Study Summary

This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dociparstat sodium in adult patients with acute lung injury (ALI) due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study was designed to determine if dociparstat sodium could accelerate recovery and prevent progression to mechanical ventilation in patients severely affected by COVID-19.

Primary Outcome

The primary efficacy endpoint was to be the proportion of participants who were alive and free of invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) through Day 28. Data also shows proportion of participants with invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO, all-cause mortality, or early study discontinuation (\<Day 25), whichever occurred first, by Day 28.
