Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study Examining PrEP-001 in Healthy Subjects (NCT NCT03220048)

NCT ID: NCT03220048

Last Updated: 2019-11-12

Results Overview

Area Under the Curve (AUC) of total symptom scores (upper respiratory tract (URT), lower respiratory tract (LRT) and systemic viral symptoms (SVS)). Total symptom scores (from the symptom diary card) were used to calculate the AUC. The time unit used was minutes. Thus, the AUC unit is the total symptom score multiplied by the time period from first to last assessment in minutes (i.e score\*mins). The minimum AUC value would be 0, for a subject who did not report any symptoms. The maximum AUC value is not provided as it would be theoretical only, with no real meaning in terms of severity. Higher scores indicate worse outcome than lower scores.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 days

Area Under the Curve (AUC) of total symptom scores (upper respiratory tract (URT), lower respiratory tract (LRT) and systemic viral symptoms (SVS)). Total symptom scores (from the symptom diary card) were used to calculate the AUC. The time unit used was minutes. Thus, the AUC unit is the total symptom score multiplied by the time period from first to last assessment in minutes (i.e score\*mins). The minimum AUC value would be 0, for a subject who did not report any symptoms. The maximum AUC value is not provided as it would be theoretical only, with no real meaning in terms of severity. Higher scores indicate worse outcome than lower scores.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 days

Using the scheduled protocol assessments from Day 1 to Day 8, this endpoint represented the highest total symptom score (defined as the sum of all 10 individual composite symptoms). The minimum value, for subjects who had no symptoms, would be 0. The maximum value would be 30. Higher scores indicate worse outcome than lower scores.
