About this study

Official title: A Phase III Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center Study in Adults to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of AZD7442, a Combination Product of Two Monoclonal Antibodies (AZD8895 and AZD1061), for Pre-exposure Prophylaxis of COVID-19.

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of a single dose of AZD7442(× 2 IM injections) compared to placebo for the prevention of COVID-19.

Read the detailed description

SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that, as of 29 September 2020, has resulted in a high death toll to date. Unlike the majority of coronaviruses that cause mild disease in humans and animals, SARS-CoV-2 can replicate in the lower respiratory tract to cause acute respiratory distress syndrome and fatal pneumonia. Effective interventions to prevent or treat COVID-19 remain limited in number and clinical experience is limited. Clinical management is limited to supportive care, consequently overwhelming resources of healthcare systems around the world. As a response to the ongoing pandemic, AstraZeneca is developing mAbs to the SARS-CoV-2 S protein. The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein contains the virus's RBD, which enables the virus to bind to receptors on human cells. By targeting this region of the virus's spike protein, antibodies can block the virus's attachment to human cells, and, therefore, is expected to block infection. Amino acid substitutions have been introduced into the antibodies to both extend their half-lives, which should prolong their potential prophylactic benefit, and decrease Fc effector function in order to decrease the potential risk of antibody-dependent enhancement of disease. AZD7442, a combination of 2 of these mAbs (AZD8895 and AZD1061), is being evaluated for administration to prevent and/or treat COVID-19. There is currently one completed and 2 ongoing Phase I studies with AZD7442.

-The Provent repeat dose open-label sub-study is initiated to assess the safety, PK and immunogenicity of repeat doses of AZD7442 in participants currently enrolled in the Provent study who may benefit from repeat dose of AZD7442.

    To estimate the efficacy of a single IM dose of AZD7442 compared to placebo for the prevention of COVID-19 prior to Day 183. Planned to be evaluated through Day 183, however, the number of events required for the primary endpoint was achieved 165 days after the study start date which is displayed in the primary efficacy row below. Final analysis is final data from the study based on the pre-planned 183 days of follow up for this endpoint.

    Measured: 165 Days for primary analysis, 183 days for final analysis

    To estimate the efficacy of a single IM dose of AZD7442 compared to placebo for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection

    Measured: 366 days

  2. The Incidence of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR-positive Severe or Critical Symptomatic Illness Occurring After Dosing With IMP

    To estimate the efficacy of a single IM dose of AZD7442 compared to placebo for the prevention of severe or critical symptomatic COVID-19

    Measured: 366 Days

  3. The Incidence of COVID-19-related Emergency Department Visits Occurring After Dosing With IMP

    To estimate the efficacy of a single IM dose of AZD7442 compared to placebo for the prevention of COVID-19-related Emergency Department visits

    Measured: 366 days

  4. Serum AZD7442 Concentrations, PK Parameters if Data Permit.

    To assess the pharmacokinetics of AZD7442 administered as a single dose of 300 mg IM

    Measured: 457 days

  5. Incidence of ADA to AZD7442 in Serum

    To evaluate ADA responses to AZD7442 in serum

    Measured: 457 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing AZD7442 in people with COVID-19, run by AstraZeneca at 89 sites in 5 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 12 inclusion and 17 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 31 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 89 sites in United States, France, United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain. 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 20 Dec 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?

Number of Participants With First Case of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR-positive Symptomatic Illness (time frame: 165 Days for primary analysis, 183 days for final analysis). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04625725, which also lists 23 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 31 Dec 2024.
