Inpatient Treatment of COVID-19 With Anti-Coronavirus Immunoglobulin (ITAC)
Purpose
This protocol will serve as a platform for assessing treatments for adult patients hospitalized for medical management of COVID-19 without related serious end-organ failure. Trials will involve sites around the world strategically chosen to ensure rapid enrollment. This trial will compare hyperimmune intravenous immunoglobulin (hIVIG) with matched placebo, when added to standard of care (SOC), for preventing further disease progression and mortality related to COVID-19. SOC will include remdesivir unless it is contraindicated for an individual patient.

Inclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria

Acute coronary syndromes, cerebrovascular syndromes and pulmonary or deep venous thrombosis within 28 days of randomization 2. History of prothrombin gene mutation 20210, homozygous Factor V Leiden mutations, antithrombin III deficiency, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency or antiphospholipid syndrome - Any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the subject or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments

Detailed Description
The primary endpoint of this trial in hospitalized patients is an ordinal outcome based on the patient's clinical status on Day 7. It includes 7 mutually exclusive categories capturing the range of organ dysfunction that may be associated with progression of COVID-19, such as respiratory dysfunction and coagulation-related complications. The ordinal endpoint is defined as follows: 7. Death 6. End-organ failure 5. Life-threatening end-organ dysfunction 4. Serious end-organ dysfunction 3. Moderate end-organ dysfunction 2. Limiting symptoms due to COVID-19 1. No limiting symptoms due to COVID-19 Secondary endpoints include time to the 3 least favorable categories, time to the 2 most favorable categories, and the pulmonary only and thrombotic only components of the primary ordinal outcome. Mortality, adverse events (AEs), including infusion reactions, and biological correlates of therapeutic activity are also assessed. Because there is no established endpoint for evaluating the clinical efficacy of treatments for COVID-19, other clinically relevant outcomes, including outcomes used in other COVID-19 treatment trials, will be recorded. Thus, the randomized groups (hIVIG + SOC versus placebo + SOC ) can be compared for multiple outcomes, and results can be compared or combined with other trials. Participants will be randomized (1:1) to a single infusion of hIVIG + SOC or placebo + SOC on the day of randomization (Day 0). Participants taking remdesivir prior to randomization may be enrolled if eligibility criteria are met. Randomized participants who were not taking remdesivir before randomization will start taking remdesivir immediately following the infusion of hIVIG or placebo unless remdesivir is contraindicated. Participants will be followed for 28 days and, if the trial goes to completion, the primary analysis will be completed after all participants are followed for 28 days.
