Phase III Study of AZD7442 for Treatment of COVID-19 in Outpatient Adults (TACKLE)

June 30, 2023 updated by: AstraZeneca

A Phase III Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of AZD7442 for the Treatment of COVID-19 in Non-hospitalized Adults

This Phase III study will assess whether AZD7442 (a combination of 2 mAbs) can safely treat outpatient adults with COVID-19 and prevent either severe COVID-19 or death.

Detailed Description

A novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, first emerged in China in November 2019 causing cases of atypical pneumonia. As of 6 October 2020, the virus has spread to all corners of the globe, with over 35 million confirmed cases reported and more than one million associated deaths according to the WHO. The COVID-19 pandemic is causing major disruption to global healthcare systems with significant socioeconomic impacts. Effective interventions to prevent or treat COVID-19 remain few in number and clinical experience is limited.

There is an urgent need to rapidly evaluate treatments in the non-hospitalized setting to prevent progression and reduce serious complications of COVID-19, as well as its transmission.

As a response to the ongoing pandemic, AstraZeneca is developing mAbs to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein contains the virus's RBD, which enables the virus to bind to receptors on human cells. By targeting this region of the virus's spike protein, antibodies can block the virus's attachment to human cells, and, therefore, is expected to block infection. Amino acid substitutions have been introduced into the antibodies to both extend their half-lives, which should prolong their potential prophylactic benefit, and decrease Fc effector function in order to decrease the potential risk of antibody-dependent enhancement of disease.

AZD7442, a combination of 2 of these mAbs (AZD8895 and AZD1061), is being evaluated for administration to treat or prevent COVID-19. There are currently one ongoing Phase I study and two ongoing Phase III studies with AZD7442, in addition to this treatment study.

Enrollment of up to approximately 1700 participants is planned.

  2. WHO Clinical Progression Scale score > 1 and < 4.
  3. Participant must be dosed with IMP no more than 7 days from self-reported onset of COVID-19-related symptoms (mild to moderate COVID-19) or measured fever, defined as the self-reported date of first reported sign/symptom.

  5. Oxygenation saturation of ≥ 92% obtained at rest by study staff within 24 hours prior to Day 1 (unless participant regularly receives chronic supplementary oxygen for an underlying lung condition).
  6. Participant agrees not to participate in another clinical trial for the treatment of COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 during the study period until reaching hospitalization or 28 days after entry into the study (whichever is earliest).
  7. Participant must be ≥ 18 years of age, provide informed consent and is able to comply with study requirements/procedures.
  8. Male participants: Contraception for male participants is not required; however, to avoid the transfer of any fluids, all male participants must use a condom from Day 1 and agree to continue through 90 days following administration of IMP.
  9. Women of childbearing potential must use one highly effective form of birth control.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History or current hospitalization for COVID-19.
  2. Current need for hospitalization/immediate medical attention in a clinic/emergency room service
  3. Previous hypersensitivity, infusion related reaction, or adverse reaction to any monoclonal antibodies or known allergy to components of the IMP or placebo.
  4. Receipt of any investigational or licensed vaccine for prevention of COVID-19 at any time prior to entry into this study or expected administration immediately after enrollment.
  5. Current requirement or anticipated impending need for mechanical ventilation.
  6. Any significant disease, disorder or finding that may increase risk to the participant that might affect his/her ability to participate in this study.
  7. Received convalescent COVID-19 plasma treatment any time prior to entry into this study.
  8. Receipt of systemic steroids (e.g., prednisone, dexamethasone) or inhaled steroids within 30 days prior to study entry, unless a stable dose is used for a chronic condition.
  9. Receipt of any IMP in the previous 90 days or 5 half lives (whichever is longer), or expected receipt of IMP during the study follow-up period, or concurrent participation in another interventional study.
  10. Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
