About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Platform Trial of Putative Therapeutics for the Treatment of COVID-19 in Hospitalized Adults

This is a platform trial to conduct a series of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials using common assessments and endpoints in hospitalized adults diagnosed with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Big Effect Trial (BET) is a proof-of-concept study with the intent of identifying promising treatments to enter a more definitive study. The study will be conducted in up to 70 domestic sites and 5 international sites. The study will compare different investigational therapeutic agents to a common control arm and determine which have relatively large effects. In order to maintain the double blind, each intervention will have a matched placebo. However, the control arm will be shared between interventions and may include participants receiving the matched placebo for a different intervention.

The goal is not to determine clear statistical significance for an intervention, but rather to determine which products have clinical data suggestive of efficacy and should be moved quickly into larger studies. Estimates produced from BET will provide an improved basis for designing the larger trial, in terms of sample size and endpoint selection. Products with little indication of efficacy will be dropped on the basis of interim evaluations. In addition, some interventions may be discontinued on the basis of interim futility or efficacy analyses.

Read more

One or more interventions may be started at any time. The number of interventions enrolling are programmatic decisions and will be based on the number of sites and the pace of enrollment. At the time of enrollment, subjects will be randomized to receive any one of the active arms they are eligible for or placebo. Approximately 200 (100 treatment and 100 shared placebo) subjects will be assigned to each arm entering the platform and a given site will generally have no more than 3 interventions at once.

The BET-B stage will evaluate the combination of remdesivir with lenzilumab vs remdesivir with a lenzilumab placebo. The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of different investigational therapeutics relative to the control arm in adults hospitalized with COVID-19 according to clinical status (8-point ordinal scale) at Day 8.

One or more interventions may be started at any time. The number of interventions enrolling are programmatic decisions and will be based on the number of sites and the pace of enrollment. At the time of enrollment, subjects will be randomized to receive any one of the active arms they are eligible for or placebo. Approximately 200 (100 treatment and 100 shared placebo) subjects will be assigned to each arm entering the platform and a given site will generally have no more than 3 interventions at once.

The BET-B stage will evaluate the combination of remdesivir with lenzilumab vs remdesivir with a lenzilumab placebo. Subjects will be assessed daily while hospitalized. Once subjects are discharged from the hospital, they will have a study visit at Days 8, 15, 22, 29, and 60 as an outpatient. The Day 8, Day 22 and Day 60 visits do not have laboratory tests or collection of samples and may be conducted by phone. All subjects will undergo a series of efficacy and safety laboratory assessments. Safety laboratory tests and blood (serum and plasma) research samples and oropharyngeal (OP) swabs will be obtained on Day 1 (prior to study product administration) and Days 3, 5, 8, and 11 while hospitalized. OP swabs (oropharyngeal swabs are preferred, but if these are not obtainable, saliva or nasopharyngeal or nasal swabs may be substituted) and blood research samples plus safety laboratory tests will be collected on Day 15 and 29 if the subject attends an in-person visit or is still hospitalized. However, if infection control considerations or other restrictions prevent the subject from returning to the clinic, Day 15 and 29 visits may be conducted by phone and only clinical data will be obtained.

The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of different investigational therapeutics relative to the control arm in adults hospitalized with COVID-19 according to clinical status (8-point ordinal scale) at Day 8. The key secondary objectives are to 1) evaluate the clinical efficacy of different investigational therapeutics as assessed by time to recovery compared to the control arm, and 2) to evaluate the proportion of subjects alive and without respiratory failure through Day 29.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of Participants Alive and Without Mechanical Ventilation Through Day 29 in Participants With Baseline Ordinal Score of 5 or 6, C-reactive Protein (CRP)<150mg/L and Age <85 Years

    Ordinal scale categories include 7) Hospitalized, on Invasive Mechanical Ventilation or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) and 8) Death. Mechanical ventilation-free survival was assessed through Day 29, defined as the proportion of participants who had not died nor were hospitalized on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO from Day 1 through Day 29. Estimates for the proportions are estimated from a logistic regression model adjusted for baseline dexamethasone, baseline ordinal score, age (continuous), and baseline CRP.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 29

Secondary outcomes (40)
  1. Proportion of Participants Alive and Without Mechanical Ventilation Through Day 29 in Participants With Any Baseline Ordinal Score

    Mechanical ventilation-free survival was assessed through Day 29, defined as the proportion of participants who had not died nor were hospitalized on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO from Day 1 through Day 29. Estimates for the proportions are estimated from a logistic regression model adjusted for baseline dexamethasone, baseline ordinal score, age (continuous), and baseline CRP.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 60

  3. Time to Sustained Recovery in Participants With Any Baseline Ordinal Score

    Day of sustained recovery is defined as the first day on which the participant satisfies 1 of the following 3 categories from the clinical status ordinal scale (and does not return to a score of = 4 up to and including Study Day 60): 1) Not hospitalized, no new or increased limitations on activities; 2) Not hospitalized, but new or increased limitation on activities and/or requiring new or increased home oxygen, CPAP, or BiPAP; 3) Hospitalized, not requiring new or increased supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 60

  4. Number of Participants Meeting Criteria for Each of the 8 Ordinal Scale Categories on Day 8

    The ordinal scale categories are defined as: 1) Not hospitalized, no new or increased limitations on activities; 2) Not hospitalized, but new or increased limitation on activities and/or requiring new or increased home oxygen, CPAP, or BiPAP; 3) Hospitalized, not requiring new or increased supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care; 4) Hospitalized, not requiring new or increased supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19 related or otherwise); 5) Hospitalized, requiring new or increased supplemental oxygen; 6) Hospitalized, requiring new or increased non-invasive ventilation or highflow oxygen devices; 7) Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); 8) Death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lenzilumab and Remdesivir in people with COVID-19, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 55 sites in 2 countries.

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 21 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 5 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 55 sites in United States, South Korea. 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 5 Jun 2023). 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?

Proportion of Participants Alive and Without Mechanical Ventilation Through Day 29 in Participants With Baseline Ordinal Score of 5 or 6, C-reactive Protein (CRP)<150mg/L and Age <85 Years (time frame: Day 1 through Day 29). 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 NCT04583969, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Jun 2023.
