Clinical trials
have commenced and over ten leading government and private hospitals are being enrolled for the study, it added.
Glenmark estimates study completion by July-August 2020, it said.
As per the approved clinical trial protocol,
150 subjects with mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms will be randomised in the study in a 1:1 ratio to Favipiravir with standard supportive care or standalone standard supportive care.
Treatment duration is a maximum of 14 days and the total study duration will be a maximum of 28 days from randomisation.
Several health and medical experts, both in and outside of Glenmark are eager to see the effect that Favipiravir has on COVID-19 cases.
We believe the study results will be significant as there is currently no effective treatment for the virus,” Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Vice President & Head Clinical Development, Global Specialty/Branded Portfolio Monika Tandon said.
The data we get from these trials will point us in a clearer direction with regard to COVID-19 treatment and management, she added.
