About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Two Arm, Controlled Clinical Trial to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Mycobacterium w (Mw) Administered Along With Standard of Care Versus Placebo Administered Along With Standard of Care, in Adult, COVID 19 Positive Patients Hospitalized But Not Critically Ill.

This is a randomized, double blind, two arms, placebo controlled, clinical trial to study to evaluate the the safety and efficacy of Mycobacterium w in combination with standard of care versus placebo with standard of care for preventing the progression of COVID-19 disease and for reduction in transfer to ICU in COVID-19 infected patients admitted to the hospital.

Read the detailed description

Total 480 hospitalized adult eligible patients will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive either Mw+SOC or placebo+SOC for first 3 days post-randomization.

Daily clinical evaluation of patient will be performed till discharge from hospital or till ICU admission.

Study duration for each patient will be approximately up to 28 days, or discharge from hospital or transfer to ICU, whichever is earlier.

A Phase 3 study testing Suspension of heat killed (autoclaved) Mycobacterium w in people with COVID-19, run by Cadila Pharnmaceuticals at 4 sites in India.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
