E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess whether administration of surfactant therapy via the modified Aerogen nebuliser results in improved PaO2/FiO2 ratio and ventilation index in patients with COVID-19 after last dose of surfactant and the optimal dosing schedule to be used. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess the safety of surfactant therapy via the modified Aerogen nebuliser and mean clinical improvement of patients with COVID-19 following administration. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Age ≥18 years old 2. Confirmed COVID-19 positive by PCR 3. Within 24 hours of mechanical ventilation 4. Assent obtained from personnel (PerLR) or professional legal representative (ProfLR)
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Imminent expected death within 24 hours 2. Specific contraindications to surfactant administration (e.g. known allergy, pneumothorax, pulmonary haemorrhage) 3. Known or suspected pregnancy 4. Stage 4 severe chronic kidney disease or requiring dialysis (i.e., eGFR < 30) 5. Liver failure (Child-Pugh Class C) 6. Anticipated transfer to another hospital, which is not a study site within 72 hours. 7. Current participation or participation in another study within the last month that in the opinion of the investigator would prevent enrollment for safety purposes. 8. Consent declined

|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The key secondary endpoint is safety over the first 29 days after administration of surfactant assessed by: • Cumulative incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) • Cumulative incidence of Grade 3 and 4 adverse events (AEs). • Cumulative incidence of AEs. • Changes in white cell count, hemoglobin, platelets, creatinine, glucose, total bilirubin, ALT, and AST over time.
Other secondary endpoints are: • Change in PaO2/FiO2 after last dose of surfactant at 24 and 48 hours after study initiation • Change in ventilatory index value at 24 and 48 hours after study initiation • Change in pulmonary compliance (L/cmH2O) at 24 and 48 hours after study initiation • Change in PEEP requirement at 24 and 48 hours after study initiation • Number of days on mechanical ventilation after last dose of surfactant • Number of days hospitalized after last dose of surfactant • Ordinal outcome after last dose of surfactant assessed daily while hospitalized and on Days 15 and 28 1. Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities 2. Not hospitalized, limitation on activities; 3. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen; 4. Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 5. Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; 6. Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO; 7. Death. • Ventilation days, every day after study initiation • Ventilator Free days, every day after study initiation until day 21 • Intensive Unit Care length of stay, every day after study initiation • Number of Hospital Days, every day after study initiation • 28-day mortaility, on day 28 after the study initiation
|
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
