NCT05305508 | COMPLETED | COVID-19 Virus Disease

Assessment of the Efficacy of Calcium Dobesilate vs. Placebo on SARS-CoV-2 Viral Load Amongst Outpatients With COVID-19.
Sponsor:

Hervé Spechbach

Information provided by (Responsible Party):

Hervé Spechbach

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CaD in reducing SARS-CoV-2 viral load in non-hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19, documented with a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR and with the occurrence of COVID-19 symptoms.

Condition or disease

COVID-19 Virus Disease

Intervention/treatment

Calcium Dobesilate

Mannitol

Phase

PHASE2

Detailed Description:

This study is a phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, monocenter trial. The study will assess the efficacy and safety of CaD compared to placebo in reducing SARS-CoV-2 viral load in non-hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19, as well as monitoring symptoms severity, progression of the disease to severe form, and persistence of symptoms. The treatment period is seven consecutive days, followed by a 12-weeks observational period without treatment administration. Enrolled patients will be randomized, in a ratio of 1:1 into the following treatment groups: - IMP arm: patients will receive 2 x 2 capsules of Calcium Dobesilate (CaD) 500 mg (total of 2000 mg) daily for seven consecutive days - Placebo arm: patients will receive 2 x 2 capsules of matching placebo (Mannitol 500 mg) daily for seven consecutive days.

Study Type : INTERVENTIONAL
Estimated Enrollment : 74 participants
Masking : DOUBLE
Masking Description : The central pharmacy of the HUG is responsible for preparation of the randomization list and of the blinding of the study treatments. Randomization will be done in variable-sized blocks (size 4) in random sequence. Pharmacists will be un-blinded. Care providers and/or outcome assessors, nurses, clinical research associates, investigators and patients will be blinded. Participants will be allocated to either the treatment group (CaD) or placebo group at Day 1 visit through randomization process, and will be dispensed the full treatment regimen on-site, including instructions on intake and explanations of side-effects. The investigators will receive from the central pharmacy of the HUG all the study treatments and the participant's allocated treatment randomization number. Thus, the subjects who meet the eligibility criteria will dynamically be randomized at 1:1 ratio and be assigned either to the CaD or to the placebo arms during Day 1 visit.
