E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary aim of E21-04 study is to assess the safety and tolerability of two different dose regimens of FBR-002 when given to patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in need of supplemental oxygen and at risk of severe outcome until day 14. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The study has three secondary objectives: a)To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of FBR-002 on SARS CoV 2 infected patients over time from Day D1 to D14, including the mean plasmatic concentration of FBR002 of at least 2.6 µg/mL between Day 1 and Day 7 in treated groups; b)To investigate the impact of FBR-002 on biomarkers and viral load; c)To generate proof-of-concept for the potential clinical efficacy of FBR-002 in these patients

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary study endpoint is to assess the safety and tolerability of two different dose regimens of FBR-002, when given to patients with COVID-19 need of oxygen supplementation at screening, until day 14. This will be measured by the comparaison of the rate of serious and non-serious treatment-emergent adverse events between patients treated with placebo and patient treated with each of the two doses of FBR-002. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The secondary study endpoints are: a)The calculation of Cmax, Tmax, t1/2, AUC[0-24], AUC[0-infinity], CL, Vd of each of the two different dose regimens of FBR-002; b)The rate of patients with the ability to maintain a mean plasmatic concentration of at least 2.6 µg/mL of FBR-002 until Day 7* in each of the two different dose regimens of FBR-002; *A concentration more or equal to 2,6 µg/mL has been described by Fab’entech as sufficient to reach 3 times the EC90 against Delta variant, and thus to block viral replication. c)The comparison of the relative changes of biomarkers over the time from D1 to D14 between patients treated with placebo and patients treated with each of the two dose regimens of FBR-002- d)The comparison of viral load over the time from D1 to D14 between patients treated with placebo and patients treated with each of the two dose regimens of FBR-002; e)The comparison of the rate of patients progressing into WHO-CPS ≥6 by Day 8 between patients treated with placebo and patients treated with either dose of FBR002; f)The comparison of the rate of patients with an improvement of at least two points based on the WHO 11-point ordinal CPS or the rate i.e. hospital discharge between patients treated with placebo and patients treated with either dose of FBR002; this is censored at 7 days after the administration of the first dose (Day 8). Hospital discharge is defined as the achievement of a WHO clinical progression score of ≤3 even if the patients is transferred to a patient ward or care services for social and/or previous health issues
