This randomized, Phase I/II feasibility study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the RD-X19 device in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals with uncomplicated COVID-19.
This is a randomized, sham-controlled dose escalation and bioeffect study. The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the safety of the RD-X19 device in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals with outpatient COVID-19 and to assess the reduction of SARS-CoV-2 viral load in each dose group compared to sham controls. The primary safety measure is absence of device-related serious adverse events or patterns of severity ≥2 device-related adverse events. Safety and tolerability (local reactogenicity) will be assessed actively on each clinic visit by review of potential adverse events (AEs) and targeted physical examination, as required. Metabolic, liver, kidney and hematological laboratory evaluations will be performed at baseline and at Day 8 or early termination (and potentially during unscheduled) clinic visits. Methemoglobin assessments will be performed at baseline and Day 8. Various efficacy assessments will explore the impact of RD-X19 treatment on the reduction in log10 SARS-CoV-2 viral load and alleviation of symptoms associated with COVID-19. Both the magnitude of reduction as a function of dose as well as time to clearance will be assessed.

Primary Safety Measure
Number of Participants with device-related serious adverse events or any patterns of severity ≥2 device-related adverse events in the same SOC grouping of Preferred Terms based on Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) coding, as determined throughout the course of the study.
Time frame: Baseline thru Day 8
Primary Efficacy Measure
Time weighted average change in viral load from baseline by RT-qPCR from Day 1 to Day 8.
Time frame: Baseline to Day 8
Proportion of Subjects Demonstrating Clearance of Viral Infection
Proportion of subjects demonstrating clearance of viral infection, defined as a negative test via RT-qPCR on Day 8/ET.
Time frame: Days 1, 3, 5 and 8
Median Time to Alleviation of Symptoms
Median time to alleviation of symptoms as measured by the time when all eight symptoms (cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, headache, chills/sweats, muscle or joint pain, fatigue, and nausea) had been assessed by the subject as none (0) or mild (1).
Time frame: Daily through day 8
