Model description
Stage 1. Subjects without history of COVID-19 infection will be randomized in two treatment groups to receive different doses of BCD-250. After the last subject completes the 28 days of the main study period the safety and immunogenicity analysis will be performed. Based on these results the optimal BCD-250 dose will be selected by the Sponsor considering the Independent Data Monitoring Committee recommendations. Stage 2. Subjects without history of COVID-19 infection (Cohort 1) and with history of COVID-19 infection (Cohort 2) will be randomized to receive either selected dose of BCD-250 or placebo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Low dose BCD-250 injection, High dose BCD-250 injection and Low dose or high dose BCD-250 injection in people with Coronavirus Infection and COVID-19, run by Biocad at 2 sites in Russia.

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 12 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 30 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Russia. 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 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.

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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Sponsor's decision). Results are not available in the source record.

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 subjects with ≥ 4 fold rise of serum SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG titer from baseline (time frame: Day 56 after the study drug administration). 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 30 Jan 2023.
