A Study of the C3 Inhibitor AMY-101 in Patients With ARDS Due to COVID-19 (SAVE)

Phase 2
Conditions
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Due to SARS-CoV-2 Infection (Severe COVID19)
Interventions
Other: WFI 5% glucose
Registration Number
NCT04395456
Lead Sponsor
Amyndas Pharmaceuticals S.A.
Brief Summary

The study is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind phase 2 clinical study of the efficacy and safety of AMY-101, a potent C3 inhibitor, for the management of patients with ARDS caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.

We will assess the efficacy and safety, as well as pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD). The study will assess the impact of AMY-101 in patients with severe COVID19; specifically, it will assess the impact of AMY-101 1) on survival without ARDS and without oxygen requirement at day 21 and 2) on the clinical status of the patients at day 21.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Diagnosed with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome due to SARS-CoV-2 infection (severe Covid-19), according to the following criteria:

    1. Demonstration of SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia in nasopharyngeal swap or bronchio-alveolar lavage (BAL)

    2. A ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) to the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), PaO2/FIO2, ≤300 mmHg

      • Mild ARDS (PaO2/FIO2, ≤300 and >200 mm Hg);
      • Moderate ARDS (PaO2/FIO2, ≤200 and >100 mm Hg);
      • Severe ARDS (PaO2/FIO2, ≤100 mm Hg);
    3. Pulmonary infiltrates suggestive of SARS-COV-2-related ARDS: e.g., bilateral infiltrates at chest X-ray or B-lines at lung US scan.

  • Dated and signed informed consent from patient or legal represantative.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Intubated patients
  • Demonstrated or suspected uncontrolled systemic severe infection, such as sepsis (e.g.: positive blood culture, or procalcitonin ≥0.25 µg/L)
  • Demonstrated local extrapulmonary abscess
  • ARDS due to cardiac failure or fluid overload
  • Concomitant treatment with immunomodulatory /immunosuppressive drugs , which have potential activity against the disease

  • Neisseria meningitidis infection that is not resolved
  • Current treatment with a complement inhibitor
  • Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) within 3 weeks prior to Screening
  • Participation in another interventional treatment study within 30 days before initiation of the study treatment (Day 1 in this study) or within 5 half-lives of that investigational product, whichever is greater.
  • Chemotherapy for less than 3months
  • Pregnancy
  • Age <18.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The proportion of patients who are alive, without evidence of ARDS (i.e. PaO2/FIO2 >300 mm Hg), who do not require any oxygen support (in room air).21 days
The proportion of patients assigned to each category, of a six-category ordinal scale.21 days

The clinical status is based on the following six-category ordinal scale:

* 1: not hospitalised;

* 2: hospitalised, not requiring supplemental oxygen;

* 3: hospitalised, requiring supplemental oxygen;

* 4: hospitalised, requiring nasal high-flow oxygen therapy, non-invasive mechanical ventilation, or both;

* 5: hospitalised, requiring ECMO, invasive mechanical ventilation, or both; and

* 6: death.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in levels of AMY-101 plasma levelOn days 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 14, 15, 21
Proportion of respiratory failure-free survivalDay 44

With respiratory failure defined as any of the following:

1. Worsening of severe gas transfer deficit, accounting for a shift in ARDS disease category (PaO2/FiO2 ≤200 for patients with PaO2/FiO2 \>200 at baseline; PaO2/FiO2 ≤100 for patients with PaO2/FiO2 \>100 at baseline),

2. Persistent respiratory distress while receiving oxygen (persistent marked dyspnea,use of accessory respiratory muscles, paradoxical respiratory movements),

3. Transfer to the intensive care unit for intubation,

4. Death.
