Overview

The AGILE platform master protocol allows incorporation of a range of identified and yet-to-be-identified candidates as potential treatments for adults with COVID-19 into the trial. Candidates will be added into the trial via candidate-specific trial (CST) protocols of this master protocol as appendices. Having one master protocol ensures different candidates are evaluated in the same consistent manor and opening up new trials for new candidates is more efficient. Inclusion of new candidates will be based on pre-clinical data, evidence in the clinical setting and GMP capabilities.

Eligibility

Master Protocol Inclusion Criteria:

1. Adults (≥18 years) with laboratory-confirmed* SARS-CoV-2 infection (PCR)
2. Ability to provide informed consent signed by study patient or legally acceptable representative
3. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and male patients who are sexually active with WOCBP must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception (as outlined in the protocol) from the first administration of trial treatment, throughout trial treatment and for the duration outlined in the candidate-specific trial protocol after the last dose of trial treatment
   • If any CSTs are included in the community setting, the CST protocol will clarify whether patients with suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection are also eligible.

Standard additional criteria that may be applied per CST protocol:

Group A (severe disease) 4a. Patients with clinical status of Grades 4 (hospitalised, oxygen by mask or nasal prongs), 5 (hospitalised, on non-invasive ventilation, or high flow oxygen), 6 (hospitalised, intubation and mechanical ventilation) or 7 (ventilation and additional organ support - pressors, renal replacement therapy (RRT), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)), as defined by the WHO clinical severity score, 9-point ordinal scale.

Group B (mild-moderate disease) 4b. Ambulant or hospitalised patients with the following characteristics peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) >94% RA N.B. The CST protocol inclusion criteria will take precedence over the master protocol inclusion criteria.

CST-2 Inclusion Criteria:

For the purpose of the EIDD-2801 candidate-specific trial the following inclusion criteria have been amended from the Master protocol to:

1. Male or female ≥ 60 years old or ≥50 years old with at least one well controlled comorbidity: cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease (e.g. COPD, or pulmonary hypertension), immune deficiency (taking the equivalent of 20 mg prednisone daily, chemotherapy, or immune modulating biologic therapies), diabetes (treated with insulin or oral medications), BMI≥30, or hypertension requiring medication with laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (PCR) .
