A Study of the C3 Inhibitor AMY-101 in Patients With ARDS Due to COVID-19 (SAVE)

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-12-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The study is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind phase 2 clinical study of the efficacy and safety of AMY-101, a potent C3 inhibitor, for the management of patients with ARDS caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.

We will assess the efficacy and safety, as well as pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD). The study will assess the impact of AMY-101 in patients with severe COVID19; specifically, it will assess the impact of AMY-101 1) on survival without ARDS and without oxygen requirement at day 21 and 2) on the clinical status of the patients at day 21.

• Phase: Phase 2

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosed with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome due to SARS-CoV-2 infection (severe Covid-19), according to the following criteria:

1. Demonstration of SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia in nasopharyngeal swap or bronchio-alveolar lavage (BAL)

2. A ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) to the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), PaO2/FIO2, ≤300 mmHg

• Mild ARDS (PaO2/FIO2, ≤300 and >200 mm Hg);

• Moderate ARDS (PaO2/FIO2, ≤200 and >100 mm Hg);

• Severe ARDS (PaO2/FIO2, ≤100 mm Hg);

3. Pulmonary infiltrates suggestive of SARS-COV-2-related ARDS: e.g., bilateral infiltrates at chest X-ray or B-lines at lung US scan.

• Dated and signed informed consent from patient or legal represantative.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Intubated patients

• Chemotherapy for less than 3months

• Pregnancy

• Age <18.
