About this study

Official title: Open Multicenter Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Aerosolized MIR 19 ® Inhalation in Adult Outpatients With Mild COVID-19.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of MIR 19 ® in preventing development of moderate and/or severe course of the disease in mild COVID-19 outpatients.

Primary endpoint:

The proportion of patients with the development of moderate or severe COVID-19 disease (in accordance with the criteria specified in the Interim Guidelines "Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of new coronavirus infection (COVID-19)" by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, version 14 of 27.12.2021 or current at the time of the study) by the 28th day of observation.

Read the detailed description

This is Phase 2b-3 multi-center controlled randomized study to assess the efficacy and safety of MIR 19 ® via 7 days treatment in a dose of 5.55 mg/day of participants with symptomatic mild COVID-19 who did not require hospitalisation.

The MIR 19® is a complex of siRNA, targeting Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and peptide dendrimer (KK-46).

This study involved 2 cohorts who received:

  1. 5.5 mg of the MIR 19 ® per day via inhalation route plus standard therapy which included symptomatic treatment, without any etiotropic drugs.
  2. Standard therapy which included symptomatic treatment as well as etiotropic drugs except MIR 19 ®.

All subjects will undergo scheduled safety and efficacy assessments as outpatients to the end of the follow-up period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing MIR 19 ® and Standard therapy in people with COVID-19, run by National Research Center - Institute of Immunology Federal Medical-Biological Agency of Russia at 1 site in Russia.

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 6 inclusion and 20 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 Dec 2023. 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 Russia. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Moderate or severe COVID-19 (time frame: 28th day of observation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Dec 2023.
