What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants on Invasive Mechanical Ventilation or Died Prior to or on Day 28

    The percentage of participants on invasive mechanical ventilation is defined as the delivery of positive pressure to the lungs via an endotracheal tube (or tracheostomy) or death prior to or on day 28.

    Measured: From first dose to 28 days post first dose

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in the Ordinal 8-Point Clinical Status Scale on Day 28

    Adjusted mean change from baseline based on the following Ordinal 8-point Clinical Status Scale that was proposed for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial (ACTT) and is recorded by the worst score (lowest number) state for each day:

    1. Death;
    2. Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO);
    3. Hospitalized, on non-invasive mechanical 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 limitation on activities Baseline is defined as the last assessment done prior or on Day 1

    Measured: Baseline and on Day 28

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Died

    Percentage of participants who died due to any cause. Participants in the following Ordinal 8-point Clinical Status Scale that is recorded by the worst score (lowest number) state for each day meet this definition:

    1. Death

    Measured: From first dose to 28 days post first dose

  3. Percentage of Participants Alive and Free of Respiratory Failure on Day 28±3

    Respiratory failure is defined by the type of resources required as defined by the use of any of these: Mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or oxygen delivery by noninvasive positive pressure or high flow nasal cannula.

    Participants in the following Ordinal 8-point Clinical Status Scale that is recorded by the worst score (lowest number) state for each day meet this definition:

    1. 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 limitation on activities

    Measured: Day 28±3

  4. Percentage of Participants Returned to Room Air on Day 28

    Recovery of pulmonary function is assessed by the percentage of participants returned to room air on day 28 after they were oxygen dependent and dependence on oxygen has been noted to be prolonged even after hospital discharge.

    Participants in the following Ordinal 8-point Clinical Status Scale that is recorded by the worst score (lowest number) state for each day meet this definition:

    1. 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; 8) Not hospitalized, no limitation on activities

    Measured: Day 28

  5. Percentage of Participants Alive and Discharged From the Hospital by Day 28

    Percentage of participants alive and discharged from the hospital on day 28. Participants in the following Ordinal 8-point Clinical Status Scale that is recorded by the worst score (lowest number) state for each day meet this definition:

    1. Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen; 8) Not hospitalized, no limitation on activities

    Measured: From day 1 up to day 28

  6. Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events

    Percentage of participants with serious adverse events (SAEs). SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose:

    • Results in death
    • Is life threatening
    • Requires inpatient hospitalization
    • Results in persistent or significant disability
    • Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect
    • Is an important medical event

    Measured: From first dose to 60 days post first dose

  7. Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) of the Infections and Infestations System Organ Class

    Percentage of participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) of the infections and infestations System Organ Class (SOC)

    Measured: From first dose to 60 days post first dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Abatacept in people with COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 10 sites in 2 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 5 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. 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 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.

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 7 Oct 2022). 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?

Percentage of Participants on Invasive Mechanical Ventilation or Died Prior to or on Day 28 (time frame: From first dose to 28 days post first dose). 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 7 Oct 2022.
