Trial summary

Cardiometabolic disease may confer increased risk of adverse outcomes in COVID-19 patients by activation of the aldose reductase pathway, a trigger of the inflammatory cascade. The study team hypothesizes that aldose reductase inhibition with AT-001 (caficrestat) might represent a novel therapeutic approach to reduce… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Single-center Registry and Embedded Interventional Study of the Effects of COVID-19 With and Without Treatment With AT-001 on Cardiac Structure and Function in Patients Hospitalized for Management of COVID-19 Infection

Cardiometabolic disease may confer increased risk of adverse outcomes in COVID-19 patients by activation of the aldose reductase pathway, a trigger of the inflammatory cascade. The study team hypothesizes that aldose reductase inhibition with AT-001 (caficrestat) might represent a novel therapeutic approach to reduce inflammation and risk of adverse outcomes in diabetic patients with COVID-19.

An open-label pilot study to assess safety, tolerability and efficacy of AT-001 in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with history of diabetes mellitus and heart disease will be conducted. Eligible participants will be treated with AT-001 1500 mg twice daily for up to 14 days. Safety, tolerability, survival and length of hospital stay data were compared with matched controls from a contemporaneous registry of COVID-19 patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AT-001Drug

    Investigational novel Aldose Reductase Inhibitor (ARI) Product: AT-001 500mg capsule for oral administration Dosage: 1,500mg (3X500mg capsules) twice daily Mode of Administration: Oral Up to 14 days per discretion of the investigators and treatment team

Interventional Patients: AT-001ExperimentalAT-001 1500 mg (3 capsules) were administered by mouth twice daily for up to 14 days
Receives: Drug: AT-001
Control Match Group 1No interventionMatched control from a contemporaneous de-identified registry of hospitalized patients with clinical COVID-19 diagnosis at the same institution was selected. The first matching approach selected all subjects with diabetes mellitus and hypertension, and available data to match participants who received AT-001 for gender, age group (in bins of 5 years), weight, and C-reactive protein (CRP) value at the time of hospital admission.
Control Match Group 2No interventionMatched control from a contemporaneous de-identified registry of hospitalized patients with clinical COVID-19 diagnosis at the same institution was selected. The second matching approach selected all subjects in the registry with diabetes mellitus and available data to match participants who received AT-001 for gender, age group (in bings of 5 years), and weight (+/- 0.5 kgs).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AT-001 in people with COVID-19, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Sep 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hospital Length of Stay (LOS) (time frame: Day 45). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Sep 2021.
