Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pneumonia Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Phase 3 Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study of Lenzilumab in Hospitalized Patients With Severe and Critical COVID-19 Pneumonia
The primary objective of this study is to assess whether the use of lenzilumab in addition to current standard of care can alleviate the immune-mediated cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and improve ventilator-free survival in hospitalized subjects with severe or critical COVID-19 pneumonia.
In COVID-19, high levels of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and inflammatory myeloid cells correlate with disease severity, cytokine storm, and respiratory failure. The mortality rate for hospitalized COVID-19 patients remains unacceptably high, particularly in patients who progress to invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). This randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled pivotal phase 3 trial will evaluate the impact of lenzilumab (anti-human GM-CSF monoclonal antibody) on ventilator-free survival in hospitalized, hypoxic patients with COVID-19. The study is also designed to evaluate other key endpoints, including ventilator-free days, duration of ICU stay, incidence of IMV, ECMO and/or death, time to death, all-cause mortality and time to recovery. Approximately 516 patients will be randomized to receive lenzilumab + SOC vs. placebo + SOC in a 1:1 ratio. ;
