Arm Description

Matching placebo will be administered orally four times a day (QID) to the standard of care for MIS-C.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Evaluate the efficacy and safety of AT1001 versus placebo on mitigating symptoms of MIS-C
• To evaluate the efficacy and safety of AT1001 versus placebo in pediatric patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection who experience early signs of MIS-C and are at high risk of progression.
Determine proportion of participants with improvement in MIS-C related GI symptoms and no progression of disease
Improvement in GI symptoms is defined as: Improvement in PedsQL GI Symptoms Scales score ≥48 hours, as determined by patient or caregiver response. AND improvement in clinical manifestation of GI symptoms, as documented by complete physical exam or clinical assessment and clinical laboratory tests or imaging. No Progression of MIS-C is defined as: No involvement of additional organ involvement, as identified by clinical assessment and clinical laboratory tests or imaging. AND no new onset of new or worsening GI symptoms for ≥48 hours including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and/or abdominal pain, as determined by patient or caregiver symptom report or worsening PedsQL GI Symptoms Scales scores.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Determine the impact of AT1001 on infectious and inflammatory markers of MIS-C
Secondary aims of this study include determining the impact of AT1001 on infectious and inflammatory markers of MIS-C.
Determine the impact of AT1001 on improvement in MIS-C symptoms for ≥48 hours, as determined by patient or caregiver symptom report on MIS-C Symptom Questionnaire.
Determine the impact of AT1001 on length of stay in hospital (days from baseline to readiness to discharge).
Determine the impact of AT1001 on re-presentation to medical care for MISC-related symptoms after discharge.
Determine the impact of AT1001 on need for escalation of care (eg, transfer from hospital ward to ICU; supplemental oxygen; mechanical ventilation).
Determine the impact of AT1001 on change from baseline in additional organ system(s) involvement during acute presentation/hospitalization, as identified by clinical assessment and clinical laboratory tests.
Determine the impact of AT1001 on change from baseline in levels of IgM, IgG, and IgA antibodies against SARS CoV-2.
Determine the impact of AT1001 on change from baseline in levels of inflammatory markers (CRP, d-dimer, ferritin).
Determine the impact of AT1001 on normalization of SARS-CoV-2 Spike, S1 and nucleocapsid.
Determine the impact of AT1001 on change from baseline in levels of zonulin.
Determine the impact of AT1001 on change in mortality (all causes)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AT1001 versus placebo in pediatric patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection who experience early signs of MIS-C and are at high risk of progression. AT1001 10 μg/kg/dose up to 500 μg/dose (rounded to the nearest 50 μg) or matching placebo will be administered orally four times a day (QID) to the standard of care for MIS-C.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 2a (Proof of Concept), randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AT1001 for use in hospitalized pediatric patients diagnosed with MIS-C. Eligible participants (N=20) will be treated with AT1001 or matching placebo orally four times a day (QID) for up to 21 days as an add-on to standard of care. The study includes three phases: Screening/Baseline: The main purpose of this phase is to determine if the participant meets entry criterion after obtaining informed consent and obtain baseline assessments. Treatment: Eligible participants will be treated with AT1001 or matching placebo 10 μg/kg/dose QID up to 500 μg/dose (rounded to the nearest 50 μg) for 21 days as an add-on to standard of care for MIS-C. Follow-up through 24 weeks: The participant will return for a follow-up visits during weekly clinic visits during Week 1 through Week 3, with monthly telemedicine visits at Week 4, Week 8, Week 16 and Week 20, and clinic visits at Week 12 and Week 24. Safety monitoring, including physical examination, vitals, and clinical laboratory testing will be performed during the screening phase, periodically during treatment phase and at the follow-up phase. Adverse events and concomitant medications will be recorded during the entire study. Total duration of the participants' participation in the study is approximately 24 weeks (with 21 days treatment period). Total duration of the study is projected to be 12 months, dependent on enrollment timeline.
