Study Summary

ACTIV-1 IM is a master protocol designed to evaluate multiple investigational agents for the treatment of moderately or severely ill patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The research objectives are to evaluate each agent with respect to speed of recovery, mortality, illness severity, and hospital resource utilization. Each agent will be evaluated as add-on therapy to the standard of care (SoC) in use at the local clinics, including remdesivir (provided). The SoC may change during the course of the study based on other research findings. Comparisons of the agents among themselves is not a research objective.

The study population corresponds to moderately and severely ill patients infected with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus. Recruitment will target patients already hospitalized for treatment of COVID-19 infection as well as patients being treated for COVID-19 infection in Emergency Departments while waiting to be admitted to the hospital. Patients both in and out of the ICU are included in the study population.

  2. Agrees to not to participate in another interventional trial for the treatment ofCOVID-19 through Day 60. Exception 1: Participant may co-enroll in ACTIV-4 (ACTIV-4A and ACTIV-4C). Exception 2:Participants in ACTIV-2 who have been hospitalized may be enrolled in ACTIV-1 as long asACTIV-2 study therapy has been discontinued. They will remain in ACTIV-2 follow-up. Exception 3: If participant is already participating in a COVID-19 vaccine trial butdevelops COVID-19 disease that requires hospitalization, participant is eligible for thisstudy, assuming all other inclusion/exclusion criteria are met.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. ALT or AST >10 times the upper limit of normal.
  2. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min (including patients receivinghemodialysis or hemofiltration). Exception: Participants with an eGFR <30 mL/min may enroll as long as their renalinsufficiency has been stable without renal replacement therapy for ≥1 month and theyare not current candidates for renal replacement therapy. These participants will notreceive remdesivir.
  3. Neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count <1000 cells/μL) (<1.0 x 103/μL or <1.0 GI/L).
  4. Lymphopenia (absolute lymphocyte count <200 cells/μL) (<0.20 x 103/μL or <0.20 GI/L)
  5. Pregnancy or breast feeding.
  6. Anticipated discharge from the hospital or transfer to another hospital which is not astudy site within 72 hours.
  7. Known allergy to any study medication.
  8. Received cytotoxic or biologictargeted immune-modulator treatments (such asanti-interleukin-1 [IL-1], anti-IL-6 [tocilizumab or sarilumab], anti-IL-17, or T-cellor B-cell targeted therapies ([e.g., rituximab), tyrosine kinase], JAK inhibitors [including baricitinib,], TNF inhibitors, or interferon) within 4 weeks or 5half-lives prior to screening., whichever is longer. Steroid dependency, defined asneed for prednisone at a dose >10 mg (or equivalent) for >1 month within 2 weeks ofscreening, is exclusionary. Note Exception 1: Dexamethasone (at a dose of 6 mg per dayfor up to 10 days) is permitted for the treatment of COVID-19 in patients who arealready mechanically ventilated and in patients who require supplemental oxygen atscreening, but who are not mechanically ventilated in accordance with nationalguidelines. Note Exception 2: Infusion of convalescent plasma given for treatment ofCOVID-19 while on-study is also allowed. Exception 3: Monoclonal antibody therapy given for COVID-19 treatment at any timeprior to enrollment is also allowed.
  9. BasedKnown or suspected history of untreated tuberculosis (TB). TB diagnosis may besuspected based on medical history and concomitant therapies that would suggest TBinfection, have suspected clinical diagnosis of current active tuberculosis (TB) or,if. Participants are also excluded if they have known, latent TB treated for less than 4 weeks with appropriate anti-tuberculosis therapy per local guidelines (by historyonly, no screening required).
  10. Based on medical history and concomitant therapies that would suggest infection,Knownor suspected serious, active bacterial, fungal, or viral (infection (exceptingSARS-CoV-2 and including, but not limited to, active HBV, HCV, or HIV/AIDS). with thelatter defined as a CD4 count <200 or an unsuppressed HIV viral load), or otherinfection (besides COVID-19) that in the opinion of the investigator could constitutea risk when taking investigational product. Note: Broad-spectrum empiric antibiotic usage does not exclude participation.
  11. Have received any live vaccine (that is,or live attenuated) within 3 months beforescreening, or intend to receive a live vaccine (or live attenuated) during the study.Note Exception: Use of prior non-live (inactivated) vaccinations is allowed for allparticipants, including any vaccine for COVID-19.
  12. Severe hepatic impairment (defined as liver cirrhosis Child stage C).
  13. CurrentKnown severe heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] III-IV).) ornew-onset left-systolic or global cardiac dysfunction in the setting of COVID-19. Exception: Right-sided heart dysfunction or pulmonary hypertension thought related toCOVID-19 is permitted.
  14. In the Investigator's judgment, the patient has any advanced organ dysfunction thatwould not make participation appropriate.

Study Description

ACTIV-1 IM is a master protocol designed to evaluate immune modulators for the treatment of moderately or severely ill hospitalized patients infected with COVID-19. Trial participants will be assessed daily while hospitalized. If the participants are discharged from the hospital prior to Day 29, they will have follow-up study visits at Days 8, 11, 15, 22, and 29. For discharged participants, it is preferred that the Day 8, 11, 15, and 29 visits are in person to obtain safety laboratory tests and blood (serum/plasma) samples for secondary research as well as clinical outcome data. However, infection control or other restrictions may limit the ability of the participant to return to the clinic. In this case, these visits may be conducted by phone, and only clinical data will be obtained. The Day 22 visit does not have laboratory tests or collection of samples and is conducted by phone. The Day 60 assessment will be conducted by phone.

The effectiveness of each therapeutic agent as add-on therapy to SoC plus remdesivir (provided) will be evaluated based on the primary endpoint of time to recovery by Day 29. The sample size requirements are based on the ability to detect a moderate improvement in time to recovery (3-4 fewer days) for each agent. A total of 788 recoveries are required for each comparison to provide approximately 85% power to detect a recovery rate ratio of 1.25. Assuming 73% of participants achieve recovery in 28 days, consistent with the ACTT-1 results, the total sample size to evaluate 1, 2, and 3 agents in ACTIV-1 IM is approximately 1080, 1620, and 2160, respectively. Because each agent is being compared to SoC with no between-agent comparisons, no multiplicity adjustments for multiple agents are planned.

The CVC arm of the study was closed to enrollment on 3-Sep-2021.
