COVID
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this adaptive trial is to determine the clinical efficacy of Ifenprodil in the treatment of patients infected with COVID-19. This Protocol is largely based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) R&D Blueprint Clinical Trials Expert Group COVID-19 Therapeutic Trial Synopsis, and associated Master Protocol. The choice of the primary outcome measure will be determined by a pilot study of the first 150 subjects. Subject clinical status (on a 7-point ordinal scale) at day 15 in treatment versus the control group is the default primary endpoint.
Detailed description
NP-120 (Ifenprodil) is an N-methyl-D-Aspartate (NDMA) inhibitor that is specific for the NR2B subunit of the NMDA Receptor. The NMDA receptor, and specifically the NR2B subunit, is involved in glutamate signaling, and is expressed on both neutrophils and T cells. In the case of neutrophils, activation of the NMDA receptor can (1) result in expression of CD11b which targets neutrophils via ICAM-1 to areas of inflammation, and (2) trigger the autocrine release of glutamate. In the case of T-cells, activation of T cells via glutamate can cause (1) T cell proliferation and, (2) the release of cytokines. The activation of T cells and cytokine release can be blocked in vitro by the addition of Ifenprodil. As such it could be a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Ifenprodil was discovered by a genome wide RNAi assay to uncover gene targets associated with cytoprotective activity against highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza, specifically by preserving cell viability in vitro. When tested in a murine model of H5N1, the drug at clinically relevant doses: (1) improved survivability from 0% at day 6 to 40% day 14 post-infection, (2) the drug significantly reduced edema and lung injury score and (3) reduced infiltrating T cells, neutrophils and NK cells and attenuated the 'cytokine storm'. The mortality rate of H5N1 in humans is \>50%, whereas the mortality rate of COVID-19 infected patients is \< 5%, and both viruses cause acute lung injury and share similar pulmonary pathologies. NP-120 has also been shown to mediate anti-inflammatory responses and reduce pulmonary fibrosis in a murine model of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a complication which can occur after a respiratory virus infection. Based on the fact that H5N1 has a significantly higher mortality rate than COVID-19 but still shares similar lung pathologies, Algernon Pharmaceuticals believes Ifenprodil could reduce lung injury associated with COVID-19 infection, thereby improving lung function and accelerating patient recovery. The purpose of this Phase 2b/3 trial is to determine the safety and efficacy of NP-120 in the treatment of COVID-19 infection.

Time to Return to Room Pressure (SpO2 > 94%) on Room Air
Time to return to room pressure (SpO2 \> 94%) on room air in patients in 20, 40 mg TID NP-120 groups versus control group with 94% blood oxygen levels at enrolment Time-to-event endpoints with competing risk were analysed for each dosing group using the Cumulative Incidence Function-CIF (KM) graphical display. Data represents the time (in Days) it took for all participants in the group to return to room pressure air (e.g. the time when the CIF curve hit 100%).
Time frame: Up to Day 29
