Study Description

Brief Summary:
This is a single-center, randomized double blind placebo controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of novel PAI-1 inhibitor (TM5614) for high-risk patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive standard of care plus TM5614 or standard of care plus placebo.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Covid19 Drug: TM5614 Other: Placebo Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This project will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel small molecule therapy targeting PAI-1 (TM5614) for patients with severe COVID-19. This is a randomized (1:1), double-blinded trial that will enroll adult patients (> 65 years OR <65 years with at least one major cardiometabolic comorbidity [diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease]) with COVID-19 requiring supplemental oxygen. The study intervention will be a small molecule inhibitor of PAI-1, TM5614, up to 180 mg, compared to matching placebo for up to 7 days.

Research blood samples for PAI-1 and C-reactive protein (CRP) will be collected at time of enrollment, 48 hours after 1st dose of medication and at day 7 or discharge, whichever comes first.

These objectives will allow for the planning of subsequent phase 3 study, and strengthen implementation of a multi-center randomized trial should this study confirm safety, and suggest efficacy of therapy.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Clinical improvement [ Time Frame: 7 Days ]

    Change of at least 2 points in the NIAID-defined ordinal scale (higher scores indicate improved outcome),:

    1. Death
    2. Hospitalized, receiving invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO
    3. Hospitalized, receiving noninvasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen devices
    4. Hospitalized, requiring low-flow supplemental oxygen
    5. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen but receiving ongoing medical care (related or not related to Covid-19)
    6. Hospitalized, requiring neither supplemental oxygen nor ongoing medical care (other than that specified in the protocol)
    7. Not hospitalized


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score change [ Time Frame: 7 Days ]

    Change in degree of organ dysfunction as defined by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Score.

    The SOFA score ranges from 0 to 24 (higher scores indicate more severe organ failure), with 0 to 4 points assigned for each of 6 organ dysfunctions (ie, central nervous system, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, coagulation, and liver).


  2. PAI-1 Levels [ Time Frame: 48 hours ]
    Change in circulating levels

  3. Ventilator free days [ Time Frame: 14 days ]
    For subjects who received mechanical ventilation, total number of days the subject was not on mechanical or non invasive mechanical ventilation while in the hospital
