ACTIV-5 / Big Effect Trial (BET-A) for the Treatment of COVID-19

A Multicenter Platform Trial of Putative Therapeutics for the Treatment of COVID-19 in Hospitalized Adults

This is a platform trial to conduct a series of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials using common assessments and endpoints in hospitalized adults diagnosed with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Big Effect Trial (BET) is a proof-of-concept study with the intent of identifying promising treatments to enter a more definitive study. The study will be conducted in up to 70 domestic sites and 5 international sites. The study will compare different investigational therapeutic agents to a common control arm and determine which have relatively large effects. In order to maintain the double blind, each intervention will have a matched placebo. However, the control arm will be shared between interventions and may include participants receiving the matched placebo for a different intervention.

The goal is not to determine clear statistical significance for an intervention, but rather to determine which products have clinical data suggestive of efficacy and should be moved quickly into larger studies. Estimates produced from BET will provide an improved basis for designing the larger trial, in terms of sample size and endpoint selection. Products with little indication of efficacy will be dropped on the basis of interim evaluations. In addition, some interventions may be discontinued on the basis of interim futility or efficacy analyses.

One or more interventions may be started at any time. The number of interventions enrolling are programmatic decisions and will be based on the number of sites and the pace of enrollment. At the time of enrollment, subjects will be randomized to receive any one of the active arms they are eligible for or placebo. Approximately 200 (100 treatment and 100 shared placebo) subjects will be assigned to each arm entering the platform and a given site will generally have no more than 3 interventions at once.

The BET-A stage will evaluate the combination of remdesivir with risankizumab vs remdesivir with a risankizumab placebo. The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of different investigational therapeutics relative to the control arm in adults hospitalized with COVID-19 according to clinical status (8-point ordinal scale) at Day 8.

Detailed Description

This is a platform trial to conduct a series of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials using common assessments and endpoints in hospitalized adults diagnosed with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Big Effect Trial (BET) is a proof-of-concept study with the intent of identifying promising treatments to enter a more definitive study. The study will be conducted in up to 70 domestic sites and 5 international sites. The study will compare different investigational therapeutic agents to a common control arm and determine which have relatively large effects. In order to maintain the double blind, each intervention will have a matched placebo. However, the control arm will be shared between interventions and may include participants receiving the matched placebo for a different intervention.

The goal is not to determine clear statistical significance for an intervention, but rather to determine which products have clinical data suggestive of efficacy and should be moved quickly into larger studies. Estimates produced from BET will provide an improved basis for designing the larger trial, in terms of sample size and endpoint selection. Products with little indication of efficacy will be dropped on the basis of interim evaluations. In addition, some interventions may be discontinued on the basis of interim futility or efficacy analyses.

One or more interventions may be started at any time. The number of interventions enrolling are programmatic decisions and will be based on the number of sites and the pace of enrollment. At the time of enrollment, subjects will be randomized to receive any one of the active arms they are eligible for or placebo. Approximately 200 (100 treatment and 100 shared placebo) subjects will be assigned to each arm entering the platform and a given site will generally have no more than 3 interventions at once.

The BET-A stage will evaluate the combination of remdesivir with risankizumab vs remdesivir with a risankizumab placebo. Subjects will be assessed daily while hospitalized. Once subjects are discharged from the hospital, they will have a study visit at Days 8, 15, 22, 29, and 60 as an outpatient. The Day 8, Day 22 and Day 60 visits do not have laboratory tests or collection of samples and may be conducted by phone. All subjects will undergo a series of efficacy and safety laboratory assessments. Safety laboratory tests and blood (serum and plasma) research samples and oropharyngeal (OP) swabs will be obtained on Day 1 (prior to study product administration) and Days 3, 5, 8, and 11 while hospitalized. OP swabs (oropharyngeal swabs are preferred, but if these are not obtainable, saliva or nasopharyngeal or nasal swabs may be substituted) and blood research samples plus safety laboratory tests will be collected on Day 15 and 29 if the subject attends an in-person visit or is still hospitalized. However, if infection control considerations or other restrictions prevent the subject from returning to the clinic, Day 15 and 29 visits may be conducted by phone and only clinical data will be obtained.

