Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: MIB-626Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Oral administration of MIB-626 substantially raises the intracellular NAD+ levels and activates signaling mechanisms that regulate inflammation and cell survival, downregulates the NLRP3 inflammasome, and attenuates the inflammatory response in a number of experimental models, and protects against tissue damage induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Group II: Home TreatmentExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants, who are discharged from the hospital before the completion of the 14-day intervention period, will be provided sufficient study medication to take home with them so they can continue to take the medication twice daily for the remaining duration of the 14-day intervention period.
Group III: Placebo TabletPlacebo Group1 Intervention
A placebo control will be supplied. Participants randomized to placebo will receive matching tablet. Matching placebo tablets will be provided by the study's Sponsor, Metro International Biotech, LLC.
