Detailed Description
This Phase 2 study was a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel group design.
The target population treated were patients with moderate to severe COVID-19, active SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by positive standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test (or equivalent/ other approved diagnostic test) within 4 days prior to starting study treatment, and were hospitalized with respiratory distress but not yet requiring high-level respiratory support (as defined in exclusion criterion #2). See inclusion/exclusion criteria.
For each participant, the study was comprised of three parts:
- Screening/ Baseline visit (Day -1 to 1): Lasting up to 24-48 hours and comprised screening/ baseline assessments. This visit was to confirm that study inclusion and exclusion criteria were met by participants prior to randomization.
- Treatment period (Day 1-3 or Day 1-5): Randomized subjects received blinded study treatment once daily for 3 or 5 days by IV infusion, in addition to Standard of Care (SoC).
- Follow-up period (Day 4 or 6 through Day 60): Subjects were assessed daily while hospitalized. Discharged patients were asked to attend study visits at Days 15 and 29. A follow-up visit at Day 60(±10), by telephone call, was performed to confirm patient status.
All participants had a series of efficacy and safety assessments performed, including laboratory assays. Additional blood samples and nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs were also obtained (oropharyngeal (OP) swabs were to be collected only in exceptional circumstances).
Study participants/subjects were randomized to active or placebo, and the study started with 3 days of study drug administration. After an interim analysis safety review, by an independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC), dosing was extended to 5 days. Hence, subjects recruited after the interim analysis received 5 days of study treatment.
For study analyses, subjects randomized to placebo were pooled since duration of placebo should not impact efficacy or safety outcomes. As the different treatment durations for Brilacidin have potential to impact efficacy and/or safety outcomes, 3-dose and 5-dose active arms were analyzed separately.

Time Frame: Day 1 through Day 29
|
Time (in days) from randomization to achieve a NEWS2 score lower or equal to 2 being maintained for at least one 24-hour period. NEWS2 was assessed twice daily while hospitalized; if one of the components of the NEWS2 was missing at a particular time point, the NEWS2 was not calculated. The National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) assesses a participant's degree of illness as assessed by clinical risk prediction categories based on a set of 7 clinical parameters: respiration rate, oxygen saturation, supplemental oxygen, systolic blood pressure, pulse rate, level of consciousness, and temperature. A score of 0 to 3 was allocated to each parameter except supplemental oxygen use (score of 0 [no] or 2 [yes]) and level of consciousness (score of 0 [alert, normal health condition] or 3 [altered mental state/confusion, worst health condition]). All parameter scores were summed to get an aggregate NEWS2. NEWS2 ranges from 0 to 20, with higher scores meaning more severity/higher clinical risk |

Percentage of Participants Achieving a National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) of <= 2 Maintained for 24 Hours
Time Frame: Day 5, Day 8, Day 11, Day 15
|
The National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) assesses a participant's degree of illness as assessed by clinical risk prediction categories based on a set of seven (7) clinical parameters: respiration rate, oxygen saturation, supplemental oxygen, systolic blood pressure, pulse rate, level of consciousness, and temperature.
A score of 0 to 3 was allocated to each parameter except supplemental oxygen use (score of 0 [no] or 2 [yes]) and level of consciousness (score of 0 [alert, normal health condition] or 3 [altered mental state/confusion, worst health condition]).
All parameter scores were summed to get an aggregate NEWS2 assessment.
Scoring for NEWS2 ranges from 0 to 20, with higher scores meaning more severity/higher clinical risk: low risk (score 1 to 4); low to medium risk (score of 3 in any individual parameter); medium risk (score 5 to 6); high risk (score 7 to 20).
