A study to test trimodulin in adult hospitalized patients with CAP including COVID-19 pneumonia.
EU CTIS ID: 2024-513002-60-00
What this study is testing
To assess the efficacy and safety of trimodulin as adjunctive treatment to standard of care (SoC) compared to placebo plus SoC in adult hospitalized subjects with non-severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) or moderate / severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia
- Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III)

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Written informed consent obtained from the subject or legally acceptable/authorized representative (LAR)* in compliance with all local legal requirements . *Informed consent process by LAR is not applicable in Lithuania
- Hospitalized, adult (≥ 18 years of age) subject (any gender).
- Diagnosis of CAP (e.g., according to ATS/IDSA guideline) or COVID-19 pneumonia (e.g., according to local guidelines) before or within 48 hours after hospital admission, and with radiologic evidence (available from routine SoC done before or after hospital admission) showing new pulmonary lobar or multilobar infiltrates consistent with CAP or COVID-19 pneumonia.
- Receiving oxygen supply via low-flow oxygen (LFO, by mask or nasal prongs with > 2 L/min) or on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or high-flow oxygen (HFO) at start of treatment with investigational medicinal product (IMP).
- Fulfilling at least one of the following clinical respiratory parameters within 24 hours prior to start of treatment with IMP: • SpO2 ≤ 94% (on room air, and without preceding chronic lung disease); • 100 mm Hg < PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 300 mm Hg under HFO or NIV.
- Treatment with IMP has to be started within 7 days after first hospital-admission for CAP or COVID-19 pneumonia.
You likely can't join if
- Pregnant or lactating women.
- Subject on dialysis or with severe renal impairment, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m² assessed within 24 hours prior to start of treatment.
- Subject with end stage renal disease (ESRD), or primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
- Pre-existing severe lung diseases concomitant to current pneumonia (e.g., COPD (GOLD stage III-IV / Group D), severe interstitial lung disease [including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis], cystic fibrosis, active tuberculosis, chronically infected bronchiectasis, aspiration pneumonia or active lung cancer).
- Pre-existing decompensated heart failure (New York Heart Association class III–IV).
- Pre-existing hepatic cirrhosis, severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh score ≥ 9 points), or hepatocellular carcinoma.
