Pivotal Trial

Summary

This trial will enroll immunocompromised patients with Lower Tract parainfluenza infection to study the safety and efficacy of an investigational vaccine. A sub-study will also enroll patients with severe COVID-19.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for immunocompromised patients, including those who've had stem cell transplants or chemotherapy. It's open to adults and children with certain immune deficiencies and severe COVID-19 needing oxygen but not intensive ventilation. Participants must agree to contraception if applicable.
What is being tested?
The study tests DAS181, a drug for lower respiratory infections in the immunocompromised, against a placebo. A sub-study focuses on severe COVID-19 cases. The goal is to see if DAS181 can help these patients by comparing outcomes between the drug and placebo groups.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of DAS181 may include reactions at the infusion site, possible allergic responses, changes in liver function tests, and other non-specified drug-related effects as it targets respiratory infections.
