About this study

Official title: Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Multicenter, Seamless Adaptive Phase II-III Clinical Trial to Select the Dose and Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of MAD0004J08 Monoclonal Antibody in Adult Patients With Recently Diagnosed Asymptomatic to Moderately Severe COVID-19

MAD0004J08, the experimental drug, is a potent neutralizing IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. MAD0004J08 blocks viral attachment and entry into human cells and neutralizes the virus. Because of its high affinity and potency, MAD0004J08 may accelerate clearance of the virus and prevent clinical deterioration of COVID-19 patients, especially when administered shortly after infection, and prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection in uninfected subjects. Because of its high potency, MAD0004J08 is expected to be effective at low doses (mg range) and thus will be administered by intramuscular (IM) injection, as opposed to the intravenous bolus required by high dose mAbs.

The goals of this Phase II-III seamless adaptive clinical trial are:

Stage-1 (Phase II)

  1. Select one dose level for progression to Stage-2 Stage-1 + Stage-2 (Phase III)
  2. Provide confirmatory evidence of safety and efficacy for regulatory approval.
Read the detailed description

This clinical trial is designed as a randomized, stratified, placebo-controlled doubleblind, multicenter, seamless adaptive study. The target study population is adult patients ≥ 18 years of age with recently diagnosed (≤ 3 days from 1st positive swab taken) asymptomatic to moderately severe COVID-19 at baseline. Patients with comorbidities will be allowed in the study assuming all inclusion and exclusion criteria are met. Participants will not require hospitalization at baseline.

The trial is designed in two stages:

  • Stage I: participants will be randomized (1:1:1 ratio) to one of the one of the following three study cohorts:
  • MAD0004J08 400 mg, single dose
  • MAD0004J08 100 mg, single dose
  • Placebo, single dose The collected data will be analysed following a pre-planned interim analysis plan. Based on the results of this analysis the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will recommend whether the study should advance to Stage-2, and if so, will recommend selection of one of the two MAD0004J08 treatments for Stage-2. Alternatively, the DMC will recommend stopping the study. Final decisions will be made by an unblinded sub-group of the Steering Committee (SC), including senior Sponsor representatives, based on summary results.
  • Stage-2: participants will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to one of two treatments:
  • MAD0004J08, dose level selected in Stage-1, single dose
  • Placebo, single dose Twelve (12) study visits and 2 telephone calls are scheduled for each participant over approximately 168 days. Additional ad-hoc visit(s) may be necessary to confirm eradication of SARS-CoV-2 from the upper respiratory tract (URT) following the 1st negative swab.

At Visit 1 (baseline) all participants will undergo testing for serum IgA and IgG vs. the spike (S) protein, and IgG vs. nucleocapsid (N) protein: participants testing negative to all three antibodies at baseline are referred to as seronegative; participants testing positive to any of the three antibodies at baseline are referred to as seropositive. Due to the need to minimize time between diagnosis and intervention, screening procedures, baseline procedures, randomization and administration of study treatment will occur on day 1.

Visits from Day 3 to Day 21 (Visits 2 to 9) will be conducted by study staff at the participant's home, unless the participant is hospitalized. Visits from Day 28 to Day 168 (Visits 10 to 12) will be conducted at the study center. Participants requiring hospitalization during the study period are to be hospitalized at the study center where Visit 1 was conducted.

At each scheduled visit nasopharyngeal swabs will be carried out. Additional swabs may be taken ad hoc to confirm eradication after the 1st negative swab.

Safety and efficacy endpoints will be analyzed as appropriate in two target populations (all randomized participants (ALL) and seronegative randomized participants (SEROneg) and three time-windows ( baseline (Visit 1) to end of Stage-1 or dropout (interim analysis), baseline (Visit 1) to end of Stage-2 or dropout (primary analysis) and baseline (Visit 1) to end of study (Visit 12) or dropout (final analysis).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing MAD0004J08 in people with Covid19, run by Toscana Life Sciences Sviluppo s.r.l. at 14 sites in Italy.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Italy. 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 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?

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?

Severe (Grade 3) unsolicited AEs and/or serious unsolicited AEs (SAEs). (time frame: From admission to discharge - Assessed as day 0). 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 NCT04952805, 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 3 Feb 2022.
