    Measured: Through Day 29

  19. Mean Change in FLU PRO Plus Total Score (AUC)

    Mean change in InFLUenza Patient-Reported Outcome (FLU-PRO Plus) questionnaire total score.

    The FLU-PRO is a 32-item daily diary assessing influenza symptoms and severity across 6 body systems (nose, throat, eyes, chest/respiratory, gastrointestinal, and body/systemic). The FLU-PRO Plus includes the 32-item FLU-PRO with 2 additional items for loss of smell and taste. The mean total score can range from 0 (symptom free) to 4 (very severe symptoms) and was calculated as the arithmetic mean of the 32 items within FLU-PRO. Missing total score at day 7 was imputed using a modified last observation carried forward approach.

    Measured: Through Day 7

  20. Time to Symptom Alleviation Using FLU-PRO Plus

    Symptom alleviation is defined as absence of the majority of core symptoms of COVID-19 (except for cough or fatigue, where scoring no more than 'somewhat' in severity, and loss of smell or taste were allowed) as measured by FLU-PRO Plus, sustained for >=48 hours. Participants could only achieve sustained symptom alleviation following >=2 non-missing consecutively scored questionnaires that showed symptom alleviation. Participants who did not achieve sustained symptom alleviation were censored at Day 21, the day of death, or the day of withdrawal, whichever was earliest. Days where symptom alleviation could not be assessed to a missing/incomplete questionnaire were imputed as no symptom alleviation.

    The FLU-PRO is a 32-item daily diary assessing influenza symptoms and severity across 6 body systems (nose, throat, eyes, chest/respiratory, gastrointestinal, and body/systemic). The FLU-PRO Plus includes the 32-item FLU-PRO with 2 additional items for loss of smell and taste.

    Measured: Through Day 21

  21. Change From Baseline in Viral Load in Nasal Secretions by qRT-PCR at Day 8

    Measured: Baseline and Day 8

  22. Number of Participants Who Progressed to Develop Severe and/or Critical Respiratory COVID-19 as Manifested by Requirement for and Method of Supplemental Oxygen Through Day 8

    Measured: Through Day 8

  23. Number of Participants Who Progressed to Develop Severe and/or Critical Respiratory COVID-19 as Manifested by Requirement for and Method of Supplemental Oxygen Through Day 15

    Participants were defined as progression to severe respiratory COVID-19 if they required supplemental oxygen either by nasal cannula, face mask, high-flow oxygen devices, or non-invasive ventilation. Participants were defined as progression to critical respiratory COVID-19 if they required invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO.

    Measured: Through Day 15

  24. Number of Participants Who Progressed to Develop Severe and/or Critical Respiratory COVID-19 as Manifested by Requirement for and Method of Supplemental Oxygen Through Day 22

    Participants were defined as progression to severe respiratory COVID-19 if they required supplemental oxygen either by nasal cannula, face mask, high-flow oxygen devices, or non-invasive ventilation. Participants were defined as progression to critical respiratory COVID-19 if they required invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO.

    Measured: Through Day 22

  25. Number of Participants Who Progressed to Develop Severe and/or Critical Respiratory COVID-19 as Manifested by Requirement for and Method of Supplemental Oxygen Through Day 29

    Participants were defined as progression to severe respiratory COVID-19 if they required supplemental oxygen either by nasal cannula, face mask, high-flow oxygen devices, or non-invasive ventilation. Participants were defined as progression to critical respiratory COVID-19 if they required invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO.

    Measured: Through Day 29

  26. 29-day All-cause Mortality

    Participants alive at the respective follow-up timepoint were censored at that timepoint; participants who withdrew prior to the respective timepoint were censored at the time of study withdrawal

    Measured: Through Day 29

    Participants alive at the respective follow-up timepoint were censored at that timepoint; participants who withdrew prior to the respective timepoint were censored at the time of study withdrawal

    Measured: Through Day 60

  28. 90-day All-cause Mortality

    Participants alive at the respective follow-up timepoint were censored at that timepoint; participants who withdrew prior to the respective timepoint were censored at the time of study withdrawal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing VIR-7831 (sotrovimab) in people with Covid19, run by Vir Biotechnology, Inc. at 91 sites in 7 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 7 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 91 sites in United States, Brazil, Peru, Spain, Canada and 2 more countries. 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 7 Nov 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?

Number of Participants Who Had Progression of COVID-19 Through Day 29 (time frame: Through Day 29). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04545060, which also lists 8 linked publications.

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 Nov 2022.
