About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase II Exploratory Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Human COVID-19 Immunoglobulin (pH4) for Intravenous Injection (COVID-HIG) in the Treatment of Patients With COVID-19

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II exploratory clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Human COVID-19 immunoglobulin (pH4) for intravenous injection (COVID-HIG) in the treatment of patients with COVID-19.

Read the detailed description

Eligible adault patients with confirmed COVID-19 will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive intravenous injections of High-dose COVID-HIG, Low-dose COVID-HIG or Placebo ( 0.9% sodium chloride injection). Patients in each arm will receive continued standard of care (SOC) therapy. The primary efficacy end point is the median time to clinical improvement (defined as clinical improvement of at least 2 points from baseline on the 7-point ordinal scale) observed from 0 to 28 days after the first administration.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Human COVID-19 immunoglobulin (pH4) for intravenous injectionBiological

    Also called COVID-HIG

    The initial infusion rate is 0.01 ~ 0.02 ml/kg body weight/minute (1ml is about 20 drops). If there was no adverse reaction after 15 minutes, the infusion rate could be gradually accelerated. However, it should not exceed 0.08 ml/kg body weight/minute.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Also called 0.9% sodium chloride injection

    The initial infusion rate is 0.01 ~ 0.02 ml/kg body weight/minute (1ml is about 20 drops). If there was no adverse reaction after 15 minutes, the infusion rate could be gradually accelerated. However, it should not exceed 0.08 ml/kg body weight/minute

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Human COVID-19 immunoglobulin (pH4) for intravenous injection in people with COVID-19, run by Sinopharm Wuhan Plasma-derived Biotherapies Co., Ltd. at 1 site in United Arab Emirates.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jan 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 United Arab Emirates. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Contact YunKai Yang, Prof (+86-13601126881, yangyunkai@sinopharm.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to clinical improvement (time frame: within 28 days). 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 3 Jan 2022.
