Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The rationale of the present clinical trial is that an orally available drug given to outpatients that could reduce the viral burden in the upper respiratory tract could forestall complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection and reduce transmission from one infected individual to another.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Camostat Mesilate
  • Other: Placebo
Phase 2

Detailed Description

The study is designed as a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial to test the hypothesis that camostat mesylate, a serine protease inhibitor shown to inhibit SARS-COV-2 replication in vitro, inhibits SARS-COV-2 replication in early stage, laboratory-confirmed, COVID-19 ambulatory patients.

Camostat mesylate, a serine protease inhibitor used primarily for treating postoperative reflux esophagitis and for acute exacerbations of chronic pancreatitis. This drug, with more than 15 years clinical experience in Japan with a very safe clinical track record, will be studied as a repurposed drug based on published in vitro virus inhibition data and in vivo protective effects in a mouse model of SARS.

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether camostat mesylate reduces SARS-COV-2 viral load in early COVID-19 disease.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in SARS-COV-2 Viral Load [5 days (day 0 to day 4)]

      To determine whether camostat mesylate reduces SARS-COV-2 viral load (N Gene) in early COVID-19 disease, change from day 0 to day 4 in respiratory (oropharyngeal swab RT-PCR) log10 viral load will be assessed.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in SARS-COV-2 Viral Load [3 days (day 0 to day 2)]

      To determine whether camostat mesylate reduces SARS-COV-2 viral load (N Gene) in early COVID-19 disease, change from day 0 to day 2 in respiratory (oropharyngeal swab RT-PCR) log10 viral load will be assessed.

    2. Change in SARS-COV-2 Viral Load [7 days (day 0 to day 6)]

      To determine whether camostat mesylate reduces SARS-COV-2 viral load (N Gene) in early COVID-19 disease, change from day 0 to day 6 in respiratory (oropharyngeal swab RT-PCR) log10 viral load will be assessed.

    3. Number of Participants With Change in Positive COVID-19 Status [7 days]

      Change in risk for a positive COVID-19 test at day 6 after enrollment (day 0) will be assessed by analyzing the proportion of positive cases in each study arm.

    4. Number of Participants With Change in Positive COVID-19 Status [14 days]

      Change in risk for a positive COVID-19 test at day 13 after enrollment (day 0) will be assessed by analyzing the proportion of positive cases in each study arm.

    5. Change in Positive COVID-19 Status [28 days]

      Number of Participants With Change in Positive COVID-19 Status

    6. Change in COVID-19 Symptom Severity [Day 0 to Day 6]

      Change of COVID-19 symptom severity from day 0 to day 6 will be assessed with the COVID-19 daily self score tool. Adapted from the FLU-PRO instrument, it consists of 39 items that are answered daily. Items 1-33 are Likert scale questions (rated 0-4) where 0 = not at all and 4 = very much. These items are summed to score the severity of symptoms- where a total score of 132 would indicate the greatest severity of symptoms and a score of 0 would indicate no severity of symptoms. Items 34-38 are also Likert scale questions (rated 0-4) that measure the frequency of specific daily symptoms where 0 = 0 times and 4 = 4 times or more. These items are summed to score the frequency of symptoms- where the highest score for the frequency of symptoms (20) indicates the greatest burden of symptom frequency. The last question (39) asks patients for their highest temperature in Fahrenheit.

    7. Change in COVID-19 Symptom Severity [Day 0 to Day 13]

      Change of COVID-19 symptom severity from day 0 to day 14 will be assessed with the COVID-19 daily self score tool. Adapted from the FLU-PRO instrument, it consists of 39 items that are answered daily. Items 1-33 are Likert scale questions (rated 0-4) where 0 = not at all and 4 = very much. These items are summed to score the severity of symptoms- where a total score of 132 would indicate the greatest severity of symptoms and a score of 0 would indicate no severity of symptoms. Items 34-38 are also Likert scale questions (rated 0-4) that measure the frequency of specific daily symptoms where 0 = 0 times and 4 = 4 times or more. These items are summed to score the frequency of symptoms- where the highest score for the frequency of symptoms (20) indicates the greatest burden of symptom frequency. The last question (39) asks patients for their highest temperature in Fahrenheit.

