Brief summary

AZD3152, a single mAb, is being developed to have broad neutralizing activity across known SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern for pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19. The aim of the Phase I/III study (Parent Study) will be to evaluate the safety, efficacy and neutralizing activity of AZD3152 compared with comparator for pre exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19, and separately evaluate the safety and PK of AZD5156, a combination of AZD3152 and AZD1061. Sub-study: This Phase II sub-study of SUPERNOVA will assess the safety, PK, and predicted neutralizing activity of AZD3152 compared with EVUSHELD for pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19.

Detailed description

In the Parent study, the Phase I Sentinel Safety Cohort will assess the safety of AZD5156 (a combination of 2 mAbs, AZD1061 \[cilgavimab, a component of AZD7442 (EVUSHELD)\] and AZD3152) in healthy adults and the Phase III Main Cohort will assess the safety, efficacy, PK, and neutralizing activity of two doses of AZD3152 compared with two doses of comparator given at a 6-month interval in adults and adolescents 12 years of age or older (weighing at least 40 kg) with conditions causing immune impairment, who are less likely to mount an adequate protective immune response after vaccination and thus are at higher risk of developing severe COVID-19 in 18 countries. Sub-study: This Phase II sub-study of SUPERNOVA is operating in USA only, and it will assess the safety, PK, and predicted neutralizing activity of AZD3152 in adults 18 years of age or older (weighing at least 40 kg) with conditions causing immune impairment who are less likely to mount an adequate protective immune response after vaccination as well as individuals who are immunocompetent (including healthy participants) with all degrees of SARS-CoV-2 infection risk.

Masking description

For the Sentinel Safety Cohort and Main Cohort, neither the participant nor any of the Investigators or Sponsor staff who are involved in the treatment or clinical evaluation and monitoring of the participants will be aware of the study intervention received. Since AZD5156, AZD3152, and placebo are visually distinct prior to dose preparation (due to differences in vial volumes and container closure), study intervention will be handled by an unblinded pharmacist and administered by an unblinded administrator (or designee, in accordance with local and institutional regulations) at the study site who will be independent of safety evaluations and other trial evaluations. Personnel preparing and administering study intervention may be the same individual. Syringe masking will be required in order to maintain the blind.

Intervention model description

D7000C00001 is a Phase I/III study (Parent study) being conducted in conjunction with a Phase II sub study that will be conducted in approximately 3706 participants (approximately 3256 in the Parent study and 450 in the sub study) to evaluate the safety, efficacy, PK, and neutralizing activity of AZD3152 compared with comparator for pre exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19, and separately evaluate the safety and PK of AZD5156, a combination of AZD3152 and AZD1061. The Parent study will consist of 2 cohorts: a Sentinel Safety Cohort and a Main Cohort. The Sentinel Safety Cohort will compare AZD5156 with placebo, while the Main Cohort will compare AZD3152 with placebo. The sub-study will have an initial Sentinel Safety Cohort that will include 12 healthy volunteers; all other participants in the study will be either immunocompromised or immunocompetent with all degrees of SARS-CoV-2 infection risk. Participants will be randomized 2:1 to receive AZD3152 or AZD7442 (EVUSHELD).
