What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence rate, characteristics, and severity of adverse reactions

    To evaluate the safety of GX-I7 in patients with COVID-19 (rating according to NCI CTCAE v5.0)

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

  2. Shift from baseline of vital sign

    The number of patients in vital sign shifted from normal or abnormal (NCS) to abnormal (CS)

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

  3. Shift from baseline of physical examination

    The number of patients in physical examination shifted from normal or abnormal (NCS) to abnormal (CS)

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

  4. Shift from baseline of hematology

    The number of patients in hematology shifted from normal or abnormal (NCS) to abnormal (CS)

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

  5. Shift from baseline of blood chemistry

    The number of patients in blood chemistry shifted from normal or abnormal (NCS) to abnormal (CS)

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

  6. Dose limiting toxicity (DLT)

    The incident rate of DLT

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC)

    The change of absolute lymphocyte count from baseline

    Measured: up to 3 weeks

  2. RT-PCR for COVID-19

    To evaluate the efficacy of GX-I7 in patients with COVID-19

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

  3. Assessment of clinical improvement by modified early warning score (MEWS)

    Changes of modified early warning score (MEWS) from the baseline after the IP administration [Low-risk (score 0) ~ high-risk (score 3)]

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

  4. Ordinal scale for clinical improvement (WHO) in each visit

    Changes of ordinal scale for clinical improvement (WHO) from the baseline after the IP administration [Uninfected 0 ~ Dead 8]

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

  5. The proportion of subjects who have progressed to death or a critical illness

    To evaluate the efficacy of GX-I7 in patients with COVID-19

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

  6. Immune repertoire

    Changes in the rate of different immune cell types and regulatory T cell in the blood after the IP administration

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GX-I7 in people with Covid19, run by Genexine, Inc. at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 30 Nov 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 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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: Sponsor's decision). 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?

Incidence rate, characteristics, and severity of adverse reactions (time frame: up to 52 weeks). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 Nov 2022.
