Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of treatment with clazakizumab compared to a placebo (inactive substance). We are proposing to try this drug to treat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Patients with COVID-19 infection have been shown to have increases in certain inflammatory processes. Clazakizumab is an antibody (immune system protein) that blocks certain inflammatory processes. The treatment plan is to attempt to inhibit or block these inflammatory processes in order to try to limit the damage COVID-19 causes to the lungs.


Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of clazakizumab vs placebo for the prevention of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with COVID-19 and pulmonary manifestations. The study will compare clazakizumab to placebo in a randomized, double-blind fashion followed by an open-label dose of clazakizumab if there is no improvement or a worsening of condition occurs after 24-hours or anytime during the first 14 days after the first dose of clazakizumab or placebo. We hypothesize that clazakizumab will be safely tolerated and will reduce the risk of progression of COVID-19 to acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Primary Objective:

• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of clazakizumab vs placebo for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 disease and signs of pulmonary involvement

Sixty adult patients with COVID-19 and signs of pulmonary involvement at Houston Methodist who are not in need of ventilator support at the time of enrollment. ;
