Study Type | Interventional |
---|---|
Study Design | Allocation: Randomized; Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment; Masking: Double (Participant, Outcomes Assessor); Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Condition |
Covid19 |
Interventions |
Drug: rNAPc2 Drug: Heparin |
Enrollment | 160 |
Recruitment Details | Eligible participants were men and women (18 to 90 years) with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis requiring inpatient medical care and an elevated D-dimer level at screening. Enrollment began DEC2020 with the last assessment in MAR2022. 160 participants were enrolled at 15 clinical sites in Argentina, Brazil, and the United States. Originally designed as a sequential Phase 2B/3, the Ph2B top line results dictated substantial design changes for progression to Ph3 and the study was concluded at Ph2. |
Pre-assignment Details | All study participants provided informed consent for study participation. Eligible participants were randomized (1:1:2) to receive treatment (i.e., rNAPc2 [1 of 2 dose regimens] or heparin). Randomization was centralized and stratified by local laboratory D-dimer level at screening. Study participants and endpoint assessors were blinded to treatment assignment. |

Overall Number of Baseline Participants | 40 | 40 | 80 | 160 | |
Baseline Analysis Population Description |
The study was designed as a sequential Phase 2B/3 trial whereby both trial phases were nested in a common protocol. When the 2B top line results dictated substantial design changes for progression to Phase 3 the study was concluded as a Phase 2 trial.
