5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Determine the efficacy and safety of COVID19-0001-USR in the treatment of SARS-COV-2 infection in mild to moderate manifestations administered via nebulization/inhalation.
Detailed Description
This is an interventional, randomized controlled, double-blind study (i.e., active and passive control), 1 intervention group will be randomized with COVID 19-001-USR, and a control group to receive a placebo intervention to assess efficacy, tolerance, and decrease viral load and clinical manifestation on patients infected with SARS-COV-2. This will be a self-administered study drug 3 times a day for 7 days

Parallel Assignment
Model Description
Interventional study, randomized controlled, double-blind (i.e., active and passive control), 1 intervention group with investigative medicine, and a control group that will receive placebo intervention.
Masking
ParticipantCare ProviderInvestigator
Masking Description
The mapping sequence will be hidden from the researcher by enrolling and evaluating participants in sequentially numbered, sealed, and stapled envelopes. To avoid the subversion of the allocation sequence, the name and date of birth of the participant will be written in the envelope, a second researcher verifies the process. The corresponding envelopes will be opened only after the enrolled participants complete all the reference assessments and assignment of the intervention by the protocol
