- Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the time to confirmed clinical recovery in participants hospitalized with COVID-19. Candidate agents will be evaluated frequently for efficacy and safety, with candidate agents being added to and/or removed from the study on an ongoing basis, depending on the results of their evaluation.
- Detailed Description
This adaptive, randomized, placebo-controlled platform study is designed to rapidly assess multiple candidate agents as treatments for COVID-19 in hospitalized patients. Candidate agents will be evaluated frequently (through ongoing monitoring) for futility and safety, with candidate agents being added to and/or removed from the study on an ongoing basis, depending on the results of their evaluation.
For inclusion, participants will need to be hospitalized with a clinical status of Grade 2 to Grade 5, as defined by the following Clinical Severity Status 8-Point Ordinal Scale:
1. Death
2. Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
3. Hospitalized, on noninvasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen devices
4. Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen
5. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen, requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19 related or otherwise)
6. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen, no longer requires ongoing medical care
7. Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen
8. Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities
Participants will be randomized equally to either the candidate agent plus standard of care (SoC) or placebo plus SoC in a double-blind fashion. Participants who are randomized to placebo plus SoC will subsequently be randomized equally to a matching placebo corresponding to an available agent whose sub-protocol the patient qualified for (ie, a 2-stage randomization). Each participant in the placebo plus SoC group will only receive one type of placebo. Randomization will be stratified by baseline clinical severity of 2 on the 8-point ordinal scale (yes/no) and remdesivir use at baseline (yes/no).
The study will evaluate each candidate agent separately as an add-on to the SoC to assess safety and efficacy. The comparator group for a candidate agent will include participants randomized to the placebo arm of any sub-protocol according to the following conditions:
* Apremilast sub-protocol: participants who were enrolled concurrently to apremilast and who would have been eligible for the apremilast sub-protocol.
* Lanadelumab sub-protocol: at a site where at least one participant was randomized to either lanadelumab active or placebo arms.
* Zilucoplan sub-protocol: at a site where at least one participant was randomized to either the zilucoplan active or placebo arms.

Not hospitalized, no limitations on activitiesZilucoplan Sub-protocol: Number of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Days From Day 1 Through Day 29 Day 1 to Day 29 Number of ICU days is the sum of the duration of any episode of ICU admission between Day 1 and Day 29, both inclusive. The number of ICU days of participants who died before or on Day 29 as well as of participants with a score of 7 on the clinical severity status 8-point ordinal scale who were discharged to hospice care by Day 29 was set to 30 (worst possible outcome).
Zilucoplan Sub-protocol: Number of Invasive Mechanical Ventilator Days From Day 1 Through Day 29 Day 1 to Day 29 Number of invasive mechanical ventilator days is the sum of the duration of any episode of invasive mechanical ventilator admission between Day 1 and Day 29, both inclusive. The number of invasive mechanical ventilator days of participants who died before or on Day 29 as well as of participants with a score of 7 on the clinical severity status 8-point ordinal scale who were discharged to hospice care by Day 29 was set to 30.
Zilucoplan Sub-protocol: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Recovery by Days 8, 15, and 29 Day 8, Day 15, and Day 29 Clinical recovery is defined as being fit for discharge, i.e., the achievement of a score of 6, 7, or 8 on the clinical severity status 8-point ordinal scale. Participants with a score of 7 discharged to hospice care were not considered fit for discharge. Participants who discontinued the study on or before Days 8, 15, or 29 or with a missing clinical recovery status were considered as not having clinical recovery at each respective time point.
Clinical severity status 8-point ordinal scale:
1. Death
2. Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO
3. Hospitalized, on noninvasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen devices
4. Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen
5. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen, requiring ongoing medical care
6. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen, no longer requires ongoing medical care
7. Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen
8. Not hospitalized, no limitations on activitiesZilucoplan Sub-protocol: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Sustained Clinical Recovery Day 60 Sustained clinical recovery is defined as being fit for discharge (achieving a score of 6, 7, or 8 on the clinical severity status 8-point ordinal scale) by Day 29, without re-hospitalization by Day 60. Participants with a score of 7 discharged to hospice care were not considered fit for discharge. Participants who died or discontinued from study or with a missing clinical recovery status at Day 60 were not considered having sustained clinical recovery.
Clinical severity status 8-point ordinal scale:
1. Death
2. Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO
3. Hospitalized, on noninvasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices
4. Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen
5. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen, requiring ongoing medical care
6. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen, no longer requires ongoing medical care
7. Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen
8. Not hospitalized, no limitations on activitiesZilucoplan Sub-protocol: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events From first dose of study drug to end of study (Day 60) An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to study treatment. A TEAE is an AE that occurs after the first dose of study drug. A serious AE is any AE that resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, resulted in persistent disability/incapacity, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or an important medical event that may jeopardize the patient or require intervention to prevent an outcome listed above.
The Investigator assessed the intensity of each AE according to the CTCAE grades:
* Grade 1 Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms;
* Grade 2 Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated;
* Grade 3 Severe or medically significant, not immediately life-threatening;
* Grade 4 Life-threatening; urgent intervention indicated;
* Grade 5 Death due to AE.
