Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Evelo will investigate the safety and efficacy of EDP1815 in the treatment of patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study to assess the safety and efficacy of EDP1815 in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infection.

The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of EDP1815 at reducing time to resolution of symptoms, preventing progression of COVID-19 symptoms and preventing COVID-Related Complications (CRC)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in S/F Ratio [14 days]

    The effect of 1815 on the development and severity of complications of COVID-19 infection will be measured using change in S/F ratio at days 4, 7, 10 and 14/discharge day.

  2. Percentage change in S/F Ratio [14 days]

    The effect of 1815 on the development and severity of complications of COVID-19 infection will be measured using percentage change in S/F ratio at days 4, 7, 10 and 14/discharge day.

  3. Percentage of participants at each level on the WHO OSCI score [42 days]

    The effect of 1815 on the development and severity of complications of COVID-19 infection will be measured using percentage of participants at each level on the WHO OSCI score at days 4, 7, 14, 21 and 42

  4. Percentage of participants with shifts from each level of the WHO OSCI score at baseline [42 days]

    The effect of 1815 on the development and severity of complications of COVID-19 infection will be measured using percentage of participants with shifts from each level of the WHO OSCI score at baseline at days 4, 7, 14, 21 and 42

  5. Percentage of participants remaining at their baseline score on the WHO OSCI (or lower) [42 days]

    The effect of 1815 on the development and severity of complications of COVID-19 infection will be measured using percentage of participants remaining at their baseline score on the WHO OSCI (or lower) at days 4, 7, 14, 21 and 42

  6. Percentage of participants reporting each level of the WHO OSCI score at their worst post-baseline day [42 days]

    The effect of 1815 on the development and severity of complications of COVID-19 infection will be measured using percentage of participants reporting each level of the WHO OSCI score at their worst post-baseline day

  7. The time in days spent at each participant's worst reported WHO OSCI score (excluding death). [42 days]

    The effect of 1815 on the development and severity of complications of COVID-19 infection will be measured using the time in days spent at each participant's worst reported WHO OSCI score (excluding death).

  8. Intubation and mechanical-ventilation free survival [42 days]

    The effect of 1815 on the development and severity of complications of COVID-19 infection will be measured using the intubation and mechanical-ventilation free survival, defined as the time in days from start of treatment to first occurrence of a WHO OSCI score of 6 or more.

  9. Overall survival [42 days]

    The effect of 1815 on the development and severity of complications of COVID-19 infection will be measured using overall survival, defined as the time in days from start of treatment to death by any cause

  10. Number of days requiring oxygen therapy [42 days]

    The effect of 1815 on the development and severity of complications of COVID-19 infection will be measured using number of days requiring oxygen therapy

  11. Number of days with pyrexia [42 days]

    The effect of 1815 on the development and severity of complications of COVID-19 infection will be measured using number of days with pyrexia ≥ 38C
