Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: ANA001Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects in the ANA001 treatment arm will receive 1,000 mg (4 capsules; 250 mg each) by mouth twice per day for 7 consecutive days with a meal. If the participant requires mechanical ventilation over the course of the study, ANA001 may be administered via nasogastric (NG), percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) or orogastric (OG) tube and, if possible, should be administered with a scheduled nasogastric (NG) or orogastric (OG) feeding.
Group II: Matching PlaceboPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Subjects in the comparator arm will receive matching placebo (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC)) (4 capsules, by mouth twice a day) for the 7-day treatment duration.

"There are 8 sites running this study, such as University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia, Therapeutic Concepts, PA in Houston, and University of California, Irvine in Irvine."

Answered by AI

What does the current literature say about Niclosamide's efficacy?

"There are six clinical trials studying Niclosamide with two in Phase 3 currently. Phase 3 trials are the last step before Niclosamide can be approved for medical use. The majority of these trials are based in Palo Alto, California, but Niclosamide studies are being conducted at 50 different research sites."

Answered by AI

What medical goal are we trying to achieve with this experiment?

"This clinical trial's primary goal is to assess the safety and tolerability of ANA001, as measured by the incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Secondary objectives include efficacy, as measured by the median time to hospital discharge, the mean number of days on rescue therapy, and the mean change from baseline in the National Early Warning Score (NEWS 2)."

Answered by AI

Are there any openings in this experimental program for new participants?

"That is accurate. The website clinicaltrials.gov has information indicating that the trial is still seeking participants. The trial was established on October 7th, 2020 and the listing was edited most recently on April 22nd, 2022. The study needs 436 patients from 8 different locations."
