Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine the effect of AZD1656 on the cardiorespiratory complications of COVID-19 in hospitalised diabetic patients with known or suspected COVID-19 disease, as measured using the WHO 8-point Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement compared to placebo.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives of this study are: • To assess the extent to which AZD1656 supports maintenance of adequate glycaemic control in hospitalised diabetic patients with known or suspected COVID-19. • To assess the safety and tolerability of AZD1656 in the management of diabetes in hospitalised diabetic patients with known or suspected COVID-19. • To determine whether AZD1656 affects duration of hospital stay, requirement for mechanical ventilation or mortality in diabetic patients with known or suspected COVID-19.;Primary end point(s): Clinical Improvement measured as the percentage of subjects at Day 14 who are in categories 1-3 according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 8-point Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement, comparing AZD1656 treatment to placebo.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Please refer to protocol for details.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Clinical Improvement measured as the percentage of patients categorised at each severity rating on the WHO 8-point Ordinal Scale at Day 7, Day 14 and Day 21 versus baseline, comparing AZD1656 treatment with placebo. • Degree of glycaemic control as measured by the need to increase baseline medication requirements or the need to add additional diabetic medications to maintain appropriate blood glucose levels in patients receiving AZD1656 compared with placebo. • Proportion of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) leading to study drug discontinuation in patients receiving AZD1656 compared with placebo. • Proportion of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) in patients receiving AZD1656 compared with placebo. • Time from hospital admission to hospital discharge (in hours) in patients receiving AZD1656 compared with placebo. • Time from hospital admission to receiving intubation/mechanical ventilation in patients receiving AZD1656 compared with placebo. • Mortality Rate in patients receiving AZD1656 compared with placebo.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Please refer to protocol for details.
