Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine if a high dose of IVIG plus SMT can reduce all-cause mortality versus SMT alone in hospitalized participants with COVID-19 requiring admission to the ICU through Day 29.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: GAMUNEX-C + Standard Medical Treatment

Participants will receive the first intravenous (IV) infusion of GAMUNEX-C on Day 1 up to a total net dose of 2 grams per kilogram (g/kg), based on participant's body weight (maximum dose = 160 g for participants over 80 kg), administered in divided doses as infusions of 500 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), based upon participant's body weight, over 4 days or 400 mg/kg, based upon participant's body weight, over 5 days. Participants will also receive all standard of care interventions while hospitalized, from Day 1 to Day 29.

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    18 Years and Older
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    All
    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
    No
    Inclusion Criteria:
    • Hospitalized male or female subjects of ≥ 18 years of age at time of Screening who are being treated in the ICU for COVID-19 for not longer than 48 hours or for whom a decision has been made that COVID-19 disease severity warrants ICU admission.

    • Has laboratory-confirmed novel coronavirus infection as determined by qualitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (reverse transcriptase [RT]-PCR), or other United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved diagnostic assay for COVID-19 in any specimen during the current hospital admission prior to randomization.

    • Illness (symptoms of COVID-19 of any duration requiring ICU level care), and the following:

    1. Radiographic infiltrates by imaging (chest X-Ray, computerized tomography (CT) scan, etc.), and

    2. Requiring mechanical ventilation and/or supplemental oxygen.

    • Any one of the following related to COVID-19: i. Ferritin > 400 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL), ii. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) > 300 units per liter (U/L), iii. D-Dimers > reference range, or iv. C-reactive protein (CRP) > 40 milligram per liter (mg/L).

    • Subject provides informed consent prior to initiation of any study procedures.

    Exclusion Criteria:
    • Clinical evidence of any significant acute or chronic disease or pathophysiologic manifestations (eg, complications of COVID-19 standard medical treatments) that, in the opinion of the investigator, may place the subject at undue medical risk.

    • The subject has had a known (documented) serious anaphylactic reaction to blood, any blood-derived or plasma product or a past history of any hypersensitivity reactions to commercial immunoglobulin.

    • A medical condition in which the infusion of additional fluid is contraindicated.

    • Shock that is unresponsive to fluid challenge and/or multiple vasopressors and accompanied by multiorgan failure considered by the Principal Investigator not able to be reversed.

    • Subjects with known (documented) thrombotic complications to polyclonal IVIG therapy in the past.

    • Subjects with current or prior myocardial infarction, stroke, deep vein thrombosis, or thromboembolic event (within the past 12 months) or who have a history of thromboembolic events of unknown etiology.

    • Subjects with limitations of therapeutic effort.

    • Female subjects who are pregnant or of child-bearing potential with a positive test for pregnancy blood or urine human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)-based assay at Screening/Baseline.

    • Subjects participating in another interventional clinical trial with investigational medical product or device.

    • Known history of prothrombin gene mutation 20210, homozygous Factor V Leiden mutations, antithrombin III deficiency, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency or antiphospholipid syndrome.

    • Presence of malignancy (either new diagnosis of malignancy or known residual disease) within the past 12 months.

    • Creatinine at Screening is ≥ 4 mg/dL (or subject is dependent on dialysis/renal replacement therapy).

    • Known Immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency with anti-IgA serum antibodies.

    • Uncontrolled hypertension at the time of Screening (systolic blood pressure > 200 mm Hg) or refractory severe hypotension with sustained systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg unresponsive to vasopressors.
