This study will assess the safety and efficacy of a single dose of AZD7442(× 2 IM injections) compared to placebo for the prevention of COVID-19.
SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that, as of 29 September
2020, has resulted in a high death toll to date. Unlike the majority of coronaviruses that
cause mild disease in humans and animals, SARS-CoV-2 can replicate in the lower respiratory
tract to cause acute respiratory distress syndrome and fatal pneumonia. Effective
interventions to prevent or treat COVID-19 remain limited in number and clinical experience
is limited. Clinical management is limited to supportive care, consequently overwhelming
resources of healthcare systems around the world. As a response to the ongoing pandemic,
AstraZeneca is developing mAbs to the SARS-CoV-2 S protein. The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
contains the virus's RBD, which enables the virus to bind to receptors on human cells. By
targeting this region of the virus's spike protein, antibodies can block the virus's
attachment to human cells, and, therefore, is expected to block infection. Amino acid
substitutions have been introduced into the antibodies to both extend their half-lives, which
should prolong their potential prophylactic benefit, and decrease Fc effector function in
order to decrease the potential risk of antibody-dependent enhancement of disease. AZD7442, a
combination of 2 of these mAbs (AZD8895 and AZD1061), is being evaluated for administration
to prevent and/or treat COVID-19. There is currently one completed and 2 ongoing Phase I
studies with AZD7442.
-The Provent repeat dose open-label sub-study is initiated to assess the safety, PK and
immunogenicity of repeat doses of AZD7442 in participants currently enrolled in the Provent
study who may benefit from repeat dose of AZD7442.
Drug: AZD7442
Single dose (× 2IM injections) of 300 mg of AZD7442 on parent study Day 1.
Single dose (× 2IM injections) of 300 mg of AZD7442 on sub-study Day 1.
Single dose (× 2IM injections) of 300 mg of AZD7442 on sub-study Day 183.
Single dose (x 2IM injections) of 600mg of AZD7442 on sub-study Day 183 and Day 366
Other Name: Combination of 2mAbs(AZD8895 and AZD1061)
Drug: Placebo
Single dose (× 2IM injections) of saline placebo on parent study Day 1.
Inclusion Criteria:
1. ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent
2. Can benefit from passive immunization with antibodies
3. Medically stable
4. Negative result from point of care SARS-CoV-2 serology testing at screening
5. Contraceptive used by women of child bearing potential, condom used by men
6. Able to understand and comply with study requirements/procedures based on the
assessment of the investigator
Sub-study Inclusion criteria which are additional to those in parent study are as follows:
- The participant has been randomized, dosed, and is ongoing in the PROVENT parent study
and is 12±2 months post first dose of blinded IMP.
- If one or more of the following apply:
1. Immunocompromised and/or may be at increased risk for an inadequate immune
response to a COVID-19 vaccine.
2. In the opinion of the Investigator, are at increased risk and would benefit from
a repeat dose of AZD7442.
- Documented negative SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test collected ≤ 3 days prior to sub-study Day 1
or a negative rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen test at screening.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Significant infection or other acute illness, including fever >100°F (>37.8°C) on the
day prior to or day of randomization.
2. History of laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection or any positive SARS-CoV-2 result
based on available data at screening.
3. History of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or Middle East
respiratory syndrome (MERS).
4. Known history of allergy or reaction to any component of the study drug formulation.
5. Previous hypersensitivity, infusion-related reaction, or severe adverse reaction
following administration of a mAb.
6. Any prior receipt of investigational or licensed vaccine or other mAb/biologic
indicated for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 or expected receipt during the
period of study follow-up.
7. Bleeding disorder or prior history of significant bleeding or bruising following IM
injections or venepuncture.
8. Any other significant disease, disorder, or finding. that may significantly increase
the risk to the participant because of participation in the study, affect the ability
of the participant to participate in the study, or impair interpretation of the study
data.
9. Receipt of any IMP in the preceding 90 days or expected receipt of IMP during the
period of study follow-up, or concurrent participation in another interventional study
10. Currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
11. Blood drawn in excess of a total of 450 mL (1 unit) for any reason within 30 days
prior to randomization.
12. Employees of the Sponsor involved in planning, executing, supervising, or reviewing
the AZD7442 program,, clinical study site staff, or any other individuals involved
with the conduct of the study, or immediate family members of such individuals.
13. In nations, states, or other jurisdictions that for legal or ethical reasons bar the
enrollment of participants who lack capacity to provide their own informed consent,
such subjects are excluded.
Sub-study Exclusion criteria are as follows:
1. Patient have received a COVID-19 vaccination ≤ 14 days before sub-study Day1 or plan
to receive a COVID-19 vaccination ≤ 14 days after sub-study Day1. (Such participants
can subsequently be included in the study once they have reached >14 days after their
last dose of vaccine).
2. Patient have two or more untreated cardiac risk factors or suspected unstable cardiac
disease.
3. Judgment by the Investigator that the participant should not participate in the study
if the participant is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and
requirements.
