Pivotal Trial
Summary
This trial is testing if a drug called imatinib is safe and effective for treating people hospitalized with COVID-19. The trial is randomized, which means that people are assigned by chance to either receive imatinib or a placebo (a medicine with no active ingredient). Neither the participants nor the researchers will know who is receiving imatinib or the placebo until the trial is over.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for hospitalized adults over 18 with a positive COVID-19 test. They must understand and sign consent, or have a representative do so if they're too unwell. Excluded are pregnant/breastfeeding women, those in other drug trials (except certain emergency use treatments), people allergic to Imatinib, and those with severe heart, liver, kidney or blood disorders.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of Imatinib compared to a placebo in treating COVID-19 in hospitalized adults. It's randomized (participants are randomly assigned) and double-blind (neither participants nor researchers know who gets what treatment).
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, common side effects of Imatinib may include nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps or pain, fatigue, skin rash; there could also be more serious risks like liver problems or severe fluid retention.
