Covid19
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous (IV) infusion of Ang (1-7) compared to placebo with respect to time to recovery, disease severity, need for mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and mortality in patients with COVID 19.
Interventions
Ang (1-7) administered by continuous intravenous (IV) infusion
Placebo (normal saline) administered by continuous intravenous (IV) infusion

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Signs and symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 infection including cough or dyspnea * Laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection as determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test ≤7 days before randomization * Currently hospitalized or in an emergency department with planned hospitalization * Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≤93% on room air or partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) \<300 at Screening
Exclusion criteria
* Simultaneous participation in any other clinical study incompatible with this one * Treatment with an antibody immunotherapy that is not standard of care for COVID-19 within 4 weeks of Screening * Requirement for mechanical ventilation or ECMO at Screening * Hypotension at Screening, defined as supine BP \<95 mm Hg systolic or \<55 mm Hg diastolic * Severe liver injury defined as AST or ALT ≥5x the upper limit of normal * Severe kidney failure defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<30 mL/min * Any known immune deficiency * Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Time to recovery | Up to 29 days | Time to recovery, defined as attaining a score of 6, 7, or 8 on the COVID-19 disease severity scale, an 8 point ordinal scale used in the NIH Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial (ACTT; NCT04280705). 1. = Death; 2. = Hospitalized and on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); 3. = Hospitalized and on non-invasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen devices; 4. = Hospitalized and requiring supplemental oxygen; 5. = Hospitalized and not requiring supplemental oxygen but requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19-related or otherwise); 6. = Hospitalized and not requiring supplemental oxygen and no longer requiring ongoing medical care; 7. = Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen; 8. = Not hospitalized, no limitation on activities |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of days alive and not on mechanical ventilator or ECMO in the 28 days following first dose | Up to 29 days | — |
| Number of participants requiring mechanical ventilation or ECMO, or dying, through Day 29 | Up to 29 days | — |
| COVID-19 disease severity scale score on Day 8 | Day 8 | COVID-19 disease severity scale (range; 1-8, higher scores correspond to better health state). |
| Incidence of mortality at Day 29 | 29 days | — |
| COVID-19 disease severity scale score on Day 22 | Day 22 | COVID-19 disease severity scale (range; 1-8, higher scores correspond to better health state). |
| COVID-19 disease severity scale score on Day 29 | Day 29 | COVID-19 disease severity scale (range; 1-8, higher scores correspond to better health state). |
| COVID-19 disease severity scale score on Day 15 | Day 15 | COVID-19 disease severity scale (range; 1-8, higher scores correspond to better health state). |
