A Study of Immune System Proteins in Participants With Mild to Moderate COVID-19 Illness

Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT04634409

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to measure how well monoclonal antibodies work, either alone or in combination, against the virus that causes COVID-19. Study drug(s) will be given to participants with early symptoms of COVID-19. Samples will be taken from the back of the nose to determine how much virus is in the body at various times during the study. Participation could last about 12 or 24 weeks and includes at least 1 visit to the study site, with the remainder of assessments performed in the home, local clinic, or by phone.

Exclusion Criteria:

   - For low-risk participants only: BMI ≥35

   sea level or ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2 in millimeters of
   mercury) to fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2) <300, respiratory rate ≥30 per minute,
   heart rate ≥125 per minute

   - Require mechanical ventilation or anticipated impending need for mechanical
   ventilation

   - Have known allergies to any of the components used in the formulation of the
   interventions

   - Have hemodynamic instability requiring use of pressors within 24 hours of
   randomization

   - Suspected or proven serious, active bacterial, fungal, viral, or other infection
   (besides COVID-19) that in the opinion of the investigator could constitute a risk
   when taking intervention

   - Have any co-morbidity requiring surgery within <7 days, or that is considered
   life-threatening within 29 days

   - Have any serious concomitant systemic disease, condition or disorder that, in the
   opinion of the investigator, should preclude participation in this study
