About this trial

A clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of once daily oral dosing of 100 mg AP1189 or placebo administered for 14 days, as an add-on to standard of care (SOC) in participants with respiratory insufficiency expected to be caused by respiratory viral infection.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Written informed consent has been obtained prior to initiating any study-specific procedures

Expected respiratory viral infection, and positive for either SARS-COV-2, Influenza A or B, or RSV as confirmed by a bedside LAF test, qualitative PCR, or quantitative PCR (Q-PCR).

Hospitalized with respiratory insufficiency expected to be caused by respiratory viral infection defined by SpO2 ≤ 93 % on ambient air or supplementary oxygen supply via nasal catheter or facial mask (WHO Clinical Progression Scale score 5 or 6). Or in participants with hypercapnic respiratory failure (usually due to COPD) the SpO2 threshold is SpO2 ≤ 85 %.

Duration of disease from first symptom< 15 days before enrolment

Disqualifiers

In the investigator's opinion, progression to death is imminent and inevitable irrespective of the provision of treatment

Already meeting any component of the primary composite endpoint at screening, defined as the presence of any of the following: invasive mechanical ventilation, ECMO, cardiovascular organ support (balloon pump or inotropes/vasopressors), or renal failure (Cockcroft-Gault estimated creatinine clearance <15 ml/min, haemofiltration or dialysis). Note: participants qualifying under inclusion criterion 8b (pre-existing renal insufficiency or dialysis) are excluded only if they meet any of the other criteria (invasive mechanical ventilation, ECMO, or cardiovascular organ support). Participants who are physically located in an ICU or HDU but do not meet the above physiological criteria are not excluded on that basis alone.

Participating in other drug clinical trials

Any condition that in the view of the screening physician would suggest that the participant is unable to comply with study protocol and procedures
