Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • ≥ 18 years old, males and females
  • Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with International Council on Harmonisation - Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) and local legislation prior to admission to the trial
  • Asymptomatic for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) at time of screening and at randomization
  • Household contact with exposure to an individual with a diagnosis of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (i.e. exposure to the index case)
  • Randomization within 96 hours of collection of the index cases' positive SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic test sample (nucleic acid or antigen-based) from any respiratory tract specimen (e.g. oropharyngeal, nasopharyngeal (NP), or nasal swab, or saliva); based on test sample collection date, not the result date.
  • From screening and randomization, the trial participant anticipates living in the same household with the index case until protocol Day 29.
  • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP)* and men able to father a child must be ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control per International Council on Harmonisation (ICH) M3 (R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly.
  • A woman is considered of childbearing potential (WOCBP), i.e. fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilisation methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. Tubal ligation is NOT a method of permanent sterilisation. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 24 months without an alternative medical cause.

About this study

Official title: A Phase III Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group, Group-sequential Study to Evaluate Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of BI 767551 for Post-exposure Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Household Contacts to a Confirmed SARS-CoV-2 Infected Individual

This study is open to adults living with a person who has tested positive for the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. People who do not have symptoms of COVID-19 can take part in this study. The study is done to find out whether a medicine called BI 767551 can prevent COVID-19. BI 767551 is an antibody against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.

Participants are put into 3 groups randomly, which means by chance.

Read more
  • 1 group gets BI 767551 via an inhaler and placebo as an infusion
  • 1 group gets BI 767551 as an infusion and placebo via an inhaler
  • 1 group gets placebo both via an inhaler and as an infusion

All participants get study medicine once at study start and after 1 week. Placebo inhaler and infusion look like BI 767551 inhaler and infusion but do not contain any medicine.

Participants are in the study for about 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 10 times. About 7 of the 10 visits can be done at the participant's home. Participants are regularly tested for the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The doctors check whether the participants have been infected with the coronavirus and whether they have symptoms. The results are compared between the treatment groups. The doctors check the health of the participants and note any health problems that could have been caused by BI 767551.

Individual data sharing
No: Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents, except for the following exclusions: 1. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; 2. studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; 3. studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases (because of limitations with anonymization).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing BI 767551 intravenous and BI 767551 inhalation in people with COVID-19, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

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 8 inclusion and 20 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 combined 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.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

The primary endpoint of this study is symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection (RT-qPCR confirmed based on NP swabs, with a score >= 2 on the WHO Clinical Progression Scale) (Cohort A only) (time frame: up to 31 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 NCT04894474, which also lists 2 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 8 Nov 2021.
