Study summary

The innovative drug Treamid is planned for use in the treatment of patients with persistent lung damage and reduced exercise tolerance exertion after COVID-19 pneumonia in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIb/III clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of Treamid during a 28-day treatment.

The primary objective of the study is to prove that in the Treamid group, the proportion of patients achieving clinically significant load tolerance is statistically significantly higher than in the placebo group.

The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of Treamid and achievement of clinically significant improvements in indicators for various questionnaires and spirometry data.

Read the detailed description

14-18 Russian centers are planned for participation in this study. The study consists of three periods: screening (2 weeks), treatment period (4 weeks) and follow-up period (4 weeks after completion of treatment with Treamid / Placebo).

412 patients with persistent lung damage and reduced exercise tolerance exertion after COVID-19 pneumonia are planned to be randomized.

Patients will be evaluated using the Modified British Medical Research Council (mMRC), six-minute walk test (6-MWT), Borg scale for dyspnea and fatigue, Dyspnea scale Index (BDI and TDI), KBILD questionnaire, EQ-5D-3L questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS), Clinical Global Impression rating scales (CGI-I and CGI-S), chest computed tomography (CT), spirometry and body plethysmography with determination of DLCO.

All eligible patients will be randomized into 4 groups of 103 patients each in a 1:1:1:1 ratio: Treamid 25 mg in the morning and Placebo in the evening daily, Treamid 25 mg in the morning and Treamid 25 mg in the evening daily, Treamid 50 mg in the morning and Placebo in the evening daily, Placebo in the morning and Placebo in the evening daily. Patients will visit the study center at the Week 1, Week 2, Week 4 of treatment period and at the end of the follow up period. During all visits will be evaluated Adverse events (AEs), concomitant therapy, investigational drug registration, body weight, vital signs and Oxygen saturation (SpO2) scores. 6-MWT, Borg scale for dyspnea and fatigue, Dyspnea scale Index (TDI), KBILD questionnaire and MFIS will be also evaluated.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(16)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