    8. Change in COVID-19 Symptom Frequency [Day 0 to Day 6]

      Change of COVID-19 symptom frequency score from day 0 to day 6 will be assessed with the COVID-19 daily self score tool. Adapted from the FLU-PRO instrument, it consists of 39 items that are answered daily. Items 34-38 measure the frequency of specific daily symptoms and are also Likert scale questions (rated 0-4) that measure the frequency of specific daily symptoms where 0 = 0 times and 4 = 4 times or more. These items are summed to score the frequency of symptoms- where the highest score (20) indicates the greatest burden of symptom frequency, the lowest possible score (0) indicates no frequency of symptoms.

    9. Change in COVID-19 Symptom Frequency [Day 0 to Day 13]

      Change of COVID-19 symptom frequency score from day 0 to day 6 will be assessed with the COVID-19 daily self score tool. Adapted from the FLU-PRO instrument, it consists of 39 items that are answered daily. Items 34-38 measure the frequency of specific daily symptoms and are also Likert scale questions (rated 0-4) that measure the frequency of specific daily symptoms where 0 = 0 times and 4 = 4 times or more. These items are summed to score the frequency of symptoms- where the highest score (20) indicates the greatest burden of symptom frequency, the lowest possible score (0) indicates no frequency of symptoms.

    10. Change in Body Temperature [7 days (Day 0 to Day 6)]

      Change of COVID-19 symptom score from baseline to day 6 will be assessed with the COVID-19 daily self score tool. Adapted from the FLU-PRO instrument, it consists of 39 items that are answered daily. Items 1-33 are Likert scale questions (rated 0-4) where 0 = not at all and 4 = very much. These items are summed to score the severity of symptoms- where a total score of 132 would indicate the greatest severity of symptoms and a score of 0 would indicate no severity of symptoms.

The last question (39) asks patients for their highest temperature in Fahrenheit.

    11. Change in Body Temperature [28 days]

      Change of COVID-19 symptom score from baseline to 28 days will be assessed with the COVID-19 daily self score tool. Adapted from the FLU-PRO instrument, it consists of 39 items that are answered daily. Items 1-33 are Likert scale questions (rated 0-4) where 0 = not at all and 4 = very much. These items are summed to score the severity of symptoms- where a total score of 132 would indicate the greatest severity of symptoms and a score of 0 would indicate no severity of symptoms.

    Exclusion Criteria:
    • Presence of COVID-19 disease manifestations that would require referral for consideration of hospitalization.

    • A previous positive COVID-19 test reported more than 7 days before, which would indicate likelihood of non-culturable, nonreplicating virus.

    • A positive COVID-19 test without a known recent exposure that would indicate an active infection, hence an unknown chance of non-culturable, non-replicating virus being present (i.e., asymptomatic COVID-19 infection of unknown duration).

    • Pregnancy or lactation.

    • Known allergic reactions to components of camostat mesylate.

    • With regard to inclusion or exclusion of women of child-bearing potential, women who report that they know they are pregnant are excluded. All women of child-bearing potential who test positive for pregnancy by urine test at first visit are excluded. A day 14 followup blood pregnancy test will be done on appropriate enrolled women (i.e. those who had a negative urine pregnancy test on day 0 for further safety assessment ).

    7. Secondary Outcome
    Title Change in COVID-19 Symptom Severity
    Description Change of COVID-19 symptom severity from day 0 to day 6 will be assessed with the COVID-19 daily self score tool. Adapted from the FLU-PRO instrument, it consists of 39 items that are answered daily. Items 1-33 are Likert scale questions (rated 0-4) where 0 = not at all and 4 = very much. These items are summed to score the severity of symptoms- where a total score of 132 would indicate the greatest severity of symptoms and a score of 0 would indicate no severity of symptoms. Items 34-38 are also Likert scale questions (rated 0-4) that measure the frequency of specific daily symptoms where 0 = 0 times and 4 = 4 times or more. These items are summed to score the frequency of symptoms- where the highest score for the frequency of symptoms (20) indicates the greatest burden of symptom frequency. The last question (39) asks patients for their highest temperature in Fahrenheit.
