Clinical Trial Summary

This is an open-label, multicentre study evaluating the effect, safety and tolerability of the two regioisomers 1-(nitrosooxy)propan-2-ol and 2-(nitrosooxy)propan-1-ol (PDNO) infusion given to COVID-19 patients with acute pulmonary hypertension (aPH) and/or acute cor pulmonale (ACP).

Intervention

Drug:
• Sodium chloride (placebo)
Placebo (NaCl, commercially available dilution solution for parenteral use, 9 mg/mL)
• PDNO
PDNO consists of propylene glycol (1,2-propanediol, PD) chemically combined with NO (to be donated). The drug substance is formulated as an inherent mixture of 4 structure analogues. The mixture consists of an equilibrium of the 2 regioisomers 1-(nitrosooxy) propan-2-ol and 2-(nitrosooxy) propan-1-ol. In addition, each regioisomer is a racemic mixture.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Levels of SARS-CoV-2 virus in plasma and sputum/tracheal secretion		From Day 1 to Day 2
Other	Collection of plasma for future analysis of biomarkers such as nitrite and nitrate in plasma (µM)		From Day 1 to Day 7
Primary	Change in MPAP and calculated PVR measured with PAC, at target dose after up-titration and 10 minutes after steady state.	Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), as measured with a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC).	During 24 hours
Secondary	Safety and tolerability of PDNO in patients with COVID-19, as measured by incidence of treatment-emergent AEs, SAEs, and AESI.	Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs); Treatment-emergent serious AEs (SAEs); Treatment-emergent AEs of special interest (AESI)	Through study completion (i.e., Day 30)
Secondary	Safety and tolerability of PDNO in patients with COVID-19, as measured by incidence of treatment-emergent changes in vital signs, ECG abnormalities, and laboratory abnormalities.	Treatment-emergent changes in vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, respiratory frequency, body temperature); Treatment-emergent electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities; Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities	From baseline until Day 7
Secondary	Number of participants with the following clinical outcome (dead, intubated at the intensive care unit [ICU], non-intubated at the ICU, discharged from ICU to other hospital care or discharged to home).		At Days 7, 14, 21, and 30.
Secondary	Time to obtain first negative upper respiratory tract sample in the SARS-CoV-2-rt-PCR assay		From Day 1 to Day 14
Secondary	Change in troponin I/T and BNP/NT-proBNP		From end of PDNO infusion to Day 7.
Secondary	Change in the ratio PVR/SVR	Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) will be calculated from the obtained values according to the following formulas: PVR= (mean pulmonary arterial pressure [MPAP] - pulmonary capillary wedge pressure [PCWP])/cardiac output (CO) SVR= (mean arterial pressure [MAP] - central venous pressure [CVP])/CO; Ratio of PVR to SVR = PVR/SVR	During 24 hours
