Ended Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III) COVID-19

Outpatient Treatment with Anti-Coronavirus Immunoglobulin (OTAC)

EU CTIS ID: 2023-508105-24-00

What this study is testing

Among outpatients with recently diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infection to compare the safety and efficacy of a single infusion of hyperimmune immunoglobulin (hIVIG) versus placebo, each given with standard of care (SOC), on clinical status after seven days. Two hypotheses will be tested to address this primary objective, which compares the primary endpoint among two study populations: 1) participants where a direct-acting antiviral (DAA) or other anti-SARS-CoV-2 agent was not prescribed as part of SOC treatment (stratum 1, see Section 6.1); and 2) all randomized participants (stratum 1 and stratum 2 combined). Stratum 2 is defined by prescribed treatments in SOC that include: DAA or other anti-SARS-CoV2 agents that are recommended for use by established national or international COVID-19 treatment guidelines. The hIVIG treatment will be considered superior to placebo if either of the two hypotheses are rejected.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Clinical risk based on age ≥ 55 years or an adult (age ≥ 18 years) with an immunosuppressed condition.
  • Positive test for SARS-CoV-2 within ≤5 days (if >1 test, the first positive is within ≤5 days). Tests may include an institutional-based nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), or any protocol-approved rapid test.
  • Within ≤5 days from symptom onset, if symptomatic from current SARS-CoV-2 infection.
  • Agrees to not participate in another clinical trial for the treatment or management of SARS-CoV-2 infection through Day 7, or until hospitalized or significant disease progression if prior to Day 7 (defined by ordinal category 4 or 5).
  • Participant provides written informed consent prior to study procedures and understands and agrees to adhere to planned study procedures through Day 28.

You likely can't join if

  • Asymptomatic and had prior symptoms from the current infection that have now resolved (for >24 hours).
  • In the opinion of the investigator, any condition for which participation would not be in the best interest of the participant or that could prevent or confound protocol assessments.
  • Asymptomatic and has received a vaccination for COVID-19 (≥1 dose).
  • Undergoing evaluation for possible admission to hospital for medical management (this does not include evaluation of possible hospitalization for public health purposes).
  • Evidence of pneumonia and/or hypoxia due to COVID-19 (NOTE: chest imaging is not required, but if available it should not show new infiltrates suggestive of pneumonia; hypoxia is defined by new oxygen supplementation or increase above pre-illness level).
  • Prior receipt of immunoglobulin product or passive immune therapy for SARS-CoV-2 in the past 90 days (i.e., convalescent plasma, SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies, or any IVIG).
