About this study

Official title: COVID-19 Outpatient Thrombosis Prevention Trial A Multi-center Adaptive Randomized Placebo-controlled Platform Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Anti-thrombotic Strategies in COVID Adults Not Requiring Hospitalization at Time of Diagnosis

A multi-center adaptive randomized placebo-controlled platform trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of anti-thrombotic strategies in COVID-19 adults not requiring hospitalization at time of diagnosis

Read the detailed description

The COVID-19 Outpatient Thrombosis Prevention Trial is a multi-center adaptive randomized double-blind placebo-controlled platform trial to compare the effectiveness of anti-coagulation with anti-platelet agents and with placebo to prevent thrombotic events in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who have evidence of increased inflammation based on elevated D-dimer and hsCRP levels, yet are not admitted to hospital as COVID-19 related symptoms are currently stable. Participants will all be adults between 40 and 79 years who will be enrolled from approximately 100 facilities, such as emergency rooms and other settings where a physician is present to evaluate the patient for inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Conditions

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Apixaban 2.5 MGDrug

    Subjects will be contacted either electronically or by telephone within 24 hours of randomization to confirm receipt of the study treatment. Study drug will be shipped to subjects home. Subjects will take Apixaban 2.5 MG twice a day; once in the morning and once in the evening for 45 days. Subjects will be contacted (electronic or telephone) minimally weekly after initial start of study medication and contact will continue up to day 75 after starting study treatment. Follow up electronic contact will be dependent on initial patient response, compliance with response, and medication adherence, for the trial duration using electronic contacts and through telephone contacts. Participants will be queried for any clinically relevant endpoints, especially major bleeding, or need to seek healthcare attention for any reason. Follow-up will occur from the time of study drug receipt and through the 30 day safety period.

  • Apixaban 5MGDrug

    Subjects will be contacted either electronically or by telephone within 24 hours of randomization to confirm receipt of the study treatment. Study drug will be shipped to subjects home. Subjects will take Apixaban 5 MG twice a day; once in the morning and once in the evening for 45 days. Subjects will be contacted (electronic or telephone) minimally weekly after initial start of study medication and contact will continue up to day 75 after starting study treatment. Follow up electronic contact will be dependent on initial patient response, compliance with response, and medication adherence, for the trial duration using electronic contacts and through telephone contacts. Participants will be queried for any clinically relevant endpoints, especially major bleeding, or need to seek healthcare attention for any reason. Follow-up will occur from the time of study drug receipt and through the 30 day safety period.

  • AspirinDrug

    Subjects will be contacted either electronically or by telephone within 24 hours of randomization to confirm receipt of the study treatment. Study drug will be shipped to subjects home. Subjects will take Aspirin twice a day; once in the morning and once in the evening for 45 days. Subjects will be contacted (electronic or telephone) minimally weekly after initial start of study medication and contact will continue up to day 75 after starting study treatment. Follow up electronic contact will be dependent on initial patient response, compliance with response, and medication adherence, for the trial duration using electronic contacts and through telephone contacts. Participants will be queried for any clinically relevant endpoints, especially major bleeding, or need to seek healthcare attention for any reason. Follow-up will occur from the time of study drug receipt and through the 30 day safety period.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Subjects will be contacted either electronically or by telephone within 24 hours of randomization to confirm receipt of the study treatment. Study placebo will be shipped to subjects home. Subjects will take placebo twice a day; once in the morning and once in the evening for 45 days. Subjects will be contacted (electronic or telephone) minimally weekly after initial start of study medication and contact will continue up to day 75 after starting study treatment. Follow up electronic contact will be dependent on initial patient response, compliance with response, and medication adherence, for the trial duration using electronic contacts and through telephone contacts. Participants will be queried for any clinically relevant endpoints, especially major bleeding, or need to seek healthcare attention for any reason. Follow-up will occur from the time of study drug receipt and through the 30 day safety period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hospitalization for Cardiovascular/Pulmonary Events

    The primary outcome will be a composite endpoint of need for hospitalization for cardiovascular/pulmonary events, symptomatic deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, arterial thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and all-cause mortality for up to 45 days after initiation of assigned treatment.

    Measured: 45 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Apixaban 2.5 MG, Apixaban 5MG and Aspirin in people with COVID-19, run by Frank C Sciurba at 71 sites 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 17 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 71 sites 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Feb 2022). 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?

Hospitalization for Cardiovascular/Pulmonary Events (time frame: 45 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04498273, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 17 Feb 2022.
