Study summary

The study is designed as an open observational non-comparative study of Polyoxidonium®, lyophilizate for solution for injections and topical application, 12 mg in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Read the detailed description

The study was planned as an observation of Polyoxidonium® administered in addition to Russian Ministry of Healthcare (MoH) guidance for standard COVID-19 treatment. Regimens have no limitations to the use of concomitant therapy. The aim of the study is to observe the safety and efficacy of Polyoxidonium®, lyophilizate for solution for injections, 12 mg in addition to complex treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

    Patients eligible for enrollment into the study

    Drug: Polyoxidonium

Interventions

  • DrugPolyoxidonium

    Polyoxidonium (azoximer bromide) is administered in the dose of 12 mg (contents of 2 vials) once daily intravenously (IV) for 3 days, then every other day intramuscularly (IM) on days 5-17 (the total treatment course is 10 injections)

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Clinical Status of the Patient (According to 7-point Ordinal Scale)

    Subject clinical status using the 7-point Ordinal Scale, specified as the primary endpoint in the WHO Master Protocol on day 15 as compared to baseline (1 - Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities; 2 - Not hospitalized, limitation on activities; 3 - Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen; 4 - Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 5 - Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; 6 - Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; 7 - Death).

    Time frame: Day 1 (Baseline), Day 15

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to Improvement in Clinical Status of the Patient (According to Ordinal Scale) by 1 Point for Each OS Score

    Ordinal scale (OS) score status, time to improvement by 1 point for each OS score. Subject clinical status using the 7-point Ordinal Scale: 1. - Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities; 2. - Not hospitalized, limitation on activities; 3. - Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen; 4. - Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 5. - Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; 6. - Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; 7. - Death.

    Time frame: Days 1 - 29.

  2. Clinical Status of the Patient (According to National Early Warning Score (NEWS Scale))

    NEWS scale score status, time to a discharge from a hospital or to a NEWS of ≤ 2 and maintained for 24 hours, whichever occurs first. NEWS score is based on 7 clinical parameters: respiration rate, oxygen saturation, supplemental oxygen, systolic blood pressure, pulse rate, level of consciousness, temperature. A score of 0, 1, 2, 3 is allocated to each parameter except supplemental oxygen (a score 0 or 1 is allocated) and level of consciousness (a score 0 or 3 is allocated). A higher score means the parameter is further from the normal range. All scores were summed to get an aggregate score. Aggregate score ranges from 0 to 19, with higher scores meaning higher risk. Low risk - aggregate score, 1-4 Low to medium risk - score 3 in any single parameter, Medium risk - aggregate score 5-6, High risk - aggregate score 7-19.

    Time frame: Days 1 - 29.

  3. Number of Patients Requiring Supplementary Oxygen

    Number of patients requiring supplementary oxygen on Days 3, 5, 8, 11, 15, 29

    Time frame: Days intervals 1 (baseline), 3, 5, 8, 11, 15, 29.

  4. Hospitalisation Duration

    Duration of hospitalisation

    Time frame: Days 1 - 29

  5. Mortality

    Number of participants who were dead or alive (Days 1 - 29)

    Time frame: Days 1 - 29.

  6. The Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events

    The number of participants with serious adverse events (SAE)

    Time frame: Days 1 - 29.

  7. The Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    The number of participants with adverse events (AE)

    Time frame: Days 1 - 29.

  8. Number of Participants With Discontinuation of Drug Administration

    Number of participants with Permanent or temporary discontinuation of infusions or injections due to adverse events

    Time frame: Days 1 - 17.

Results

Posted Dec 3, 2020
Limitations and caveats
There was no control or comparison group, polyoxidonium was used in the treatment of all patients, it is not possible to compare the results of treatment of patients with and without Polyoxidonium. The study used various treatment regimens for COVID-19 (antiviral agents, antimalarial agents, anticoagulants), depending on the base of the study, so it is impossible to fully determine whether these agents influenced the effectiveness of Polyoxidonium.
