3 Time of Recovery and Prognostic Factors of COVID-19 Pneumonia

It has been reported that nearly half of the patients who are hospitalized for Covid-19 pneumonia have on admission old age or comorbidities. In particular, hypertension was present in 30% of the cases, diabetes in 19%, coronary heart disease in 8% and chronic obstructive lung disease in 3% of the patients. Amazingly, in the two major studies published in the Lancet (Zhou F et al Lancet 2020) and in the New England Journal of Medicine (Guan W et al 2020), the weight of the subjects as well their body mass index (BMI) were omitted. However, obesity, alone or in association with diabetes, can be a major predisposition factor for Covid-19 infection. The primary end-point of our prospective, observational study is to assess the recovery rate in patients with diagnosis of Covid-19 pneumonia. Among the other secondary end-points, we intend to find the predictors of the time to clinical improvement or hospital discharge in patients affected by Covid-19 pneumonia.

5 Tociluzumab for Cytokine Release Syndrome With SARS-CoV-2: An Open-Labeled, Randomized Phase 3 Trial

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding tocilizumab to standard of care versus standard of care alone in treating cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. CRS is a potentially serious disorder caused by the release of an excessive amount of substance that is made by cells of the immune system (cytokines) as a response to viral infection. Tocilizumab is used to decrease the body's immune response. Adding tocilizumab to standard of care may work better in treating CRS in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to standard of care alone.

6 Major Determinants of COVID-19 Associated Pneumonia

Molecular testing (e.g PCR) of respiratory tract samples is the recommended method for the identification and laboratory confirmation of COVID-19 cases. Recent evidence reported that the diagnostic accuracy of many of the available RT-PCR tests for detecting SARS-CoV2 may be lower than optimal. Of course, the economical and clinical implications of diagnostic errors are of foremost significance and in case of infectious outbreaks, namely pandemics, the repercussions are amplified. False positives and false-negative results may jeopardize the health of a single patient and may affect the efficacy of containment of the outbreak and of public health policies. In particular, false-negative results contribute to the ongoing of the infection causing further spread of the virus within the community, masking also other potentially infected people.

7 A Randomized Clinical Trial for Enhanced Trained Immune Responses Through Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Vaccination to Prevent Infections by COVID-19: The ACTIVATE II Trial

Based on findings of the interim analysis of the ACTIVATE study showing 53% decrease of the incidence of all new infections with BCG vaccination, a new trial is designed aiming to validate if BCG can protect against COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease-19).The aim of the study is to demonstrate in a double-blind, placebo-controlled approach if vaccination of participants susceptible to COVID-19 with BCG vaccine may modulate their disease susceptibility for COVID-19. This will be validated using both clinical and immunological criteria. At the same time, a sub-study will be conducted and the mechanism of benefit from BCG vaccination by assessing its effect on vascular endothelial function and mononuclear blood cells will be studied

ARALAST NP120 mg/kg BW/week vs 60 mg/kg BW/week, 3. ARALAST NP 60 mg/kg BW/week group vs external placebo group.

Measure: Annual Rate of the Physiologically Adjusted Lung Density Change

Time: Baseline, up to Week 104

Secondary Outcomes

Description: COPD exacerbations are defined as an acute worsening of respiratory symptoms that results in additional therapy and will be assessed according to the classification in GOLD criteria (2020) as follows: Moderate (treated with short acting bronchodilators [SABDs] plus antibiotics and/or oral corticosteroids) and Severe (required hospitalizations or a visit to the emergency room).

Measure: Number of Moderate or Severe Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Time: Baseline, up to Week 104

Description: Annual rate of change in post-bronchodilator FEV1 will be assessed.

Measure: Annual Rate of Change in Post-Bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1)

Time: Baseline, up to Week 104

Description: An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this IP or medicinal product. A TEAE is defined as any event emerging or manifesting at or after the initiation of treatment with an IP or medicinal product or any existing event that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the IP or medicinal product. TEAE's will include related, serious adverse events (SAEs), suspected adverse reactions plus adverse reactions of interest, temporally-associated adverse events (AEs) with onset during infusion or within 24 hours following the end of IP infusion, and AEs resulting in changes to infusion dose.

Measure: Number of Participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE's)

Time: From Start of the study drug administration up to End of the study (up to Week 105)

Description: Number of participants who develop anti- A1PI antibodies following treatment with ARALAST NP will be assessed.

Measure: Number of Participants Who Develop Anti-A1PI Antibodies Following Treatment With ARALAST NP

Time: From Start of the study drug administration up to End of the study (up to Week 105)

Description: Plasma trough level of antigenic and functional A1PI for ARALAST NP at each dose level (ARALAST NP 60 mg/kg BW/week, ARALAST NP 120 mg/kg BW/week) will be assessed.

Measure: Plasma Trough Level of Antigenic and Functional A1PI for ARALAST NP at each dose Level

Time: Pre-dose, Weeks 4, 13, 28, 52, 78, 91, 104, 105

9 A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2a Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of ION-827359 in Patients With Mild to Moderate COPD With Chronic Bronchitis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of ION-827359 on forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) in patients with mild to moderate COPD with CB.

NCT04441788 Chronic Bronchitis Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Drug: ION-827359 Drug: Placebo
MeSH:Lung Diseases Lung Diseases, Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive Bronchitis Bronchitis, Chronic Acute Disease
HPO:Abnormal lung morphology Bronchitis Chronic bronchitis Chronic pulmonary obstruction Pulmonary obstruction

Primary Outcomes

Measure: Change From Baseline to the Primary Time Point in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Compared to Placebo

Time: From Baseline up to average of Weeks 13 and 14

Secondary Outcomes

Description: The EXACT (E-RS) scale is a participant-reported outcome (PRO) designed to measure the symptoms of participants with COPD. The E-RS utilizes 11 respiratory symptom items from the existing and validated 14-item EXACT, which measures symptoms of exacerbation. The E-RS total score quantifies respiratory symptom severity, and 3 domains assess breathlessness, cough and sputum, and chest symptoms. The E-RS will be collected on the daily e-diary, which will include all 14 items from the EXACT questionnaire.

Measure: Change From Baseline in the EXACT Respiratory Symptoms (E-RS) Daily Symptom Diary to the Primary Time Point

Time: One week prior to first dose through one week after the last dose.

Description: The CAT is an eight-item questionnaire that will be completed by the participant and is designed to quantify the impact of COPD symptoms on the health status of participants. The CAT provides a score of 0-40 to indicate the impact of the disease.

Measure: Change From Baseline in the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) to the Week 14 Time Point

Time: From Baseline up to Week 14

Description: The SGRQ is a participant completed, a disease-specific instrument designed to measure impact on overall health, daily life, and perceived well-being in participants with obstructive airway disease. Scores of the SGRQ-C range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more limitations.

Measure: Change From Baseline in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) to the Week 14 Time Point

Time: From Baseline up to Week 14

Measure: Change from Baseline in Post-Bronchodilator FEV1

Time: From Baseline up to average of Weeks 13 and 14

Measure: Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration for ION-827359

Time: Up to Week 24

Measure: Tmax: Time to Reach the Maximum Plasma Concentration for ION-827359

Time: Up to Week 24

Measure: AUC[0-t]: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve from Time Zero to t for ION-827359

Time: Up to Week 24

Measure: Incidence of Participants With at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE), Graded by Severity

Time: Up to Week 24

Measure: Number of Participants With Abnormal Laboratory Values

Time: Up to Week 24

Measure: Number of Participants With Abnormal Vital Signs Measurements
