About this study

Official title: Phase 3 Multi-Site, Randomised, Placebo Controlled, Double Blind, Single Dose Study of TY027 for Early Treatment of COVID-19

The emergence \& rapid spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) since December 2019 across 188 countries globally has become a major public health crisis. COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation on 11 March 2020. To date, tens of millions of cases have been reported and over 3% of these cases have died. COVID-19 is an acute respiratory disease caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus from the Betacoronavirus genus, just like SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. SARS-CoV-2 is primarily transmitted person-to-person through respiratory droplets/close contact. Fomite transmission has also been shown as a transmission route. Common respiratory symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough \& shortness of breath, may appear 2 - 14 days after exposure. About 20% of infected cases progress to severe disease resulting in an estimated 2 - 5% mortality rate. With the unrelenting increase in cases being reported worldwide, there is thus an urgent need for therapeutics to be developed to treat disease \& reduce further transmission in order to disrupt the ongoing pandemic.

To date, there are no specific proven antiviral treatment to prevent disease progression from mild to severe respiratory dysfunction among COVID-19 patients. Supportive care is recommended for symptom relief \& for severe cases. Numerous vaccine candidates against SARS-CoV-2 are under development. Tychan's TY027, a fully engineered human IgG, is one of the first few biologics in the world, specifically targeting SARS-CoV-2, to enter human clinical trials. Preliminary data from our phase 1 healthy volunteer trial (SCT-001; ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT04429529) reveals that TY027 is safe \& well-tolerated up to 20 mg/kg tested. A total of 10 adverse events (AEs) were observed, all were of mild in intensity with none resulting in subject withdrawal from the study. There were no serious adverse events \& no clinically relevant trends in mean clinical laboratory, physical examinations, vital signs or ECG results were observed. Pharmacokinetic profile of subjects across dose cohorts 1 - 4, up to Day 14, were comparable to those typical of human IgG1 antibody with serum concentrations declining in a biphasic manner. Exposure of TY027, based on Cmax, increased in a linear \& generally dose proportional manner. It is anticipated that TY027, when administered to acutely infected COVID-19 patients, could reduce disease severity. It may potentially also be used as a prophylaxis against COVID-19 amongst high risk contacts.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 3 Multi-Site, Randomised, Placebo Controlled, Double Blind, Single Dose Study of TY027 for Early Treatment of COVID-19.

Efficacy and safety of single dose IV infusion of TY027 in COVID-19 patients will be assessed.

A total of 1,305 COVID-19 patients will be enrolled. The first 15 patients will be randomised 1:1:1 to receive either (i) a single fixed dose of 1,500 mg TY027, (ii) a single fixed dose of 2,000 mg TY027 or (iii) Placebo (N = 5 per group) for initial safety assessment. This safety assessment will comprise the safety review of clinical signs, adverse events (AEs) and laboratory test results up to Day 3 post-dose.

Subsequent patients will be randomised 1:1 to receive either a single fixed dose of 2,000 mg TY027 (2,000 mg TY027 group) or Placebo (Placebo group) (N = 645 per group).

All patients will be inpatient for up to 7 days post-dosing and followed up on Days 14 and 28.

If a patient becomes clinically well enough for discharge before Day 7, at the discretion of attending physician, collection of subsequent events/parameters such as abbreviated physical examinations, vital signs, clinical laboratory assessments, pharmacodynamic assessment, biomarker assessment, disseminated intravascular coagulation assessment scheduled after discharge will no longer be feasbile. Conversely, if a patient was to be hospitalised beyond 7 days for medically indicated reasons, daily monitoring and medical assessment will continue, with any additional ad hoc sampling to be recorded as unscheduled visit(s).

Remote monitoring through a telephone or video call will be performed on days post-discharge as per originally scheduled in schedule of events, as well as on Day 14 while patients are serving their quarantine order or has been discharged home.

All discharged patients are to contact the Principal Investigator or the study team as soon as possible should they experience a worsening of their condition, or if they are admitted to hospital for COVID-19-related symptoms, before their Day 28 visit.

Final safety and efficacy analysis of all patients will be assessed at the end of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing TY027 and 0.9% saline in people with Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19), run by Tychan Pte Ltd. at 1 site in Singapore.

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 11 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 24 Mar 2022. 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 Singapore. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low recruitment rate). 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?

To evaluate the efficacy of a single dose intravenous (IV) infusion of TY027 in reducing disease progression, defined as progression to score 4 and below on COVID scale (time frame: Within the first 14 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 NCT04649515, 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 24 Mar 2022.
