Official Title
Randomized Master Protocol for Immune Modulators for Treating COVID-19
Brief Summary

ACTIV-1 IM is a master protocol designed to evaluate multiple investigational agents for the treatment of moderately or severely ill patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The research objectives are to evaluate each agent with respect to speed of recovery, mortality, illness severity, and hospital resource utilization. Each agent will be evaluated as add-on therapy to the standard of care (SoC) in use at the local clinics, including remdesivir (provided). The SoC may change during the course of the study based on other research findings. Comparisons of the agents among themselves is not a research objective. The study population corresponds to moderately and severely ill patients infected with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus. Recruitment will target patients already hospitalized for treatment of COVID-19 infection as well as patients being treated for COVID-19 infection in Emergency Departments while waiting to be admitted to the hospital. Patients both in and out of the ICU are included in the study population.

Detailed Description

ACTIV-1 IM is a master protocol designed to evaluate immune modulators for the treatment of
moderately or severely ill hospitalized patients infected with COVID-19. Trial participants
will be assessed daily while hospitalized. If the participants are discharged from the
hospital prior to Day 29, they will have follow-up study visits at Days 8, 11, 15, 22, and
29. For discharged participants, it is preferred that the Day 8, 11, 15, and 29 visits are in
person to obtain safety laboratory tests and blood (serum/plasma) samples for secondary
research as well as clinical outcome data. However, infection control or other restrictions
may limit the ability of the participant to return to the clinic. In this case, these visits
may be conducted by phone, and only clinical data will be obtained. The Day 22 visit does not
have laboratory tests or collection of samples and is conducted by phone. The Day 60
assessment will be conducted by phone.

The effectiveness of each therapeutic agent as add-on therapy to SoC plus remdesivir
(provided) will be evaluated based on the primary endpoint of time to recovery by Day 29. The
sample size requirements are based on the ability to detect a moderate improvement in time to
recovery (3-4 fewer days) for each agent. A total of 788 recoveries are required for each
comparison to provide approximately 85% power to detect a recovery rate ratio of 1.25.
Assuming 73% of participants achieve recovery in 28 days, consistent with the ACTT-1 results,
the total sample size to evaluate 1, 2, and 3 agents in ACTIV-1 IM is approximately 1080,
1620, and 2160, respectively. Because each agent is being compared to SoC with no
between-agent comparisons, no multiplicity adjustments for multiple agents are planned.

The CVC arm of the study was closed to enrollment on 3-Sep-2021.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Admitted to a hospital or awaiting admission in the ED with symptoms suggestive of
COVID-19.

2. Subject (or legally authorized representative) provides informed consent prior to
initiation of any study procedures.

3. Subject (or legally authorized representative) understands and agrees to comply with
planned study procedures.

4. Male or non-pregnant female adults ≥18 years of age at time of enrollment.

5. Has laboratory-confirmed (within 14 days prior to enrollment) SARS-CoV-2 infection as
determined by PCR or other commercial or public health assay in any specimen.

6. Ongoing illness of any duration, and at least one of the following:

- Radiographic infiltrates by imaging (chest x-ray, CT scan, etc.), OR

- Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≤94% on room air, OR

- Requiring supplemental oxygen, OR

- Requiring mechanical ventilation or ECMO.

7. Women of childbearing potential must agree to either abstinence or use of at least one
primary form of contraception not including hormonal contraception from the time of
screening through Day 60.

8. Agrees to not to participate in another interventional trial for the treatment of
COVID-19 through Day 60.

Exception 1: Participant may co-enroll in ACTIV-4 (ACTIV-4A and ACTIV-4C). Exception 2:
Participants in ACTIV-2 who have been hospitalized may be enrolled in ACTIV-1 as long as
ACTIV-2 study therapy has been discontinued. They will remain in ACTIV-2 follow-up.

Exception 3: If participant is already participating in a COVID-19 vaccine trial but
develops COVID-19 disease that requires hospitalization, participant is eligible for this
study, assuming all other inclusion/exclusion criteria are met.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. ALT or AST >10 times the upper limit of normal.

2. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min (including patients receiving
hemodialysis or hemofiltration).

Exception: Participants with an eGFR <30 mL/min may enroll as long as their renal
insufficiency has been stable without renal replacement therapy for ≥1 month and they
are not current candidates for renal replacement therapy. These participants will not
receive remdesivir.

3. Neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count <1000 cells/μL) (<1.0 x 103/μL or <1.0 GI/L).

4. Lymphopenia (absolute lymphocyte count <200 cells/μL) (<0.20 x 103/μL or <0.20 GI/L)

5. Pregnancy or breast feeding.

6. Anticipated discharge from the hospital or transfer to another hospital which is not a
study site within 72 hours.

7. Known allergy to any study medication.

8. Received cytotoxic or biologictargeted immune-modulator treatments (such as
anti-interleukin-1 [IL-1], anti-IL-6 [tocilizumab or sarilumab], anti-IL-17, or T-cell
or B-cell targeted therapies ([e.g., rituximab), tyrosine kinase], JAK inhibitors
[including baricitinib,], TNF inhibitors, or interferon) within 4 weeks or 5
half-lives prior to screening., whichever is longer. Steroid dependency, defined as

screening, is exclusionary. Note Exception 1: Dexamethasone (at a dose of 6 mg per day
for up to 10 days) is permitted for the treatment of COVID-19 in patients who are
already mechanically ventilated and in patients who require supplemental oxygen at
screening, but who are not mechanically ventilated in accordance with national
guidelines. Note Exception 2: Infusion of convalescent plasma given for treatment of
COVID-19 while on-study is also allowed.

Exception 3: Monoclonal antibody therapy given for COVID-19 treatment at any time
prior to enrollment is also allowed.

9. BasedKnown or suspected history of untreated tuberculosis (TB). TB diagnosis may be

4 weeks with appropriate anti-tuberculosis therapy per local guidelines (by history
only, no screening required).

or suspected serious, active bacterial, fungal, or viral (infection (excepting
SARS-CoV-2 and including, but not limited to, active HBV, HCV, or HIV/AIDS). with the
