About this study

Official title: A Phase 2/3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Mavrilimumab (KPL-301) Treatment in Adult Subjects Hospitalized With Severe COVID-19 Pneumonia and Hyper-inflammation

Interventional, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study encompassing 2 development phases (Phase 2 and Phase 3).

Read the detailed description

The Phase 2 portion of the study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 dose levels of mavrilimumab relative to placebo (standard of care) in participants who have tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) with x-ray/computed tomography (CT) evidence of bilateral pneumonia and active or recent signs of hyperinflammation (fever or clinical laboratory results indicative of hyper-inflammation). The Phase 3 portion is intended to confirm Phase 2 efficacy and safety findings. In both Phase 2 and Phase 3, participants will be enrolled into 2 cohorts: Cohort 1 will include non-mechanically ventilated, hospitalized participants who require supplemental oxygen to maintain oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≥ 92% (ie, "non-mechanically ventilated" participants); Cohort 2 will include hospitalized participants for whom mechanical ventilation was recently initiated (ie, "mechanically ventilated" participants). Following Screening, enrolled participants in each cohort will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive one of 2 mavrilimumab dose levels, or placebo as a single intravenous (IV) infusion (Day 1). Participants will undergo primary study assessments through Day 29 and will be followed for safety through Day 90.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cohort 1, Phase 2: Percentage of Participants Alive and Free of Mechanical Ventilation at Day 29

    Mechanical ventilation is defined as invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Mechanical ventilation status was evaluated based on the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) clinical outcome 8-point ordinal scale. Participants whose clinical outcome met a NIAID score of 2 were considered as using mechanical ventilation.

    The NIAID score is an 8-point ordinal scale of clinical outcomes: 1=death; 2=hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO; 3=hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; 4= hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 5=hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID 19 related or otherwise); 6=hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care; 7=not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen; 8=not hospitalized, no limitations on activities.

    Measured: Day 29

  2. Cohort 1, Phase 3: Percentage of Participants Alive and Free of Mechanical Ventilation at Day 29

    Mechanical ventilation is defined as invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Mechanical ventilation status was evaluated based on the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) clinical outcome 8-point ordinal scale. Participants whose clinical outcome met a NIAID score of 2 were considered as using mechanical ventilation.

    The NIAID score is an 8-point ordinal scale of clinical outcomes: 1=death; 2=hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO; 3=hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; 4= hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 5=hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID 19 related or otherwise); 6=hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care; 7=not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen; 8=not hospitalized, no limitations on activities.

    Measured: Day 29

  3. Cohort 2, Phase 2: Percentage of Participants Who Died by Day 29

    Defined as the proportion of subjects with mechanical ventilation who have died by Day 29.

    Measured: Day 29

  4. Cohort 2, Phase 3: Percentage of Participants Who Died by Day 29

    Defined as the proportion of subjects with mechanical ventilation who have died by Day 29.

    Measured: Day 29

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Cohort 1, Phase 2: Time to 2-point Clinical Improvement by Day 29

    Defined as time from randomization to a 2-point improvement on the NIAID 8-point ordinal scale, or discharge from the hospital, whichever came first. Participants who died before Day 29 were censored at Day 30. Kaplan-Meier method used to estimate the survival functions for each treatment arm.

    The NIAID score is an 8-point ordinal scale of clinical outcomes: 1=death; 2=hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO; 3=hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; 4= hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 5=hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID 19 related or otherwise); 6=hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care; 7=not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen; 8=not hospitalized, no limitations on activities.

    Measured: Day 29

  2. Phase 2, Cohort 1: Time to Return to Room Air or Discharge by Day 29

    Defined as time from randomization to breathing room air (NIAID score ≥ 5), or discharge from the hospital, whichever came first. Participants who died before Day 29 were censored at Day 30.

    Measured: Day 29

  3. Phase 2, Cohort 1: Percentage of Participants Who Die by Day 29

    95% CI were calculated using Clopper-Pearson exact method based on the beta distribution.

    Measured: Day 29

  4. Phase 2, Cohort 2: Time to 1-Point Clinical Improvement by Day 29

    Defined as time from randomization to the date of a 1-point improvement on the NIAID score 8-point ordinal scale or discharge from the hospital, whichever occurred first, by Day 29. Participants who did not have 1-point improvement on the NIAID nor discharge from the hospital were censored at the date of the last NIAID 8-point ordinal scale assessment on/before Day 29. Participants who died were censored at Day 32.

    Measured: Day 29

  5. Phase 3, Cohort 1: Percentage of Participants Who Died at Day 29

    Mortality rate at day 29 is the proportion of subjects who die by day 29. 95% CI were calculated using Clopper-Pearson exact method based on the beta distribution.

    Measured: Day 29

  6. Phase 3, Cohort 1: Ventilation-Free Survival (Time to Ventilation or Death) by Day 29

    Time to ventilation or death by Day 29 was defined as time (in days) from randomization to the date of death or start date of using mechanical ventilation (NIAID score ≤ 2) by Day 29. Participants who never had NIAID score ≤ 2 by Day 29 were censored at last assessment date of NIAID 8-point ordinal scale.

    Measured: Day 29

  7. Phase 3, Cohort 1: Overall Survival by Day 29

    Overall survival was defined as time from randomization to the date of death on/before Day 29. Participants who did not have a death record by Day 29 were censored at last date known alive on/before Day 29.

    Measured: Day 29

  8. Phase 3, Cohort 2: Time to 1-point Clinical Improvement by Day 29

    Defined as time from randomization to the date of a 1-point improvement on the NIAID 8-point ordinal scale or discharge from the hospital, whichever occurred first, by Day 29. Participants who did not have 1-point improvement on the NIAID nor discharge from the hospital were censored at the date of the last NIAID 8-point ordinal scale assessment on/before Day 29. Participants who died were censored at Day 35.

    Measured: Day 29

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing mavrilimumab in people with COVID, run by Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals International, plc at 32 sites in 5 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 32 sites in Brazil, United States, South Africa, Peru, Chile. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jan 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cohort 1, Phase 2: Percentage of Participants Alive and Free of Mechanical Ventilation at Day 29 (time frame: Day 29). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jan 2025.
