Overview
Brief Summary
This is an international, multicenter, parallel-group, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, study in hospitalized adult patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, India, Canada, and United Kingdom. The study is evaluating the effect of dapagliflozin 10 milligrams versus placebo, given once daily for 30 days in addition to background local standard of care therapy, on reducing complications and all-cause mortality, or improving clinical recovery.
Detailed Description
COVID-19 can lead to multiorgan failure, especially in high-risk patients. Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), favorably impacts many processes dysregulated during acute illness such as COVID-19, has significant cardio- and reno-protective benefits in cardiometabolic disease, and may provide similar organ protection in COVID-19. The study population will include hospitalized patients with respiratory manifestations of COVID-19 of any duration, but without the need for mechanical ventilation. The eligible patients should have risk factors for developing serious complications of COVID-19, including hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure and/or chronic kidney disease stage 3 to 4. Patients will be treated for 30 days, with either dapagliflozin 10 milligrams daily or placebo, each to be given in addition to the usual standard of care in the participating hospital. The study assessments include only those that are absolutely critical for ensuring the safety of the patients, to measure efficacy outcomes, and collect biomarker data, so as not to place too high a burden on the study personnel and to minimize additional risk of exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2). The dual primary efficacy endpoints of the study are time to first event of either complications or death from any cause, and improved clinical recovery through 30 days of follow-up. An extended follow-up period of 60 days (after the 30-day treatment period) is included, in order to examine longer-term trajectory of recovery from COVID-19 among trial participants. The safety data will be monitored by an Independent Data and Safety Monitoring Committee.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Improving Clinical Recovery: Hierarchical Composite Outcome Measure Including Death From Any Cause Through Day 30, New/Worsened Organ Dysfunction, Clinical Status at Day 30 and Hospital Discharge Before Day 30 and Alive at Day 30.
Time Frame: Randomization through Day 30
The number of patients experiencing improvement by day 30 compared with baseline (discharged from hospital without a worsening event and alive, or still in hospital without a worsening event and without oxygen support) in the hierarchical composite endpoint analysis. Hierarchical composite outcome measure includes: * Death from any cause through Day 30 * New/worsened organ dysfunction * Clinical status at Day 30 for patients still hospitalized and without any worsening organ dysfunction * Hospital discharge before Day 30 and alive at Day 30
Prevention of COVID-19 Complications or Death: During the 30-day Treatment Period, Time to First Occurrence of New/Worsened Organ Dysfunction During Index Hospitalization or Death From Any Cause.
Time Frame: Randomization through Day 30
Time to first occurrence of new/worsened organ dysfunction during index hospitalization or death from any cause. Event rates are presented as the number of subjects with event per 100 patient month (30 days) of follow-up. Unit of Measure: Patients with events per 100 patient-months (pt-mos) at risk. New/worsened organ dysfunction is defined as at least one of the following: * Respiratory decompensation requiring initiation of mechanical ventilation (includes invasive or non-invasive ventilation, CPAP, or BiPAP), and/or initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) * New or worsening congestive heart failure * Requirement for vasopressor therapy and/or inotropic or mechanical circulatory support * Ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation lasting at least 30 seconds and/or associated with hemodynamic instability or pulseless electrical activity, or resuscitated cardiac arrest * Doubling of s-Creatinine or initiation of renal replacement therapy
Secondary Outcomes
- Total Number of Days Alive and Free From Respiratory Decompensation Requiring Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation (Includes Invasive or Non-invasive Ventilation, CPAP, or BiPAP)(Randomization through Day 30)
- Time to Hospital Discharge(Randomization through Day 30)
- Time to Composite of Acute Kidney Injury or Initiation of Renal Replacement Therapy, or Death From Any Cause(Randomization through Day 30)
- Total Number of Days Alive, Not in the ICU, and Free From Respiratory Decompensation Requiring Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation (Includes Invasive or Non-invasive Ventilation, CPAP, or BiPAP)(Randomization through Day 30)
- Time to Death From Any Cause(Randomization through Day 30)
