NCT04412252

Brief Summary

The study is designed as a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study of the safety and efficacy of tofacitinib in hospitalized adult participants with COVID-19 pneumonia who are receiving SoC therapy and who are not on HFNC, noninvasive ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation, or ECMO on Day 1 at the time of randomization. Participants with laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection as determined by a positive PCR or other commercially available or public health assay, who have agreed to participate will be screened within 48 hours after hospitalization to determine eligibility. This should be completed within 48 hours prior to Day 1. Eligible participants will be randomized on Day 1 in a 1:1 ratio to the tofacitinib treatment group or the placebo treatment group and will receive treatment for up to 14 days, or until discharge from the hospital, whichever is earlier. If a participant requires intubation prior to the end of the 14-day treatment period, they will continue to receive tofacitinib or matching placebo until Day 14 (or until discharge from the hospital, if earlier than Day 14), if clinically appropriate. Participants will be assessed daily (up to Day 28) while hospitalized for clinical, safety, and laboratory parameters. Follow-up visits will occur on Day 28, 28 to 35 days after the ET/ED/EOT visit, and on Day 60. An independent, external DSMB will be convened to oversee the safety of participants and make recommendations regarding the conduct of the trial in accordance with the Charter.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical status using ordinal scale

    Death or respiratory failure (1, 2, or 3, on an 8-point ordinal scale of disease severity) at Day 28. The scale is as follows: 1) Death; 2) Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); 3) Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; 4) Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 5) Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19 related or otherwise); 6) Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care; 7) Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen; 8) Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities.

    Day 28

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Clinical status using ordinal scale

    Day 14

  • Status of alive and not using mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

    Day 14 and Day 28

  • Status of discharged or not requiring supplemental oxygen

    Day 28

  • Mortality

    Day 60

Study Arms (2)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 99 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female between 18 and 65 years. A female is eligible if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding. WOCBP must use 2 highly effective forms of contraception.
  • Participants with laboratory-confirmed novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection prior to Day 1.
  • Participants with evidence of COVID-19 pneumonia assessed by radiographic imaging (chest x ray or chest CT scan).

You may not qualify if:

  • Require HFNC, non-invasive ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation, or ECMO on Day 1 at the time of randomization.
  • Have history of or current thrombosis. Only if current thrombosis is suspected, imaging testing is recommended (e.g. CTPA or per local guidance) to exclude thrombosis.
  • Have a personal or first degree family history of blood clotting disorders.
  • Participants who are immunocompromised, with known immunodeficiencies, or taking potent immunosuppressive agents (e.g. azathioprine, cyclosporine).
  • Participants with any current malignancy or lymphoproliferative disorders that requires active treatment.
  • Suspected or known active systemic bacterial, fungal, or viral infections (with the exception of COVID-19).
  • Severe hepatic impairment, defined as Child-Pugh class C.
  • Severe anemia (hemoglobin \< 8 g/dL)
  • ANY of the following abnormalities in clinical lab tests at screening, confirmed by a single repeat, if deemed necessary: ALC \< 500 cells/mm3, ANC \< 1000 cells/mm3
  • Known allergy to tofacitinib
