Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if prophylaxis with RTB101 decreases the severity of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 among adults ≥ 65 years who reside in a nursing homes in which one or more residents or staff have laboratory-confirmed COVID-19
Detailed description
RTB101-210 is Placebo-Controlled Study to Determine if Prophylaxis with RTB101 as Compared to Placebo Reduces the Severity of Laboratory-Confirmed COVID-19 in Adults Age ≥65 Years who Reside in a Nursing Home in which One or More Residents or Staff have Laboratory-Confirmed COVID-19. This trial is being conducted in follow up to a Phase 3 trial, in which trends toward a reduction in the severity of laboratory-confirmed RTIs including coronavirus RTIs were again seen. Therefore, RTB101 is a potential pan antiviral immunotherapy that may prevent or ameliorate viral RTIs, including COVID-19, in older adults.
Interventions
Oral RTB101 10 mg hard gelatin capsule once daily for 4 weeks
Oral matching placebo once daily for 4 weeks
