METHODS: In this Phase 1b, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study (NCT04469621) a total of 82 patients were screened, of whom 68 patients were eligible and randomized (2:1) to receive eclitasertib 600 mg (300 mg twice daily) or placebo up to 14 days. Primary outcome was relative change in C-reactive protein from baseline to Day 7. Time to clinical improvement using 7-point ordinal scale, ventilator/respiratory failure-free days, change in SpO2/FiO2 ratio, and biomarkers of severe COVID-19 were explored.
RESULTS: Geometric mean ratio (point estimate [90% confidence interval]) of the relative change from baseline in C-reactive protein with eclitasertib vs. placebo on Day 7 was 0.85 (0.49-1.45; p = 0.30). Median time to 50% decrease in C-reactive protein from baseline was 3 days vs. 5 days (p = 0.056) with eclitasertib vs. placebo. Median time to ≥ 2-point improvement on 7-point clinical symptoms scale was 8 days vs. 10 days with eclitasertib vs. placebo (p = 0.38). Mean ventilator/respiratory failure-free days, change in baseline-adjusted SpO2/FiO2 ratio, and clinical biomarkers showed consistent numerical improvements with eclitasertib vs. placebo. The most frequently reported treatment-emergent adverse events were gastrointestinal disorders and condition aggravated/worsened COVID-19 pneumonia.
CONCLUSIONS: Eclitasertib was well tolerated with consistent trends toward more rapid resolution of inflammatory biomarkers and clinical improvement in severe COVID-19 patients than placebo.

UNASSIGNED: NCT04469621, first posted on clinicaltrials.gov on July 14, 2020.
方法:在此阶段1b,双盲,安慰剂对照研究(NCT04469621)共筛选82例患者,其中68例患者符合资格,并随机(2:1)接受eclitasertib600mg(300mg,每日2次)或安慰剂治疗14天.主要结果是C反应蛋白从基线到第7天的相对变化。使用7点序数量表进行临床改善的时间,呼吸机/无呼吸衰竭天数,SpO2/FiO2比值的变化,并探索了重症COVID-19的生物标志物。
结果:与eclitasertib相比,C反应蛋白相对于基线的相对变化的几何平均比(点估计[90%置信区间])第7天的安慰剂为0.85(0.49-1.45;p=0.30).C反应蛋白从基线下降50%的中位时间为3天,与5天(p=0.056)与eclitasertib安慰剂。7点临床症状量表改善≥2点的中位时间为8天。10天与eclitasertibvs.安慰剂(p=0.38)。平均无呼吸机/呼吸衰竭天数,基线调整后的SpO2/FiO2比值的变化,与eclitasertib相比,临床生物标志物显示出一致的数值改善安慰剂。最常报告的因治疗引起的不良事件是胃肠道疾病和病情加重/恶化的COVID-19肺炎。
结论:与安慰剂相比,重度COVID-19患者的炎症生物标志物迅速消退和临床改善趋势一致。
