  • This study aimed to assess whether DMX-200, a chemokine receptor antagonist, combined with candesartan, could improve outcomes for hospitalized adults under 65 with moderate to severe COVID-19.
  • Conducted in ten hospitals in India, the trial was double-blind and placebo-controlled but was terminated early due to challenges in recruitment, resulting in only 49 participants.
