About this study

Official title: A Phase 2a Randomized Controlled Trial of MIB-626 (NAD-boosting Drug) vs. Placebo in Adults With COVID-19 Infection and Early Acute Kidney Injury

The proposed phase 2a trial will determine whether MIB-626 treatment in adults with COVID-19 infection and stage 1 acute kidney injury is more efficacious than placebo in preventing worsening of kidney function, as assessed by longitudinal changes in serum creatinine concentration, and in attenuating the inflammatory response to the infection.

Read the detailed description

This is a two-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, phase 2a study that will determine the efficacy and safety of MIB-626 treatment relative to placebo in adult patients with COVID-19 infection and stage 1 acute kidney injury.

Hospitalized adult patients with a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19 infection will be screened for conformity to inclusion and exclusion criteria and those meeting eligibility criteria on screening will be offered participation in the study. Fifty participants, who meet all the eligibility criteria, and are able and willing to provide informed consent, will be randomized, stratified by sex, remdesivir use, and trial site, in a 3:2 ratio to receive either MIB-626 1.0 g orally or matching placebo twice daily for 14 days. The participants, who are discharged from the hospital before the completion of the 14-day intervention period, will be provided sufficient study medication to take home with them so they can continue to take the medication twice daily for the remaining duration of the 14-day intervention period.

Study groups in NCT05038488
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
MIB-626ExperimentalOral administration of MIB-626 substantially raises the intracellular NAD+ levels and activates signaling mechanisms that regulate inflammation and cell survival, downregulates the NLRP3 inflammasome, and attenuates the inflammatory response in a number of experimental models, and protects against tissue damage induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Receives: Drug: MIB-626
Placebo TabletPlacebo comparatorA placebo control will be supplied. Participants randomized to placebo will receive matching tablet. Matching placebo tablets will be provided by the study's Sponsor, Metro International Biotech, LLC.

Model description
This will be a two center, randomized, double-blind, placebo- controlled, parallel group, efficacy trial to determine the efficacy of MIB-626 treatment relative to placebo in adult patients with COVID-19 infection and stage 1 acute kidney injury. Participants will be screened for eligibility and those meeting eligibility criteria will be offered participation in the study. The subjects will be randomized by minimization to receive MIB-626 or placebo twice daily for up to 14 days. The participants will be followed for 28 days after the administration of the last dose of the investigational product. Kidney function will be ascertained by daily measurements of serum creatinine, which is the standard of care in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MIB-626 and Home Treatment in people with Covid19 and Stage 1 Acute Kidney Injury, run by Metro International Biotech, LLC at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in serum cystatin C levels (time frame: enrollment to 14 days or hospital discharge, or death, whichever comes first). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05038488, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Aug 2024.
