Patients will be seen in a medical facility (ER or COVID-19 clinic) for initial evaluation. Consenting, diagnostically-confirmed COVID-19 patients not in need of hospitalization per investigator assessment and who meet all other inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized to treatment and provided with medication and home monitoring devices, and instructed in drug administration and use of the devices. They will take medication daily for two weeks, complete a smartphone-based questionnaire, provide additional monitoring information via devices provided periodically over an 8-week period. Patients will be seen at home by a study nurse or return to the clinic after 2, 4 and 8 weeks on study (follow up visits); additional televisits will also be conducted. At the follow up visits nasal swab specimens for COVID-19 PCR and blood specimens for safety labs and disease markers will be collected.~In part A of the study, patients will be randomized 1:1:1 to one of two doses of upamostat or placebo. Based on safety results of part A, a dose for part B will be selected, and patients will be randomized 3:2 to active vs placebo.
A 2-part, multicenter, Phase 2/3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of upamostat in adult patients with COVID-19 disease who do not require inpatient care.
