Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
41

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

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Hospitalized patient with clinically diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection per World Health Organization criteria including positive nucleic acid test of any specimen (e.g., respiratory, blood, or other bodily fluid) within 2 weeks prior to screening.{Other confirmatory test results will be accepted upon approval from Sponsor/CRO Medical Monitor prior to enrolment}.
  2. Symptoms suggestive of moderate systemic illness with COVID-19, which could include any of the following symptoms: fever, cough, sore throat, malaise, headache, muscle pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, or shortness of breath at rest, or respiratory distress.
  3. Clinical signs indicative of moderate systemic COVID-19 illness (with high risk of developing severe ARDS/septic shock) with an aggregate of NEWS-2 score of 4-6 or 3 in one single parameter.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be disqualified from entering the study:

  1. Patients who require endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation, oxygen delivered by high-flow nasal cannula (heated, humidified, oxygen delivered via reinforced nasal cannula at flow rates >20 L/min with fraction of delivered oxygen ≥ 0.5), non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, ECMO, or clinical diagnosis of respiratory failure.
  2. Presence of any of the following abnormal laboratory values at screening: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), platelets <50,000/µL.
  3. Treatment with anti-IL 6, anti-IL-6R antagonists, or with Janus kinase inhibitors in the past 30 days or plans to receive during the study period.
  4. Current treatment with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs)/immunosuppressive agents.
  5. Use of chronic oral corticosteroids for a non-COVID-19-related condition in a dose higher than prednisone 10 mg or equivalent per day.
  6. History of, or current autoimmune or inflammatory systemic or localized disease(s) other than rheumatoid arthritis.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Time Frame: 60 Days
Routine safety monitoring during the study period
60 Days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change of National Early Warning Score 2 units from baseline
Time Frame: 60 Days
Measurement of 7 clinical parameters (respiration rate, oxygen saturation, any supplemental oxygen, temperature, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, level of consciousness) to assess overall clinical condition.
60 Days
Change in WHO-9 point ordinal scale
Time Frame: 60 Days
Assessment of WHO-9 point ordinal scale for clinical improvement (i.e., 0 = uninfected and 8 = death) category ordinal scale of clinical status from admission.
