Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of repurposed medications (study drug(s) in reducing symptoms of non-hospitalized participants with mild to moderate COVID-19. Participants will receive either study drug or placebo. They will self-report any new or worsening symptoms or medical events they may experience while taking study drug or placebo. This study is intended to be all remote with no in person visits, unless the study team feels it is in the best interest of a participant to see them in person. Prior and current drug arms are listed on clinicaltrials.gov and will be updated with the activation of any new drug arms. This protocol was originally registered under NCT04885530. Per recent guidance on reporting master protocol research programs (MPRPs), a separate record for Arm C was created.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Completed Informed Consent - Age ≥ 30 years old - Confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection by any authorized or approved polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or antigen test collected within 10 days of screening - Two or more current symptoms of acute infection for ≤7 days. Symptoms include the following: fatigue, dyspnea, fever, cough, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, body aches, chills, headache, sore throat, nasal symptoms, new loss of sense of taste or smell

Exclusion Criteria

  • Prior diagnosis of COVID-19 infection (> 10 days from screening) - Current or recent (within 10 days of screening) hospitalization - Current use of study drug or study drug/device combination* - Known allergy/sensitivity or any hypersensitivity to components of the study drug or placebo* - Known contraindication(s) to study drug including prohibited concomitant medications* [*If only one study drug appendix is open at the time of enrollment. If multiple study drug appendices are open, a participant may opt-out of any study drug appendix or be excluded from any study drug appendix based on contraindications listed in the study drug appendix, current use of study drug, or known allergy/sensitivity/hypersensitivity and still remain eligible for the remaining study drug appendices.] Arm-specific exclusion criteria - Severe hypersensitivity to milk proteins - Currently prescribed or use within 30 days of inhaled or systemic steroids - Moderate to severe hepatic impairment, defined as Child-Pugh B or C - Nursing mothers - Pregnancy

Arm Groups

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Experimental
Arm C - Fluticasone 		Fluticasone is a self-administered inhaled drug. Participants will self-administer 200 µg (1 blister) of fluticasone once daily for 14 days. After inhaler activation, the powder within the blister is exposed and the participant inhales the study drug through the mouthpiece.
  • Drug: Fluticasone
    Fluticasone furoate is an inhaled powder drug product composed of fluticasone furoate. It is a synthetic trifluorinated corticosteroid that is insoluble in water. Fluticasone furoate is a white powder and will be provided in a two tone grey inhaler with a mouthpiece cover and separate foil blister strips. The inhaler will be packaged in a moisture-protective foil tray with a desiccant and a peelable lid.All packaging will be labeled to indicate that the product is for investigational use. Participants will self-administer 200 µg (1 blister) of fluticasone furoate once daily for 14 days.
    Other names:
    • Fluticasone Furoate
Placebo Comparator
Arm C - Placebo 		Placebo is a self-administered inhaled agent. Participants will self-administer 1 blister of placebo once daily for 14 days. After inhaler activation, the powder within the blister is exposed and the participant inhales the placebo through the mouthpiece.
  • Other: Placebo
    Each study arm will contain a placebo comparator. Placebo will look similar to study drug and will be administered via the same route of administration and dose. However, placebo will be an inactive substance, containing no study drug.

Detailed Description

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel betacoronavirus that first emerged in December 2019 and has since caused a global pandemic unseen in almost a century with respect to the number of cases and overall mortality. The clinical disease related to SARS-CoV-2 is referred to as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Over 2020, advances were made for treatment of COVID-19 and several vaccinations have received emergency use authorization for prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infections. However, the pandemic continues to evolve with new variants and surges of infections in different regions of the world, requiring an ongoing evidence-generating platform, in particular for the treatment of COVID-19 infection in the outpatient setting. This proposed platform protocol can serve as an evidence generating system for prioritized drugs repurposed from other indications with an established safety record and preliminary evidence of clinical efficacy for the treatment of COVID-19. The ultimate goal is to evaluate if repurposed medications can make participants feel better faster and reduce death and hospitalization. This platform protocol is designed to be flexible so that it is suitable for a wide range of settings within healthcare systems and in community settings where it can be integrated into routine COVID-19 testing programs and subsequent treatment plans. This platform protocol will enroll participants in an outpatient setting with a confirmed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or antigen test for SARS-CoV-2. Participants will be randomized to study drugs or placebo based on the arms that are actively enrolling at the time of randomization. Study drugs may be added or removed according to adaptive design and/or emerging evidence. When there are multiple study drugs available, randomization will occur based on appropriateness of each drug for the participant as determined by the study protocol and investigator and participant equipoise. Each participant will be required to randomize to at least one study drug versus placebo. Eligible participants will be randomized in a blinded fashion, to either the study drug arm or placebo arm in addition to standard of care. Participants will receive a complete supply study drug or placebo with the quantity depending on the study drug/placebo to which they are randomized. The randomization will be altered to leverage placebo data across arms, and data will be analyzed by shared placebo. All study visits are designed to be remote. However, screening and enrollment may occur in-person at sites and unplanned study visits may occur in-person or remotely, as deemed appropriate by the site investigator for safety purposes. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires and report safety events during the study. Participants will be prompted by the online system to report safety events and these will be reviewed and confirmed via medical records and site staff, as necessary.

Notice

Study information shown on this site is derived from ClinicalTrials.gov (a public registry operated by the National Institutes of Health). The listing of studies provided is not certain to be all studies for which you might be eligible. Furthermore, study eligibility requirements can be difficult to understand and may change over time, so it is wise to speak with your medical care provider and individual research study teams when making decisions related to participation.
