Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The goal of this clinical study was to test how well the study drug, obeldesivir (GS-5245), worked and how safe it was in treating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in participants that have a higher risk of getting a serious illness.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The protocol and consent/assent forms were submitted by each investigator to a duly constituted Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) for review and approval before study initiation. All revisions to the consent/assent forms (if applicable) after initial IEC/IRB approval were submitted by the investigator to the IEC/IRB for review and approval before implementation in accordance with regulatory requirements. This study was conducted in accordance with recognized international scientific and ethical standards, including but not limited to the International Conference on Harmonization guideline for Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) and the original principles embodied in the Declaration of Helsinki.

    COVID-19–related hospitalization was defined as ≥ 24 hours of acute care for a reason related to COVID-19, in a hospital or similar acute care facility, including emergency rooms or temporary facilities instituted to address medical needs of those with COVID-19. This included specialized acute medical care units within an assisted living facility or nursing home. This did not include hospitalization for the purposes of public health and/or clinical trial execution. The date and duration of hospital admission, and primary reason for hospitalization (including if the hospitalization was related to COVID-19) were recorded. Full Analysis Positive Set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and were SARS-CoV-2 positive at baseline as confirmed by cepheid’s xpert xpress coronavirus-2/flu/respiratory syncytial virus plus test or SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction test from the central laboratory.

    End point description
    Time to COVID-19 symptom alleviation was calculated as symptom alleviation date/time minus the first dose date/time. Symptom alleviation was evaluated for the 15 targeted symptoms using symptoms of infection with coronavirus-19 (SIC) questionnaire. The SIC questionnaire assessed all targeted symptoms, alleviation was defined as the SIC rating of 0, or at least 3 points decrease in rating from baseline, or an answer “No” to the question for at least 48 consecutive hours. Analysis Population Description: Participants in the Full Analysis Positive Set with Covid19 symptoms who completed Symptoms of Infection With Coronavirus-19 at baseline were analyzed. 1111: Upper limit of CI did not reach due to low number of participants with events.

    Plasma Concentrations of GS-441524 (Metabolite of Obeldesivir) [8]
    End point description
    Pharmacokinetic Analysis Set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 1 non missing concentration value reported by the PK laboratory with available data were analyzed .

    Secondary
    End point timeframe
    Day 1, 0.75 and 2 hours postdose and Day 5 predose and 0.75 hours postdose
    Notes
    [8] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: No statistical comparison was planned or performed.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    29 Mar 2023
    Key changes included in Amendment 1 were the addition and modification of risk factors and targeted signs and symptoms of COVID-19 to the inclusion criteria, aligning with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Additional relevant nonclinical toxicology, pharmacology, and PK language were included based on Phase 1 drug-drug interactions and radiolabeled ADME. Consequently, restrictions on the coadministration of acid-reducing agents were removed, hormonal contraceptive measures were amended, and phototoxicity results demonstrating that GS-5245 was not considered a photosafety risk were incorporated. Updates to secondary and exploratory objectives and endpoints were made to capture omissions (PK) and reflect additional analyses (PROs, viral titer, and coinfections)..

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No
