BE A HERO: VOLUNTEER FOR CLINICAL TRIAL OF COVID-19 THERAPIES


Study Title:
 ACTIV-2 Outpatient Monoclonal Antibodies and other Therapies (ACTG A5401).

Study Description:
ACTIV-2 is a randomized, blinded, controlled adaptive platform that allows promising investigational agents to be added and removed over the course of the study, in order to efficiently test a variety of new agents against placebo within the same trial infrastructure.

ACTIV-2 will evaluate the safety and efficacy of investigational agents to treat adults who have COVID-19 illness but do not require hospitalization. The study will also enable researchers to assess the correlation between changes in viral shedding and clinical outcomes, leading to a better understanding of whether effective medications can reduce or halt the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) to others.

Why is this study being done?
To rapidly and efficiently evaluate multiple potential therapeutics for COVID-19 in an outpatient setting.

Who can join?
  • Ambulatory Adult (18 years or older)
  • Active SARS-CoV-2 infection <7 days prior to Entry
  • At least one typical COVID-19 symptom for <10 days prior to Entry, plus one the following symptoms present within 48 hours of entry: 
    • Fever or feeling feverish, cough, shortness of breath at rest or with activity, sore throat, body or muscle pain, fatigue, headache, chills
Duration of study: 28 days of intensive follow-up, followed by limited follow-up through 24 weeks.
