E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Time to first occurrence of either death from any cause or new/worsened organ dysfunction through 30 days of follow up, defined as at least one of the following: • Respiratory decompensation requiring initiation of invasive or non invasive mechanical ventilation or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment, and/or initiation of veno venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) • New or worsening congestive HFa during current hospitalization • Requirement for vasopressor therapy and/or inotropic or mechanical circulatory support • Ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation lasting at least 30 seconds and/or associated with hemodynamic instability or pulseless electrical activity, or resuscitated cardiac arrest • Initiation of renal replacement therapy |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
A number of efficacy endpoints, listed below, relate to the timing of an event. Patients are reviewed daily for the occurrence of each of these events. The date and time (24 hr) (time if known) of the event will be recorded. • Death from any cause • New/worsened organ dysfunction (as defined in the primary outcome measure). This will be tested for both definitions of respiratory decompensation • Hospital discharge • Acute kidney injury (defined as doubling of s Creatinine compared to baseline) The NEWS 2 can be used on all hospitalized patients to allow for the early detection of clinical deterioration and potential need for higher level of care. It determines the degree of illness of a patient and prompts critical care intervention. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
To evaluate the net clinical benefit of dapagliflozin 10 mg compared to placebo in patients hospitalized with COVID 19 To compare the effect of dapagliflozin 10 mg versus placebo on time to hospital discharge To compare the effect of dapagliflozin 10 mg versus placebo on total number of days alive, out of hospital, and/or free from mechanical ventilation To compare the effect of dapagliflozin 10 mg versus placebo on total number of days alive, not in ICU, and/or free from mechanical ventilation To compare the effect of dapagliflozin 10 mg versus placebo in reducing the incidence of all cause mortality To compare the effect of dapagliflozin 10 mg versus placebo in reducing new or worsened organ dysfunction To compare the effect of dapagliflozin 10 mg versus placebo on acute kidney injury

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
The end of the study is defined as ‘the last visit of the last subject undergoing the study’—also known as LSLV. The study is expected to start in second quarter 2020, with LSLV in the third quarter 2020. The study may be terminated at individual centers if the study procedures are not being performed according to GCP, or if recruitment is slow. Sponsor may also terminate the entire study prematurely if concerns for safety arise within this study or in any other study with dapagliflozin. |
