JUST BREATHE, Breathing Life into Innovative Therapies for ARDS

Overview

About this study

The primary objective is the clinical efficacy of the IP relative to placebo as measured by survival. The corresponding primary endpoint is all-cause mortality (ACM) at Day 28 (ie, up to and including Day 28).

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclsuion Criteria:

  • Participant (or their LAR) provides informed consent and agrees to comply with protocol requirements prior to initiation of any study procedures, unless considered as part of the management of ARDS.
  • Participant is at least 18 years of age or older at the time of consent.
  • Participant with signs and symptoms of ARDS according to the Berlin definition of ARDS (Section 1.2). Note that participants on noninvasive ventilation may be screened.
    • Condition is precipitated by an acute predisposing risk factor including, but not limited to pneumonia (viral or bacterial), non-pulmonary infection, and/or shock. Note: ARDS can be diagnosed in the presence of the following conditions if a predisposing risk factor for ARDS is also present: i) Pulmonary edema is not exclusively or primarily attributable to cardiogenic pulmonary edema/fluid overload, or ii) hypoxemia/gas exchange abnormalities are not primarily attributable to atelectasis. Please see corresponding Exclusion Criterion 2.
    • Acute onset or worsening of hypoxemic respiratory failure within 1 week of the estimated onset of the predisposing risk factor or new or worsening respiratory symptoms.
    • Bilateral opacities on chest radiograph or computed tomography, or bilateral B lines and/or consolidations by ultrasound not fully explained by effusions, atelectasis, or nodules/masses.
    • Severity (mild, moderate, severe) based on PaO2/FiO2 or SpO2/FiO2 assessment at the time of randomization. Cohort eligibility may limit one or more severity classifications (Table 1-3) as follows: See protocol
  • Participant of childbearing potential must agree to either abstinence or use at least one primary form of contraception, not including hormonal contraception, from the time of screening through Day 28. Additional cohort-specific requirements may apply as follows:  See protocol
  • Participant agrees to not participate in another investigational interventional study while participating in this study (ie, through Day 90).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participant with ARDS or at risk of developing ARDS due to the following reasons: trauma, large volume aspiration, or transfusion.
  • Participant with pulmonary edema due to cardiogenic pulmonary edema/fluid overload or hypoxemia primarily attributable atelectasis, in the absence of a predisposing risk factor for ARDS.
  • Participant who demonstrates an improvement in oxygenation and ventilatory support 24 hours prior to or during screening up to randomization, such that per investigator clinical judgement, the participant is expected to have significant improvement in lung function over subsequent 24 hours regardless of additional interventions.
  • Participant is known to be pregnant, nursing, or with a positive (urine and/or serum test) pregnancy test.
  • Participant is anticipated to be transferred to another hospital which is not a study site within 72 hours.
  • Participant is not expected to survive for 72 hours.
  • Participant has been on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO for more than 48 hours from their diagnosis of ARDS at the time of consent.
  • Participant has an underlying clinical condition where, in the opinion of the Investigator and based on their clinical judgement, it would be extremely unlikely that the participant would come off ventilation (eg, motor neuron disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or rapidly progressive interstitial pulmonary fibrosis).
  • Participant has severe COPD requiring continuous long-term home oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation (noninvasive ventilation or via tracheotomy) except for CPAP or bi-level positive airway pressure used solely for sleep-disordered breathing.
  • Participant has interstitial lung disease or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis requiring continuous chronic home oxygen therapy.
  • Participant has NY Heart Association Class IV congestive heart failure.
  • Participant has a known allergy to any study medication or any of its excipients. Additional cohort-specific requirements may apply as follows: See protocol
  • Participant was dialysis-dependent prior to hospitalization. Additional cohort-specific requirements may apply as follows: See Protocol
  • Participant is receiving systemic immunosuppressive therapy for solid organ or hematopoietic cancer or transplant anti-rejection medication.

NOTE: Patients on chronic low dose immunosuppressive therapy may be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator in consultation with the medical monitor.

  • Participant is undergoing active cancer systemic chemotherapy.
  • Participant received treatment with an investigational immunomodulator or immunosuppressant drugs, within 5 half-lives or 30 days (whichever is longer) before randomization.
  • Participant with concurrent or history of the following infections:
    • Known active tuberculosis
    • Known active Hepatitis B, or
    • HIV and a CD4 count less than 50 or a detectable viral load of > 200 copies/mL HIV RNA.
  • Participant received treatment with any other investigational drugs within 30 days prior to consent.
  • Participant had a history of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, intra-abdominal abscess within 28 days of screening or inadequate wound healing secondary to major thoracoabdominal surgery at the time of screening.
  • Participant is considered by the investigator, for any reason, to be an unsuitable candidate for the study.
  • Participant may have additional cohort-specific requirements. See Procotol 

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria may apply.
