Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Mild COVID 19 patients aged 18-60 years (inclusive), at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF), with Nasopharyngeal swab positivity in RT-PCR tests for SARS-Cov-2 antigens detected (within 72.0 hrs before visit 02) during screening. 2. Case categories according to severity as per Ministry of health & Family welfare, Govt. of India guidelines: ï?· Mild/Uncomplicated illness: Patients with uncomplicated upper respiratory tract viral infection may have non-specific symptoms such as fever, cough, expectoration, shortness of breath, myalgia, fatigue, sore throat, nasal congestion, diarrhea, loss of taste with Nasopharyngeal swab positivity in RT-PCR tests for SARS-Cov-2 antigens. ï?· Mild pneumonia with Nasopharyngeal swab positivity in RT-PCR tests for SARS-Cov-2 antigens. 3. Additional Inclusion Criteria a) For mild cases: The interval between symptoms onset (or day of contact with a COVID-19 for asymptomatic patients detected during surveillance) and randomization is no more than 7 days. b) Eligible subjects of child-bearing age (male or female) must agree to take effective contraceptive measures (including hormonal contraception, barrier methods or abstinence) with his/her partner during the study period. c) Should not participate in any other interventional drug clinical studies before completion of the present study. Patients with or without hospitalization or patients in institutional quarantine. If the subject is hospitalized should fit in the working definitions of the mildly symptomatic category of severity of COVID 19.
