Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Phase 2 - Percentage of Participants With Composite Endpoint of Clinical Events
Composite event is defined as the onset of at least one of the following events: supplemental oxygen requirement based on a worsening of PaO2/FiO2 ratio, invasive mechanical ventilation use, admission to Intensive Care Unit (ICU), use of a rescue medication for any reason. Please note that in the measure type "number" actually is a "rate" of patients. Rate is referred to a binomial response rate while the 95% CIs are estimated by using the Clopper-Pearson's method

Secondary Outcome Measures

Phase 2 - Percentage of Patients With Improvement in Clinical Severity Score (as Recommended by WHO for COVID Studies) of at Least Two Points
Changes in clinical severity score are defined as the time to clinical improvement of two points from the time of randomization on a seven-category ordinal scale or live discharge from the hospital, whichever came first. The seven-category ordinal scale consisted of the following: 1) not hospitalized, with resumption of normal activities; 2) not hospitalized, but unable to resume normal activities; 3) hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen; 4) hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 5) hospitalized, requiring high-flow oxygen therapy, non-invasive mechanical ventilation, or both; 6) hospitalized, requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), invasive mechanical ventilation, or both; and 7) death. The higher the score, the worse the outcome. A subject is considered "improved" with a clinical severity score improvement of at least two points compared to randomization or live discharge from the hospital. n are the subjects improved at each time point vs baseline.
Phase 2 - Percentage of Improved Subjects in Dyspnea Severity, Assessed by Liker Scale
The severity of dyspnea can be measured through the Liker scale. The Liker scale is used as follows: the patient grades his current breathing compared to when he first started the drug (from -3 to 3). "0" = no change, "1" =minimally better, "2" =moderately better, "3" =markedly better, "-1" =minimally worse, "-2" =moderately worse, "-3" =markedly worse. The higher the score, the better the outcome. N is the number of subjects for which the evaluation of the dyspnea severity scale at each time point is available. n is the number of subjects improved at each time point in comparison with the randomization.
Phase 2 - Change From Baseline in Dyspnea Severity, Assessed by VAS Scale
The severity of dyspnea is measured also through the VAS scale. The VAS scale is used as follows: the patient draws a horizontal line on an axial graph (from 0 to 100) to show the degree of how he feels about breathing. The number "0" equals the worst breathing the patient has ever felt and the number "100" equals the best he has ever felt. N is the number of subjects for which the evaluation of the dyspnea severity scale at each time point is available. n is the number of subjects improved at each time point in comparison with the randomization.
Changes From Baseline in Body Temperature to Any Post-baseline Timepoints
Variations in the mean body temperature from baseline to any post-baseline timepoint were assessed. n is the number of subjects for which the evaluation of the body temperature at each time point is available.
Phase 2 - Percentage of Subjects Worsened, During Supplemental Oxygen Treatment, From Randomization According to PaO2/FiO2
Cumulative quantity of oxygen treatment (L) = Sum of all Quantity (L) in CONCOMITANT OXYGEN TREATMENT form, from randomization to time point of interest. According to PaO2/FiO2, the classification is 'mild' if 200 <= PaO2/FiO2 < 300 mmHg, 'moderate' if 100 <= PaO2/FiO2 < 200 mmHg, 'severe' if PaO2/FiO2 < 100 mmHg. A patient with ARDS (PaO2/FiO2<300 mmHg) is considered 'worsened' in case of a decrease of PaO2/FiO2 of at least one third (-33,3%) from the baseline PaO2/FiO2 value. NOTE that: N is the number of subjects for which the evaluation of the PaO2/FiO2 ratio at each time point is available. While n is the number of subjects worsened at each time point in comparison with the randomization, expressed in percentage.
Phase 2 - Percentage of Subjects Worsened, During Supplemental Oxygen Treatment, From Randomization According to Oxygen Delivery System Classification
Duration of oxygen administration (hours) = Administration end date/time - Administration start date/time / 60. N is the number of subjects for which the evaluation of the Oxygen Delivery System Classification at each time point is available. n is the number of subjects worsened at each time point, expressed in percentage, in comparison with the randomization. According to Oxygen Delivery System, the classification is 'invasive' if there is Invasive Medicinal Ventilation or ECMO, else 'high flow' if there is High Flow Nasal Cannula or BIPAP or CPAP, else 'low flow' if there is Nasal Cannula or Mask then Class=Low Flow Classification. A patient is considered 'Worsened' after baseline if there is an increase in the level of severity within the oxygen delivery system classification (Invasive > High Flow > Low Flow).
Phase 2 - Oxygen Cumulative Duration During the Study
