Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT05506176
Lead Sponsor
Jiangsu Simcere Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Brief Summary

This Phase Ⅱ/Ⅲ study is to evaluate whether or not there is a difference in time recovery of COVID-19 signs and symptoms through Day 29 between SIM0417/ritonavir and placebo.

Detailed Description

The efficacy, safety, and tolerability of SIM0417/ritonavir compared to placebo will be investigated. The exposure to SIM0417 in this population will also be investigated.

  9. Has hypersensitivity or other contraindication to any of the components of the study interventions.

  10. Other medical or psychiatric conditions including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator's judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study.

  11. Clinical signs indicative of severe systemic illness with COVID-19, such as respiratory rate ≥30 per minute, heart rate ≥125 per minute, oxygen saturation (SpO2) of ≤93% on room air or the ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) <300 obtained at rest within 24 hours prior to randomization.

  12. Treatment with antivirals against SARS-CoV-2 within 14 days prior to the first dose of randomization.

  13. Current or expected use of any medications or substances that are highly dependent on CYP3A4 for clearance and for which elevated plasma concentrations may be associated with serious and/or life-threatening events during study treatment and for 4 days after the last dose of study drug (refer to Appendix 6).

  14. Concomitant use of any medications or substances that are strong inducers of CYP3A4 are prohibited within 21 days prior to randomization and during study treatment (refer to Appendix 6).

  15. Has received (within the past 30 days or 5 × drug half-life prior to randomization, which is longer) or is expected to receive COVID-19 monoclonal antibody or convalescent COVID-19 plasma during study treatment.

  16. Systemic glucocorticoid therapy (prednisone ≥ 20 mg/day or equivalent doses of other steroids) for at least 14 consecutive days within 30 days prior to randomization.

  17. Has received any SARS-CoV-2 vaccine within 3 months prior to randomization.

  18. Participating in another interventional clinical study with an investigational compound or device, including those for COVID-19.

  19. Previous administration with any investigational drug or vaccine within 30 days (or as determined by the local requirement) or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to randomization.

  20. Known prior participation in this trial or other trial involving SIM0417.

  21. Women who are breastfeeding or have a positive pregnancy test in the pre-dose examinations. The following female patients who have documentation of either a or b below do not need to undergo a pregnancy test in the pre-dose examinations:

    1. Postmenopausal women (defined as cessation of regular menstrual periods for 12 months or more, and confirmed by a follicle-stimulating hormone test if <60 years old)
    2. Women who are surgically sterile by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation
  22. Has any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the participant or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments.

    For subjects who have conditional ECG at screening only:

  23. Clinically relevant or significant electrocardiographic abnormalities (e.g., second-degree type II AV block, left bundle branch block, etc.), including electrocardiographic QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia 's correction formula (QTcF = QT/(RR0.33)) > 450 ms (males) or > 470 ms (females).
