There is one clinical trial.
Opaganib, a sphingosine kinase-2 (SphK2) inhibitor, has been broadly tested in Phase I/II studies. Extensive nonclinical data indicates both anti-viral and anti-inflammatory activity via selective SphK2 inhibition which may prove beneficial for treating COVID-19 infection and resulting pneumonia. This proof of concept study will take place in the US and will enroll about 40 hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection who have developed pneumonia and require supplemental oxygen. Half of the patients, i.e. 20 patients, will receive opaganib in addition to standard of care for 14 days. The other 20 will receive matching placebo (capsules that do not contain the medication) in addition to standard of care. Study drug will be administered every day for 14 days, twice each day, unless the patient has been discharged from the hospital without requiring supplemental oxygen, in which case study drug will only be administered for 10 days. All participants will be followed up for 4 weeks after their last dose of study drug.
Description: Measurement of the oxygen requirement
Measure: Evaluation of the total oxygen requirement (area under the curve) using daily supplemental oxygen flow (L/min) over 14 days Time: Every day from day 1 to day 14 of treatmentDescription: Measurement of the oxygen requirement
Measure: Evaluation of the time to 50% reduction from baseline in supplemental oxygen based on oxygen flow in L/min Time: Every day from day 1 to day 14 of treatmentDescription: Measurement of temperature
Measure: Evaluation of the proportion of afebrile patients at Day 14 Time: From screening phase and every day from day 1 to day 14 of treatmentDescription: Nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2
Measure: Evaluation of the time to negative swabs for SARS-CoV-2 by PCR Time: From screening phase and every day from day 1 to day 14 of treatment and at the end of the 4 weeks follow-up after the end of treatmentDescription: Nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2
Measure: Evaluation of the proportion of patients with negative swabs for SARS-CoV-2 by PCR at Day 14 Time: From screening phase and every day from day 1 to day 14 of treatment and at the end of the 4 weeks follow-up after the end of treatmentDescription: Evaluation the proportion of patients, with at least one measurement of fever at baseline (defined as temperature >38.0 C[100.4 F]), who are afebrile (defined as temperature <37.2C [99 F]) at Day 14
Measure: Evaluation the proportion of patients, with at least one measurement of fever at baseline who are afebrile at Day 14 Time: From screening phase and every day from day 1 to day 14 of treatment
