Participant Flow

This study was planned to evaluate the concept of pharmacological activity of BI 767551 in non-hospitalised patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms. The study was terminated early. 5 patients total participated in phase II and phase III was not conducted.

All subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Subjects attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the subjects) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.

Measure
Placebo Intravenous (i.v.) + Placebo Inhaled
Single dose of sterile normal saline (NaCl 0.9%) used as placebo was administered as intravenous (i.v.) infusion over a period of 60 minutes plus a single inhaled of solvent for dilution of BI 767551 used as placebo for inhalation administered via inhalation through a mouthpiece (Aerogen® Ultra) using a mesh nebulizer (Aerogen® Solo) on Day 1, followed by a 90-day follow-up period. The inhalation procedure was to start approximately 25 min after the start of infusion.
Placebo Intravenous (i.v.) + BI 767551 250 mg Inhaled
Single dose of sterile normal saline (NaCl 0.9%) used as placebo was administered as intravenous (i.v.) infusion over a period of 60 minutes plus a single inhaled of 250 milligrams (mg) of BI 767551 administered via inhalation through a mouthpiece (Aerogen® Ultra) using a mesh nebulizer (Aerogen® Solo) on Day 1, followed by a 90-day follow-up period. The inhalation procedure was to start approximately 25 min after the start of infusion.
