About this study

Official title: Multicentre, Open Label, Randomised, Adaptative Clinical Trial of Efficacy and Safety of Treatment Regimens in Adult COVID-19 Patients in Senegal

COVID-19 is an emerging pandemic disease affecting most countries including Senegal, caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) which was first detected in the city of Wuhan in China in December 2019. A rapid spread of the disease has occurred at a global scale, associated with a mortality rate of 3.4%. The first case in Africa was declared on February 15, 2020 in Egypt and the first case in Senegal was declared on March 2nd, 2020.

In this context, the SEN-CoV-Fadj clinical trial aims to evaluate efficacy and safety, among adults, of different therapeutic regimens considered optimal according to current knowledge, as well as available and adapted to Sub-Saharan Africa. This trial is nested into a cohort of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Senegal aiming to understand the main clinical, biological, virologic and immunological characteristics of the infection. The protocol of the cohort is based and adapted from the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC) / World Health Organization (WHO) Clinical Characterisation Protocol (CCP).

The Nafamostat mesilate, whose antiviral, anticoagulant an anti-inflammatory activities have been shown, has been eligible for SEN-CoV-Fadj for the treatment of moderate to severe COVID-19 cases.

COVID-19 is an emerging pandemic disease affecting most countries including Senegal, caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) which was first detected in the city of Wuhan in China in December 2019.

The first case in Africa was declared on February 15, 2020 in Egypt and the first case in Senegal was declared on March 2nd, 2020.

In this context, the SEN-CoV-Fadj clinical trial aims to evaluate efficacy and tolerance, among adults, of different therapeutic options considered optimal according to current knowledge, as well as available and adapted to Sub-Saharan Africa. This trial is nested into a cohort of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Senegal aiming to understand the main clinical, biological, virologic and immunological characteristics of the infection. The protocol of the cohort is based and adapted from the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC) / World Health Organization (WHO) Clinical Characterisation Protocol (CCP).

The Nafamostat mesilate, whose antiviral, anticoagulant an anti-inflammatory activities have been shown, has been eligible for SEN-CoV-Fadj for the treatment of moderate to severe COVID-19 cases. Its efficacy and safety will be evaluated against the standard of care used in Senegal.

The primary objective is to :

Evaluate and compare viral clearance between the different therapeutic interventions.

The secondary objectives are to:

  • Evaluate and compare efficacy of the different therapeutic regimens
  • Evaluate and compare the tolerance of the different therapeutic regimens
  • Evaluate and compare the impact of the different therapeutic interventions on the length of hospitalization and other clinical measurements

What participants receive

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

  • Nafamostat MesilateDrug

    Nafamostat mesilate continuous intravenous injection. Daily dose ranging between 0.1 mg/kg/h and 0.2 mg/kg/h, based on the severity and underlying disease of the clinical trial participant.

    Administration for 10-14 days based on the severity and underlying disease of the clinical trial participant

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. SARS-CoV-2 viral load level

    Real time-PCR (RT-PCR) result of the naso- and oro-pharyngeal sample

    Measured: Day 7

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Vital status

    Measured: Day 15

  2. Proportion of patients with serious adverse events reported during the clinical trial.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 7 months

  3. Length of hospitalization

    Measured: through hospitalization, an average of 2 weeks

  4. Length of hospitalization in a resuscitation unit

    Measured: through hospitalization, an average of 2 weeks

  5. Duration of oxygen therapy

    Measured: through hospitalization, an average of 2 weeks

  6. Maximum quick SOFA (qSOFA) score during hospitalisation

    Measured: through hospitalization, an average of 2 weeks

  7. Clinical status on the seven-category ordinal scale

    1. not hospitalized with resumption of normal activities;
    2. not hospitalized, but unable to resume normal activities;
    3. hospitalization, not requiring supplemental oxygen;
    4. hospitalization, requiring supplemental oxygen;
    5. hospitalization, requiring nasal high-flow oxygen therapy and/or noninvasive mechanical ventilation;
    6. hospitalization, requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and/or invasive mechanical ventilation;
    7. death.

    Measured: through hospitalization, an average of 2 weeks

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted15 May 2020
  2. Study start13 Aug 2020
  3. Primary completion8 Feb 2023
  4. Study completion8 Feb 2023

Why it stopped: In conclusion, the results of the SEN-CoV Fadj trial to date do not meet the objectives of the clinical trial and the sample size required to meet them is clearly too large to be achieved within a reasonable time.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Nafamostat Mesilate in people with COVID-19, run by Institut Pasteur de Dakar at 3 sites in Senegal.

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 23 inclusion and 0 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Senegal. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: In conclusion, the results of the SEN-CoV Fadj trial to date do not meet the objectives of the clinical trial and the sample size required to meet them is clearly too large to be achieved within a reasonable time.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

SARS-CoV-2 viral load level (time frame: Day 7). 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 21 Jun 2024.
