Who may be able to join

  • Male or female, ≥ 18 years old.
  • Diagnosed with COVID-19, as evaluated by PCR test confirming infection with SARS-CoV-2, or suspected COVID-19 diagnosis based on radiological clinical findings.
  • Respiratory distress as evidenced by at least two of the following:
  • Radiographic infiltrates by imaging (chest x-ray, CT scan, etc.)
  • Recording of SpO2 ≤ 90% or the patient is requiring supplemental oxygen to maintain an SpO2 ≥ 90%
  • Requiring supplemental oxygen
  • Diagnosis of mild, moderate, or severe ARDS by Berlin definition
  • A signed informed consent form from the patient or the patient's legal representative must be available.

Who cannot join

  • In the opinion of the clinical team, progression to death is imminent and inevitable within the next 24 hours, irrespective of the provision of treatments.
  • Patient has a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) or do-not-intubate (DNI) order in place
  • Patient has severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic renal failure, or significant liver abnormality (e.g. cirrhosis, transplant, etc.).
  • Patient is on chronic immunosuppressive medication.
  • As a result of the medical review and screening investigation, the Principal Investigator considers the patient unfit for the study.
  • A history of allergic reactions to human albumin (reaction to non-human albumin such as egg albumin is not an exclusion criterion) or excipients in 5% human albumin (N-acetyltryptophan, sodium caprylate).

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence and severity of adverse events

    Incidence and severity of adverse events

    Measured: Day 5

  2. Incidence and severity of adverse events

    Incidence and severity of adverse events

    Measured: Day 28

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Clinical status using 8-point ordinal scale

    Efficacy measures for clinical improvement using 8-point ordinal scale: 0 = Uninfected, 1 = Ambulatory without limitation of activity, 2 = Ambulatory with limitation of activity, 3 = Hospitalized mild disease, no oxygen, 4 = Hospitalized mild disease, supplemental oxygen, 5 = Hospitalized severe disease, non-invasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen, 6 = Hospitalized severe disease, intubation and mechanical ventilation, 7 = Hospitalized severe disease, ventilation plus additional organ support, 8 = Death

    Measured: Day 5

  2. Clinical status using 8-point ordinal scale

    Efficacy measures for clinical improvement using 8-point ordinal scale: 0 = Uninfected, 1 = Ambulatory without limitation of activity, 2 = Ambulatory with limitation of activity, 3 = Hospitalized mild disease, no oxygen, 4 = Hospitalized mild disease, supplemental oxygen, 5 = Hospitalized severe disease, non-invasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen, 6 = Hospitalized severe disease, intubation and mechanical ventilation, 7 = Hospitalized severe disease, ventilation plus additional organ support, 8 = Death

    Measured: Day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ampion in people with Covid19, run by Ampio Pharmaceuticals. Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 9 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 21 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Incidence and severity of adverse events (time frame: Day 5). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04606784, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Mar 2022.
