Prospective Study in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Cancer and SARS-CoV-2 Infection

NCT04333914

Description:

A prospective, controlled, randomized, multicenter study whose goal is to compare the efficacy of an autophagy inhibitor (GNS561), an anti-NKG2A (monalizumab) and an anti-C5aR (avdoralimab) versus standard of care in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer who have Sars-CoV-2 infection not eligible to a resuscitation unit. According to their severity level at the time of enrolment, eligible patients will be randomized into 2 different cohorts: - COHORT 1 (mild symptoms or asymptomatic): GNS561 vs anti-NKG2A vs standard of care (randomization ratio 1:1:1). - COHORT 2 (moderate/severe symptoms): anti-C5aR vs standard of care (randomization ratio 1:1).

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Measure:28-day survival rate
    Time Frame:28 days from randomization
    Safety Issue:
    Description:28-day survival rate, defined by the proportion of patients still alive 28 days after randomization. If vital status at 28 days post randomisation is not available due to early transfer in an external resuscitation unit, patients will be considered as failure at the date of the transfer. Comparison of each experimental arm (GNS561 then monalizumab for cohort1 and avdoralimab for cohort2) to control arm will be performed using a Fisher exact test.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Measure:Time to clinical improvement
    Time Frame:28 days from randomization
    Safety Issue:
