Official Title
AGILE: Seamless Phase I/IIa Platform for the Rapid Evaluation of Candidates for COVID-19 Treatment
Brief Summary

The AGILE platform master protocol allows incorporation of a range of identified andyet-to-be-identified candidates as potential treatments for adults with COVID-19 into thetrial. Candidates will be added into the trial via candidate-specific trial (CST)protocols of this master protocol as appendices. Having one master protocol ensuresdifferent candidates are evaluated in the same consistent manor and opening up new trialsfor new candidates is more efficient. Inclusion of new candidates will be based onpre-clinical data, evidence in the clinical setting and GMP capabilities.

Detailed Description

AGILE is a multicentre, multi-arm, multi-dose, multi-stage open-label, adaptive, seamless
phase I/II Bayesian randomised platform trial to determine the optimal dose, activity and
safety of multiple candidate agents for the treatment of COVID-19.

This study allows for the assessment of many candidates at different doses, with the
ability to add candidates as they are identified or drop them as their evaluation is
completed. Promising candidates will move to an external trial for further evaluation in
the phase II/III setting.

Each candidate will be evaluated in its own trial, randomising between candidate and
control with 2:1 allocation in favour of the candidate. Each dose will be assessed for
safety sequentially in cohorts of 6 patients. Once a phase II dose has been identified we
will assess efficacy by seamlessly expanding into a larger cohort.

AGILE is completely flexible in that the core design in the master protocol (as has been
explained above) can be adapted for each candidate based on prior knowledge of the
candidate - i.e. population, primary endpoint and sample size can be amended. This will
be detailed in each candidate-specific trial protocol of the master protocol.

Candidate-Specific Trial 2 (CST-2): Open-label 2:1 randomised controlled phase I of
EIDD-2801 versus standard of care followed by a 1:1 blinded controlled parallel group
Phase II trial of EIDD-2801 versus placebo. A phase I will be carried out to confirm the
optimal dose in this group. Following a safety review, EIDD-2801 will be tested for
efficacy in a blinded placebo controlled randomised phase II trial.
