E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Main Study Primary Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of EB05 + SOC vs. Placebo + SOC in adult hospitalized patients with COVID-19 that are classified Level 6 and Level 7 WHO COVID-19 Severity Scale.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary Objective To evaluate the safety of EB05 in adult hospitalized patients with COVID-19 that are classified as Level 6 or Level 7 on the WHO COVID-19 Severity Scale. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Main Study: All the following criteria need to be met for inclusion: 1. Men and women ≥18 years of age at the time of consent. 2. Laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. 3. Hospitalized for COVID-19 related respiratory disease. 4. Patient belongs to one of the following four categories in the nine-point COVID-19 severity scale: • Hospitalized, requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation- Level 6 of the nine-point COVID-19 severity scale. (Cohort 1) • Hospitalized, and intubated with additional organ support – pressors, RRT, ECMO – Level 7 of the nine-point COVID-19 severity scale. (Cohort 2) 5. For women of childbearing potential: negative pregnancy test and agreement to remain abstinent or to use highly effective contraceptive methods during the study, and for 11 weeks after the study drug administration (five half-lives). The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. These include: • Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation - oral - intravaginal - transdermal • Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation - oral - injectable - implantable • Intrauterine device (IUD) • Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) • Bilateral tubal occlusion • Vasectomised partner 1 • Sexual abstinence 2 Note: A woman of non-childbearing potential is defined as follows: • Age ≥60 years of age • Has had surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy); • Has had a cessation of menses for at least 12 months without an alternative medical cause, and a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test confirming nonchildbearing potential (refer to laboratory reference ranges for confirmatory levels). 6. For men with female partners of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent or use adequate contraceptive methods by yourself or your partner, as applicable, during study duration, and for 11 weeks after the study drug administration (five half-lives). These include: • Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation - oral - intravaginal - transdermal • Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation - oral - injectable - implantable • Intrauterine device (IUD) • Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) • Bilateral tubal occlusion • Vasectomised partner • Sexual abstinence • progestogen-only oral hormonal contraception, where inhibition of ovulation is not the primary mode of action • male or female condom with or without spermicide • cap, diaphragm or sponge with spermicide 7. Informed consent obtained from any patient capable of giving consent, or, when the patient is not capable of giving consent, from his or her legal/authorized representatives.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients will be excluded if any of the following criteria are met: 1. The subject is a female who is breastfeeding or pregnant. 2. Known hypersensitivity to EB05 or its excipients. 3. In the opinion of the investigator, death is imminent and inevitable or patient will be discharged within the next 48 - 72 hours, irrespective of the provision of treatment. 4. Experiencing cardiac arrest while hospitalized with COVID-19. 5. Active participation in other immunomodulator or immunosuppressant drug clinical trials. 6. Treatment with immunomodulator or immunosuppressant drugs, including but not limited to TNF inhibitors and antiIL-1 agents, within 5 half-lives or 30 days (whichever is longer) before randomization. (Note treatment with immunomodulator or immunosuppressant drugs, such as corticosteroids, as part of SOC, is permitted). 7. Known other clinical conditions that contraindicate EB05 and cannot be treated or solved according to the judgement of the clinician. 8. Patients that are discharged alive or die within the first 3 days after randomization. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary Efficacy Endpoint There are two independent primary efficacy endpoints that will depend on the patient cohort.
Cohort 1: WHO COVID – SEVERITY SCALE LEVEL 6: Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Ventilator-Free Days (VFD), defined as being alive and free from mechanical ventilation at Day 28 from IP administration.
Cohort 2: WHO COVID – SEVERITY SCALE LEVEL 7: Critically- Ill The mortality rate at Day 28 from IP administration. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary Efficacy Endpoints: • Time to discharge from IP administration. • The proportion of patients who are discharged by Day 28 from IP administration. • The proportion of patients with clinical improvement, defined as a decrease of two points or more on the WHO 9 – point ordinal scale at Day 28 from IP administration • The proportion of patients with clinical improvement, defined as a decrease of two points or more on the WHO 9 – point ordinal scale at Day 60 from IP administration. • Time to clinical improvement by 2 points on the WHO ordinal scale described above from IP administration. • Days alive and ventilator-free at Day 28 from IP administration (Cohort 2 only) • Days alive and free of organ support at Day 28 from IP administration. • Days alive and ventilator-free at Day 60 from IP administration. • Days alive and free of organ support at Day 60 from IP administration. • The mortality rate at Day 28 from IP administration (Cohort 1 only) • The mortality rate at Day 60 from IP administration. • Duration of hospitalization from IP administration. • Duration of ICU stay from IP administration. • Change in Berlin ARDS classification from IP administration. Safety Endpoint: The number of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious TEAEs. |
