Brief summary

The main purpose of this phase-1b, multicenter, randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of bempegaldesleukin (BEMPEG; NKTR-214) in combination with standard of care (SOC) in adult patients with mild COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). The trial will also define the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of bempegaldesleukin in patients with mild COVID-19.

Data are reported by dose and arm for Day 8 compared to baseline.
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]Safety and tolerability were evaluated from baseline up to approximately 30 days.Safety and Tolerability of bempegaldesleukin (starting at dose 0.00075 mg/kg) in combination with SOC was evaluated by incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events of Any Grade, Grade 3-4, and Grade 5 (Death).
Number of Participants Experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)The DLT evaluation period was up to approximately 7 days following the bempegaldesleukin treatment.Dose finding for this study was based on the assessment of DLT of bempegaldesleukin dose levels. Number and percentage of patients with any DLT were summarized by bempegaldesleukin dose level in bempegaldesleukin plus SOC treatment groups \[0.00075 mg/kg, N=5; 0.0015 mg/kg, N=5; and 0.003 mg/kg, N=5\] and placebo plus SOC (N=15). Adverse events related to study drug(s) that were defined as DLTs included the following: * Any Grade ≥ 3 drug-related AE. * Any Grade ≥ 3 drug-related laboratory abnormality that was clinically significant per the Investigator. * Respiratory compromise or other virus-related AE attributed to worsening COVID-19, such as severe hypoxia, cyanosis, or chest pain/pressure. The event was considered a DLT if it was confirmed to be at least possibly related to study drug, met any of the above definitions, and was confirmed to have occurred in a patient treated with bempegaldesleukin.

Number and percentage of patients with any DLT were summarized by bempegaldesleukin dose level in bempegaldesleukin plus SOC treatment groups \[0.00075 mg/kg, N=5; 0.0015 mg/kg, N=5; and 0.003 mg/kg, N=5\] and placebo plus SOC (N=15). Adverse events related to study drug(s) that were defined as DLTs included the following: * Any Grade ≥ 3 drug-related AE. * Any Grade ≥ 3 drug-related laboratory abnormality that was clinically significant per the Investigator. * Respiratory compromise or other virus-related AE attributed to worsening COVID-19, such as severe hypoxia, cyanosis, or chest pain/pressure. The event was considered a DLT if it was confirmed to be at least possibly related to study drug, met any of the above definitions, and was confirmed to have occurred in a patient treated with bempegaldesleukin.

Time frame: The DLT evaluation period was up to approximately 7 days following the bempegaldesleukin treatment.
