Study Description

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational drug, AT-100, is safe and tolerated by adults who have severe corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Covid19	Biological: AT-100	Phase 1

Study Design

• Study Type: Interventional (Clinical Trial)
• Estimated Enrollment: 9 participants
• Allocation: Non-Randomized
• Intervention Model: Sequential Assignment
• Intervention Model Description: Phase 1b portion is a dose escalation study to establish the safest & most tolerable AT-100 dose.
• Masking: None (Open Label)
• Primary Purpose: Treatment
• Official Title: Phase 1b Open-label, Single Arm, Cohort Dose Escalation Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Feasibility of Intervention With AT-100 (rhSP-D) in Intubated Patients Receiving Invasive Mechanical Ventilation With Severe COVID-19 Infection
• Actual Study Start Date: August 17, 2021
• Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 2022
• Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2022

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: AT-100 75 mg; Once daily AT-100 via intratracheal administration for up to 7 doses.	Biological: AT-100; reconstituted AT-100 for intratracheal administration; Other Name: (rhSP-D)
Experimental: AT-100 150 mg; Once daily AT-100 via intratracheal administration for up to 7 doses, if the prior dose level was safe & tolerated.	Biological: AT-100; reconstituted AT-100 for intratracheal administration; Other Name: (rhSP-D)
Experimental: AT-100 75 mg or 150 mg; Once daily AT-100 via intratracheal administration for up to 7 doses, at the highest safe & tolerated dose as determined by the prior 2 dosing levels.	Biological: AT-100; reconstituted AT-100 for intratracheal administration; Other Name: (rhSP-D)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Determining the highest-tolerated & safety-tested AT-100 dose [ Time Frame: From time of initial AT-100 dosing until the end of the dosing period, up to 7 days ]
   Dose escalation of AT-100 will occur to determine the maximum dose (in mg) that produces no significant Dose Limiting Toxicities or dose-related Adverse Events (AEs).

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Reduction in mechanical ventilation [ Time Frame: From mechanical ventilation initiation up to Day 28 ]
   Days on mechanical ventilation.

Other Outcome Measures:

1. Mortality [ Time Frame: Through study completion, up to Day 90 ]
   Incidence of death.

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult)
• Sexes Eligible for Study: All
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. The subject is an adult ≥18 years of age.
2. The subject has documented, laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection within 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
3. The subject has severe SARS-CoV-2 infection requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation.
4. The subject has been receiving mechanical ventilation for <72 hours.
5. The subject is receiving mechanical ventilation due to respiratory disease that is primarily due to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
6. The subject, or legally authorized representative if acting on the subject's behalf, is able to provide informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. The subject refuses to participate, or the subject's legally authorized representative acting on the subject's behalf refuses the subject's participation.
2. The subject is pregnant or breastfeeding.
3. The subject is anticipated to be transferred to another hospital that is not a study site within 36 hours of enrollment.
4. The subject has received or is receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment for COVID-19 treatment.
5. The subject has Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) under highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
6. The subject has cancer and is receiving chemotherapy treatment at any time during trial duration, or has received chemotherapy treatment within 30 days of trial enrollment.
7. The subject has a prior history of lung transplant, lobectomy, or other significant lung surgeries that would indicate an already compromised lung.
8. The subject has known pulmonary air leaks, such as pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum.
9. Concurrent enrollment in an investigational product, device, or treatment trial with exception of Remdesivir whether part of a clinical trial or standard-of-care management.
10. The subject has a known allergy, sensitivity, or contraindication to any component of the test article (AT-100).
11. The subject has any active do not resuscitate (DNR)-Comfort Care (CC) order in place. Subjects with an active DNR-Comfort Care Arrest (CCA) are not excluded.
12. The subject's intubation, re-intubation, or remaining on intubation is not per clinical standard-of-care and is solely for the purposes of administration of study drug.
13. The subject has any condition or is in a situation in which, in the Investigator's judgement, puts the subject at significant risk, could confound the trial results, or may significantly interfere with the subject's trial participation.
