E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Virology Sub-Study for A Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of AT-527 in Subjects with Moderate COVID-19 Sub-Study Version 1.0 24-Sep-2020.
Selected study sites will have capability to do more intensive sampling will be offered participation in sub-study. Upon consent with a supplemental ICF, subjects who elect to participate in sub-study will have additional samples taken in addition to assessments conducted as part of main study AT-03A-001. These samples at additional timepoints may be used for SARS-CoV-2 qualitative testing, SARS-CoV-2 quantitative testing, SARSCoV-2 antibody testing, resistance analysis, PK analysis and PK/PD analyses. These samples may be analyzed locally or stored at a central laboratory until validated assays become available to analyse them. |

Clinical signs indicative of severe or critical COVID-19 illness, defined as any of the following: RR ≥30, HR ≥125, SpO2 <93% on room air or requires >2L/min oxygen by nasal cannula or mask to maintain SpO2 ≥93%, systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure < 60 mm Hg or PaO2/FiO2 <300 3. Any subject with a concomitant life-threatening condition, including but not limited to the following: requiring mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), shock, cardiac failure or suspected bacterial sepsis. 4. Evidence of lobar or segmental consolidation on chest imaging. 5. Congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction within the previous 6 months. 6.

Note: If the subject was previously treated with such an agent, treatment must have been discontinued at least 7 days prior to planned dosing on the current trial. The use of hydroxychloroquine is not allowed in this trial. Convalescent plasma is permitted as part of local SOC. 10. Use of other investigational drugs within 30 days of dosing, or plans to enroll in another clinical trial of an investigational agent while participating in the present study. 11. S-T segment elevation or other clinically significant abnormal ECG at Screening, as determined by the investigator. 12. Subject has a history of active hepatitis B infection or uncured hepatitis C infection. Subjects with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are allowed, as long as they are virologically suppressed with CD4 count at least 500 cells/mm3. 13. Active clinically significant diseases including: - Active urinary tract infection - History of severe renal impairment or receiving renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis) 14. Subjects with malignant disease can continue antineoplastic therapy during the study period unless the antineoplastic therapy includes an immunomodulator or is expected to result in severe bone marrow suppression during the study (e.g., risk for grade 3 or higher anemia, leukopenia, or thrombocytopenia). 15. Requires use of immunosuppressive doses of systemic corticosteroids, defined as the equivalent of 20 mg prednisone daily during any two week time period (280 mg prednisone equivalent total dose) in the three months prior to study entry. Low-level dexamethasone dosing (6 mg/day) is allowed, according to investigator preference. 16. Requires use of immunosupresive drugs (e.g. for organ transplantation or autoimmune conditions) during the primary 14-day study period. 17. Concomitant use of any known major inhibitor or inducer of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), as described in Section 5.8. Investigational product dosing cannot be initiated unless the investigator feels that the concomitant medication can be safely discontinued or substituted. 18. Concomitant use or prior use of hydroxychloroquine or amiodarone within 7 days of Screening. 19. Abnormal values at Screening: - ALT or AST > 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) - Total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN, unless the subject has known Gilbert’s syndrome - Hemoglobin < 10 g/dL for females or < 12 g/dL for males - Total white blood cell (WBC) count < 2,500/mm3 or absolute neutrophil count < 800/mm3 - Platelet count < 80 x 109/L 20. Any clinically significant medical condition or laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator, could jeopardize the safety of the subject or impact subject compliance or safety/efficacy observations in the study. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Progressive respiratory insufficiency (PRI), defined as a ≥ 2-tier increase in respiratory support methods required to maintain satisfactory oxygenation (SpO2 ≥ 93%), using a 6-tier hierarchical scale of respiratory support methods. The primary efficacy goal is a 50% reduction in the incidence of PRI in active treatment recipients compared to placebo recipients. |
