ODYSSEY: A Study to Investigate the Efficacy of Tradipitant in Treating Severe or Critical COVID-19 Infection

Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of tradipitant 85 mg orally given twice daily to treat inflammatory lung injury associated with severe or critical COVID-19 infection. On evaluation for enrollment, participant will need to meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria.
