Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Protease Inhibition for COVID-19 in Standard-Risk Patients (EPIC-SR). (NCT NCT05011513)

NCT ID: NCT05011513

Last Updated: 2023-08-14

Results Overview

Sustained alleviation of targeted COVID-19 signs/symptoms was defined as the event occurring on the first 4 consecutive days when all symptoms scored as moderate or severe at the time of enrollment were scored as mild or absent and those scored mild or absent at the time of enrollment were scored as absent. Missing severity at baseline was considered as mild. Time to sustained alleviation of all targeted COVID-19 signs and symptoms through Day 28, was calculated as time (days) from start of study intervention or placebo (Day 1) until sustained alleviation of all targeted COVID-19 associated signs and symptoms. In this outcome measure time to sustained alleviation is reported consolidated for overall COVID-19 signs and symptoms.

Participant Flow

Participants who had confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection as determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) within 5 days prior to randomization were included in the study.

A total of 1440 participants signed informed consent form. Out of which, 1296 subjects were randomized and assigned to study drug. 1288 participants were treated and remaining 8 participants were not treated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From Day 1 to Day 28

Population: Modified intent-to-treat (mITT1) population included all participants randomly assigned to study intervention, who received at least 1 dose of study intervention. Participants were analyzed according to the study intervention they were randomized.

Sustained alleviation of targeted COVID-19 signs/symptoms was defined as the event occurring on the first 4 consecutive days when all symptoms scored as moderate or severe at the time of enrollment were scored as mild or absent and those scored mild or absent at the time of enrollment were scored as absent. Missing severity at baseline was considered as mild. Time to sustained alleviation of all targeted COVID-19 signs and symptoms through Day 28, was calculated as time (days) from start of study intervention or placebo (Day 1) until sustained alleviation of all targeted COVID-19 associated signs and symptoms. In this outcome measure time to sustained alleviation is reported consolidated for overall COVID-19 signs and symptoms.

Population: Safety analysis set included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study intervention. Participants were analyzed according to the intervention they actually received. A randomized but not treated participant was excluded from the safety analyses.

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life-threatening ; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity ; congenital anomaly/birth defect; or that was considered as an important medical event. TEAEs were defined as events that started on or after the study medication start date and time. AEs included both serious and all non-serious adverse events. AEs that led to study discontinuation and AEs that led to discontinuation of study intervention and then continued study were also reported in this outcome measure.

Population: mITT1 population included all participants randomly assigned to study intervention, who received at least 1 dose of study intervention. Participants were analyzed according to the study intervention they were randomized. Here, ''Overall Number of Participants Analyzed'' signifies participants evaluable for this outcome measure.

Participants recorded a daily severity rating of their symptom severity over the past 24 hours based on a 4-point scale in which 0 was reported if no symptoms were present; 1 if mild; 2 if moderate; and 3 if severe. A participant with severe score for any targeted symptoms post-baseline was counted as severe. Vomiting and diarrhea each was rated on a 4-point frequency scale where 0 was reported for no occurrence, 1 for 1 to 2 times, 2 for 3 to 4 times, and 3 for 5 or greater. Sense of smell and sense of taste each be rated on a 3-point Likert scale where 0 was reported if the sense of smell/taste was the same as usual, 1 if the sense of smell/taste was less than usual, and 2 for no sense of smell/taste.

Sustained alleviation of targeted COVID-19 signs/symptoms was defined as the event occurring on the first 4 consecutive days when all symptoms scored as moderate or severe at the time of enrollment were scored as mild or absent and those scored mild or absent at the time of enrollment were scored as absent. Missing severity at baseline was treated as mild.
