Phase 2a MIB-626 vs. Placebo COVID-19
Purpose
The proposed phase 2a trial will determine whether MIB-626 treatment in adults with COVID-19 infection and stage 1 acute kidney injury is more efficacious than placebo in preventing worsening of kidney function, as assessed by longitudinal changes in serum creatinine concentration, and in attenuating the inflammatory response to the infection.

Exclusion Criteria
- In the intensive care unit at the time of screening or prior to randomization - Requiring mechanical ventilation at the time of screening or prior to randomization - Has baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 ml/min/1.73m2 - Has a history of kidney transplantation or hemodialysis treatment or receiving or expected to receive hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis at screening and prior to randomization - Is on mechanical ventilation - Has a contraindication for MIB-626 or its inert ingredients - Has a diagnosis of lupus nephritis, polycystic kidney disease, other glomerular disease (other than diabetes) - Has AST or ALT > 3 times the upper limit of normal - Has other medical condition which, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the study subject or impact the validity of the study results - Will exclude patients, who are receiving or are enrolled in placebo-controlled intervention trials of anti-inflammatory or immunomodulatory agents, such as tocilizumab. Occasional use of acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, for fever or headache is permitted.

- Intervention Model Description
- This will be a two center, randomized, double-blind, placebo- controlled, parallel group, efficacy trial to determine the efficacy of MIB-626 treatment relative to placebo in adult patients with COVID-19 infection and stage 1 acute kidney injury. Participants will be screened for eligibility and those meeting eligibility criteria will be offered participation in the study. The subjects will be randomized by minimization to receive MIB-626 or placebo twice daily for up to 14 days. The participants will be followed for 28 days after the administration of the last dose of the investigational product. Kidney function will be ascertained by daily measurements of serum creatinine, which is the standard of care in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

Experimental MIB-626 |
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. |

|
Placebo Comparator Placebo Tablet |
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. |
|
|
Other Home Treatment |
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. |

Detailed Description
This is a two-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, phase 2a study that will determine the efficacy and safety of MIB-626 treatment relative to placebo in adult patients with COVID-19 infection and stage 1 acute kidney injury. Hospitalized adult patients with a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19 infection will be screened for conformity to inclusion and exclusion criteria and those meeting eligibility criteria on screening will be offered participation in the study. Fifty participants, who meet all the eligibility criteria, and are able and willing to provide informed consent, will be randomized, stratified by sex, remdesivir use, and trial site, in a 3:2 ratio to receive either MIB-626 1.0 g orally or matching placebo twice daily for 14 days. The 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.
