Efficacy of PJS-539 for Adult Patients With COVID-19.

COVID-19, a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) became a pandemic in March 2020. Clinically, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ranges from asymptomatic disease in some to severe forms. However, until now, only the use of corticosteroids in selected patients has been shown to improve clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19. PJS-539 has been demonstrated to inhibit viral uptake and replication of SARS-CoV-2. The objective of this Phase II trial is to assess the effect of PJS-539 in the viral load of patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms.