The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of different investigational therapeutics relative to the control arm in adults hospitalized with COVID-19 according to clinical status (8-point ordinal scale) at Day 8. The key secondary objectives are 1) to evaluate the clinical efficacy of different investigational therapeutics as assessed by time to recovery compared to the control arm, and 2) to evaluate the proportion of subjects alive and without respiratory failure through Day 29.

Day 1 through Day 29
Days of New Non-invasive Ventilation/High Flow Oxygen Use
Time Frame: Day 1 through Day 29
Duration of new non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen use was measured in days among participants not on non-invasive ventilation/high flow oxygen at baseline who progressed to non-invasive ventilation/high flow oxygen, invasive ventilation/ECMO or died.
Day 1 through Day 29
Number of Participants With New Invasive Mechanical Ventilation / Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Use
Time Frame: Day 1 through Day 29
New Invasive Mechanical Ventilation / Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Use is defined as participants not on invasive ventilation/ECMO at baseline who progressed to invasive ventilation/ECMO or died during the study.
Day 1 through Day 29
Number of Participants With New Non-invasive Ventilation/High Flow Oxygen Use
Time Frame: Day 1 through Day 29
New Non-invasive Ventilation/High Flow Oxygen Use is defined as participants in the hospitalized requiring new or increased supplemental oxygen ordinal scale or below at baseline who progressed to non-invasive ventilation/high flow oxygen, invasive ventilation/ECMO or died during the study.
Day 1 through Day 29
Mean Change in Ordinal Scale
Time Frame: Day 1, 3, 5, 11, 15, 22, 29
The ordinal scale categories are defined as: 1) Not hospitalized, no new or increased limitations on activities;2) Not hospitalized, but new or increased limitation on activities and/or requiring new or increased home oxygen, CPAP, or BiPAP; 3) Hospitalized, not requiring new or increased supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care; 4)Hospitalized, not requiring new or increased supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19 related or otherwise); 5) Hospitalized, requiring new or increased supplemental oxygen; 6) Hospitalized, requiring new or increased non-invasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen devices; 7) Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); 8) Death. A positive change indicates a worsening and a negative change is an improvement.
Day 1, 3, 5, 11, 15, 22, 29
Proportion of Participants Not Meeting Criteria for One of Two Ordinal Scale Categories at Day 29
Time Frame: Day 29
Ordinal scale categories include 8) Death and 7) Hospitalized, on Invasive Mechanical Ventilation or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO). Defined as the proportion of participants who were alive and were not hospitalized on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO at the Day 29 visit.
Day 29
59-day Participant Mortality
Time Frame: Day 1 through Day 60
The mortality rate was determined as the proportion of participants who died by study Day 60. The proportions reported are Kaplan-Meier estimates.
Day 1 through Day 60
Days of Supplemental Oxygen Use
Time Frame: Day 1 through Day 29
Duration of supplemental oxygen use was measured in days among participants who required any supplemental oxygen, non-invasive ventilation/high flow oxygen, invasive ventilation/ECMO or died.
Day 1 through Day 29
Time to an Improvement of One Category From Baseline Using an Ordinal Scale
Time Frame: Day 1 through Day 60
The ordinal scale is an assessment of the clinical status at the first assessment of a given study day. The scale is as follows: 1) Not hospitalized, no new or increased limitations on activities; 2) Not hospitalized, but new or increased limitation on activities and/or requiring new or increased home oxygen, CPAP, or BiPAP; 3) Hospitalized, not requiring new or increased supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care; 4) Hospitalized, not requiring new or increased supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19 related or otherwise); 5) Hospitalized, requiring new or increased supplemental oxygen; 6) Hospitalized, requiring new or increased non-invasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen devices; 7) Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); 8) Death.
