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

Group Intervention Description AMY-101 AMY-101 - Placebo WFI 5% glucose -
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 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
Name Time Method Changes in levels of AMY-101 plasma level On days 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 14, 15, 21 Proportion of respiratory failure-free survival Day 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.Cumulative incidence of freedom from oxygen requirement Through day 44 Proportion of patients developing thrombotic microangiopathies Through day 44 Changes in PaO2 and PaO2/FIO2 Through day 44 Changes in quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score (qSOFA: respiratory rate, systolic blood pressure, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) Through day 44 Changes in maximal and minimal cardiovascular parameters: Respiratory rate Through day 44 Changes in maximal and minimal cardiovascular parameters: Heart Rate Through day 44 Changes in levels of biomarkers of inflammation (CBC, CRP, Ferritin, Procalcitonin, D-dimers, LDH) On days 0, 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 44 Length of stay in ICU Through day 44 Cumulative incidence of discharge from hospital Through day 44 Number of adverse events Through day 44 Changes in levels of anti-drug antibodies On day 0 , 14 and 44 Changes in levels of biomarkers of complement activity: C3, C3a, C5a, sC5b-9 On days 0, 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 44 Proportion of patients surviving Through to day 44 The proportion of patients assigned to each category, of a six-category ordinal scale. On days 7, 14, and 44 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;
