Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety of RQ-01 in SARS-CoV-2 Positive Subjects
Summary
This is a first in human clinical study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of RQ-01. Adult patients who have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 virus, have mild symptom(s) of COVID-19 disease, and who are at low risk for developing moderate or severe COVID-19 disease are welcome to participate. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. What is the safety profile of RQ-01? 2. What is the reduction in SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid (RNA) shedding after administration of RQ-01? 3. How effective is RQ-01 versus placebo in reducing COVID-19 symptoms? After providing informed consent, subjects will be randomized to RQ-01 (high or low dose) or placebo and will be dosed for 3 consecutive days. Throughout the duration of the trial, subjects will participate in the following activities: perform rapid antigen and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for COVID-19, answer questions about their medical history and medications, answer questions about their COVID-19 history and symptoms, conduct a physical exam, have their vitals measured, and have bloodwork done.
