A Phase 2 Study of BIO 300 Oral Suspension in Discharged COVID-19 Patients

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BIO 300 Oral Suspension to improve lung function in patients that were previously hospitalized with COVID-19 related pulmonary complications.

What Does the Study Involve?

Participants will self-administer the study treatment (BIO 300 or placebo) orally once per day for 12 weeks. During the treatment period, participants will attend a combination of in-person (weeks 4, 8 and 12) and telehealth (weeks 1, 2, 6, and 10) visits to monitor their lung function and overall health. Participants will attend two additional in-person follow-up visits at 6 and 12 months from the start of the treatment period. 

Participants will monitor their lung function while at home using a spirometer and pulse oximeter that will be provided. Participants will complete additional lung function tests, routine blood work and a total of four chest CT scans during in-person visits to the clinic.

Who Can Participate?

To be eligible, candidates must:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Have been hospitalized due to COVID-19 related complications and are ready to be discharged, or were discharged within the past 365 days
