Receipt of systemic steroids or inhaled steroids within 30 days prior to study entry unless used for a chronic condition For the complete list, please refer to protocol.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of treatment with temelimab plus local standard of care (SoC) treatments versus local SoC alone over 6 months on improvement in cognitive impairment or fatigue in PASC patients.;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of treatment with temelimab plus local SoC treatment versus local SoC alone over 6 months on measures of cognition, fatigue, anxiety, depression, functional impairment/disability, and quality of life in PASC patients • To evaluate safety and tolerability of temelimab in PASC patients.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the occurrence of an improvement in cognitive impairment, measured by an increase of =0.5 z-scores in the Token Motor Test, or in fatigue, measured by a decrease of =3 points in the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Fatigue Short Form 7a (PROMIS Fatigue SF 7a) score, at Week 24 as compared to baseline.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 24 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Change from baseline to Week 24 in: o Severity of fatigue as measured by the PROMIS Fatigue SF 7a score o 5 domain scores (verbal memory and learning [verbal memory test], working memory [digit sequencing test], psychomotor coordination [Token Motor Test], verbal fluency [semantic and letter fluency], and executive function [Tower of London]) as measured by BAC tests o Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) score o Cognitive functions as measured by the composite score of the BAC excluding the symbol coding test o Subjective cognitive function as measured by the Perceived Deficits Questionnaire, 20 Items (PDQ-20) o Severity of anxiety as measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder, 7 Items (GAD 7) o Severity of depression as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire, 9 Items (PHQ-9). o Overall quality of life as measured by the European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions, 5 Levels (EQ5D-5L) o Level of functional impairment as measured by the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) o Post-COVID-19 Functional Status Scale (PCFS) • Safety (serious AEs [SAEs], AEs, physical signs, clinical laboratory values).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 24 | — |
