Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of Niclosamide injectable (DWRX2003) following multiple doses of DWRX2003 in moderate to severe COVID-19 patients.Timepoint: From Baseline to End of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Efficacy will be assessed by 1. Proportion of patients requiring mechanical ventilation (invasive mechanical ventilation) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or patients who die due to the aggravation of SARS-CoV-2 infection up till day 14, 28 2. Change from baseline in WHO clinical progression scale at day 4, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 3. Change from baseline in patients having WHO clinical progression scale of 5 or 6 at day 4, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 Timepoint: From Baseline to End of treatment;Efficacy will be assessed by 1. Proportion of patients whose National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) has decreased from the baseline at day 4, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 2. Proportion of patients who achieve NEWS2 score 0 at day 4, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 3. The oxygenation period of patients with oxygen by mask or nasal prongs until day 28. 4. The oxygenation period of patients with non-invasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen until day 28. Timepoint: From Baseline to End of treatement;Efficacy will be assessed by 1. Proportion of patients whose World Health Organization (WHO) clinical progression scale has decreased by 1 or 2 from the baseline at day 4, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 2. The number of patients who achieve WHO clinical progression scale of 0 to 4 from the baseline at day 14, and 28. 3. The number of patients who achieve WHO clinical progression scale of 0 at day 14, and 28. 4. The number of patients who achieve WHO clinical progression scale of 1 at day 14, and 28. Timepoint: From Baseline to End of treatment;Efficacy will be assessed by 1. The oxygenation period of patients with intubation and mechanical ventilation, partial pressure of oxygen (pO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) â?¥150 or oxygen saturation (SpO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) â?¥200 until day 28. 2.
