Women of childbearing age unable or unwilling to use an adequate form of contraception for the duration of the study i.e. double barrier contraceptives.
