Clinical Trial Summary

This is a placebo-controlled study to evaluate the addition of CAL02 to standard of care in treating hospitalized subjects diagnosed with severe community acquired bacterial pneumonia (SCABP) requiring critical care measures

Description:

Subjects diagnosed with SCABP and requiring critical care measures, will receive either 2 intravenous infusions of CAL02 (13.7 to 24 mg/kg bracketed dose by weight), administered 24-26 hours apart or 2 intravenous infusions of placebo. Additionally, all subjects will receive standard of care (SOC) therapy for SCABP, according to scientific guidelines. Critical care measures provide intensive and specialized medical and nursing care, a capacity for continuous monitoring 24 hours/day, and multiple modalities of physiologic organ support to sustain life in seriously/critically ill patients.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Efficacy- clinical recovery	To evaluate the effect of CAL02 administration on clinical recovery compared to placebo. The time (days) to clinical recovery will be measured, as defined by the day all disease severity criteria which led to SCABP diagnosis per protocol at randomization and any new severity criteria which occurred after randomization are resolved, and no repeat or additional severity criteria are met within 24 hours after clinical recovery.	28 days
Primary	Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events	To evaluate the safety and tolerability of CAL02 versus placebo. The number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events including IV infusion-related reactions, and the number of participants with study drug dosing interruptions and discontinuations will be measured.	28 days
Secondary	Critical Care Management	To evaluate the effect of CAL02 administration on the duration of critical care management compared to placebo. The time (days) participant remains in hospital critical care from randomization until discharge will be measured.	28 days
Secondary	Hospital Stay	To evaluate the effect of CAL02 administration on the duration of overall hospital stay compared to placebo. The time (days) participant remains in hospital from randomization until discharge will be measured.	28 days
Secondary	Early Clinical Recovery	To evaluate the effect of CAL02 administration on early clinical recovery (by Day 5) compared to placebo. The number of participants who achieve clinical recovery by Day 5 will be assessed; clinical recovery as defined by the day all disease severity criteria which led to SCABP diagnosis per protocol at randomization and any new severity criteria which occurred after randomization are resolved, and no repeat or additional severity criteria are met within 24 hours after clinical recovery.	5 days
Secondary	Organ Failure Assessment Scores	To evaluate the effects of CAL02 administration on Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores compared to placebo. The minimum total score is 0 and the maximum total score is 24. A higher total SOFA score indicates worse outcome.	7 days