This outcome assesses the oxygen cumulative duration during the study. N is the number of subjects for which the evaluation of the PaO2/FiO2 ratio or Oxygen Delivery System Classification at each time point is available. n is the number of subjects worsened at each time point in comparison with the randomization.
Phase 2 - Oxygen Cumulative Quantity During the Study
In this endpoint is assessed the oxygen cumulative quantity needed at each single timepoint. N is the number of subjects for which the evaluation of the PaO2/FiO2 ratio or Oxygen Delivery System Classification at each time point is available. n is the number of subjects worsened at each time point in comparison with the randomization.
Phase 2 - Percentage of Subjects Requiring Mechanical Ventilation Use, Overall
Percentage along with the 95% confidence interval (Clopper-Pearson's formula) of subjects requiring mechanical ventilation are calculated and compared. N is the number of subjects for which the evaluation of the use of mechanical ventilation is available. n is the number, expressed in percentage, of subjects requiring mechanical ventilation, overall.
Phase 2 - Cumulative Duration of Mechanical Ventilation Use, Overall
Cumulative duration of mechanical ventilation (in hours) = Sum of duration of mechanical ventilation (hours) in mechanical ventilation form, from randomization to time point of interest. Duration of mechanical ventilation (hours) = End date/time - Start date/time / 60. n is the number of subjects for which the evaluation of the use of mechanical ventilation is available
Phase 2 - Percentage of Subjects With Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Admission Need
Percentage, along with the 95% confidence interval (Clopper-Pearson's formula), of subjects requiring ICU admission are calculated and compared.N is the number of subjects for which the evaluation of the ICU admission need is available.
Phase 2 - Cumulative ICU Stay
Cumulative ICU stay was assessed at different timepoints and measured in days
Phase 2 - Lung Damage Extension by Severity and by Timepoint
Lung damage extensions is assessed by Chest CT or Rx. This damage can be as follows: "none", "trace", "mild", "moderate", or "severe". N is the number of subjects for which the evaluation of the lung damage extension at each time point is available.
Phase 2 - Lung Exudation by Severity and by Timepoint
Lung exudation is assessed by Chest CT or Rx. This can be as follows: "none", "trace", "mild", "moderate", or "severe". N is the number of subjects for which the evaluation of the lung damage extension at each time point is available.
Phase 2 - Change From Baseline in Partial Arterial Oxygen Pressure (PaO2)
PaO2 measures the pressure of oxygen dissolved in the blood and how well oxygen is able to move from the airspace of the lungs into the blood. Normally, PaO2 is between 75 and 100 mmHg (at sea level). Lower levels indicate an unsufficient amount of oxygen flowing from the alveoli to the blood. Please note that a significant proportion of patients in both groups did not have post-baseline assessments of PaO2.
Phase 2 - Change From Baseline in Oxygen Saturation (SpO2)
SpO2 measures the amount of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in the blood relative to the amount of hemoglobin not carrying oxygen. Acceptable normal ranges for patients without pulmonary pathology are from 95 to 99 percent.
Phase 2 - Partial Arterial Oxygen Pressure (PaO2) to Fraction of Inspiration O2 (FiO2) Ratio [PaO2/FiO2 Ratio]
PaO2/FiO2 ratio is the ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2 in mmHg) to fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2 expressed as a fraction, not a percentage) also known as the Horowitz index, the Carrico index, and (most conveniently) the P/F ratio at sea level, the normal PaO2/FiO2 ratio is ~ 400-500 mmHg (~55-65 kPa).
Phase 2 - Change From Baseline in Reactive Protein (CRP)
For a standard CRP test, a normal reading is less than 10 milligram per liter (mg/L). Levels between 10 mg/L and 100 mg/L are moderately elevated and are usually due to more significant inflammation from an infectious or non-infectious cause. Inflammatory status is documented by C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥ 100mg/L.

Detailed Description
This clinical trial is an adaptive phase 2/3, randomized, controlled multicenter study on the efficacy and safety of Reparixin in the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. 48 patients are planned to be enrolled in Phase 2 and an estimated total of 111 patients are planned to be enrolled up to the end of Phase 3, with a randomization 2:1 Reparixin vs Control (Standard of care). In the phase 2 segment of this study, patients are randomized 2:1 to Reparixin oral tablets 1200 mg (Group 1, active treatment) or standard of care (Group 2, control arm). In case of worsening (e.g. need of ICU and/or mechanical ventilation) after the first 24hrs, patients are offered a rescue medication with no restriction from the sponsor and fully based on their physicians' judgement. In the phase 3 segment of this study, it is planned that patients are randomized 2:1 to Reparixin or standard of care. The Phase 3 design will be reassessed and decided based on the results of the Phase 2.
