March 31, 2022 updated by: Altimmune, Inc.

Phase 2, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study of NasoVAX in the Prevention of Clinical Worsening in Patients With Early Coronavirus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NasoVAX in preventing worsening of symptoms and hospitalization in patients with early COVID-19.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patient volunteers that have given written informed consent will undergo screening to determine eligibility for study entry. If the patient qualifies for the study, they will be randomized in a double-blind manner in a 1:1 ratio to receive NasoVAX or placebo. On the same day of qualifying into the study, the patient will be administered the investigational drug (either NasoVAX or placebo).

The patient will return home for the remainder of the study. During this period, the patient will be monitored remotely by the study center for clinical status. The patient will also be contacted by study center personnel by telephone to ask about use of any medications and changes in health including information about any hospitalization.

Study Type

Enrollment (Actual)

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

  2. Men and women 18 years of age and older
  3. Early COVID-19, defined as one or more symptom(s) of fever (oral temperature ≥ 100.4 degrees F), cough, or shortness of breath, onset of these symptoms within 72 hours of screening, and confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 infection by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based or rapid antigen diagnostic.
  4. Resting SpO2 ≥ 96.0% on room air on two successive measurements

  5. For women of childbearing potential (women who are not permanently sterile [documented hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, salpingectomy, or oophorectomy] or postmenopausal [12 months with no menses without an alternative medical cause])

    • Negative urine pregnancy test at Screening

  6. For men with sexual partners of childbearing potential, willingness to practice a highly effective method of contraception, as defined above, for 45 days after the last dose of study drug
  7. Ability and willingness to comply with all aspects of the study, including reliable internet access, through the entire study period

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant or lactating women or planning to conceive a child during the next 3 months
  2. Resting respiratory rate >20 breaths/min on room air or resting pulse rate ≥ 125 beats per minute
  3. A rapidly worsening course that in the opinion of the Investigator or treating medical practitioner would lead to hospitalization within the next 24-48 hours
  4. Any chronic pulmonary disease, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma, or other respiratory diseases that could exacerbate independent of COVID-19

  5. The following risk factors for severe COVID-19 (Cohorts 1 and 2 only) (Centers for Disease Control 2020), which based on ongoing review of efficacy and safety data, the DMC may remove part or all of these risk factors if preliminary data show no signal for adverse or paradoxical effects:
