It was one among the studies in the overall clinical programme of the antiviral drug Avigan in asymptomatic to severe Covid-19 in both the out-patient and in-patient settings.
The latest development follows data from the Kuwait CVD-04-CD-001 study on moderate to severe Covid-19 hospitalised patients.
The trial failed to demonstrate statistically significant difference for the primary endpoint (time to sustained hypoxia resolution) for Avigan as compared with placebo.
Dr. Reddy’s noted that the full data analysis on 353 participants will be available by the end of next month.
Apart from his cohort, a subgroup analysis was carried out on 181 patients in the low-risk category.
It showed that a three-day earlier for time to hospital discharge was noted in the Avigan group versus eight days in the placebo group, thereby meeting secondary endpoint.
