Participant Flow

Participants took part in the study at sites in the United States, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico, from 29 January 2021 (first participant enrolled to receive the study drug) to 28 January 2022 (last participant completed).

78 participants with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) who were hospitalized were screened of which 57 were randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive either Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (PI) (Human) plus Standard Medical Treatment (SMT) or placebo plus Standard Medical Treatment.

Measure
Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor + Standard Medical Treatment
Participants received the first intravenous (IV) infusion of liquid alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (human) 120 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), based on body weight on Day 1, followed by second liquid alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (human) dose of 120 mg/kg based on body weight, on Day 8 (second dose was not mandatory and was given at the principal investigator's \[PI\] discretion). Participants also received all standard of care interventions while hospitalized, from Day 1 to Day 29.
Placebo + Standard Medical Treatment
Participants received IV infusions of 0.9% normal saline of commensurate volume to that of liquid alpha1-proteinase inhibitor as placebo on Day 1 and Day 8 (Day 8 was not mandatory and was given at the PI's discretion). Participants also received all standard of care interventions while hospitalized, from Day 1 to Day 29.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Days 15 and 29

Population: ITT population included all participants who were randomized. Overall number analyzed are the number of participants with data available for analysis.

NEWS is clinical scoring developed to improve detection of deterioration in ill participant. It is based on 7 clinical parameters: Respiration rate, oxygen saturation, supplemental oxygen, systolic blood pressure (BP), pulse rate, level of consciousness, and temperature. A score of 0 and 2 was allocated to supplemental oxygen, 0 and 3 for level of consciousness and score of 0, 1, 2 and 3 for remaining parameters (i.e. respiration rate, oxygen saturation, systolic BP, pulse rate and temperature) where 0 = normal health condition to 3 = worst health condition; Higher scores indicated more severity. All scores were summed to get an aggregate score. Aggregate NEWS score ranged from 0 to 20, with higher scores indicating more severity/higher risk.

The ordinal scale is a 7-point scale ranging from 1 to 7 used to measure clinical status based on the following points: 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; 6) Not hospitalized, limitation on activities; 7) Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities. Higher score indicated no severe illness. Mean change in Ordinal scale was evaluated by fitting a linear mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM).

Participants received the first IV infusion of liquid alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (human) 120 mg/kg, based on body weight on Day 1, followed by second liquid alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (human) dose of 120 mg/kg based on body weight, on Day 8 (second dose was not mandatory and was given at the PI's discretion). Participants also received all standard of care interventions while hospitalized, from Day 1 to Day 29.
Placebo + Standard Medical Treatment
n=4 Participants
Participants received IV infusions of 0.9% normal saline of commensurate volume to that of liquid alpha1-proteinase inhibitor as placebo on Day 1 and Day 8 (Day 8 was not mandatory and was given at the PI's discretion). Participants also received all standard of care interventions while hospitalized, from Day 1 to Day 29.
