TICO/ACTIV-3/INSIGHT-014
Does giving patients hospitalised with COVID-19 a synthetically made antibody that blocks the virus make them get better more quickly?
A Multicenter, Adaptive, Randomized, Blinded Controlled Trial of the Safety and Efficacy of Investigational Therapeutics for Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19
What is this study about?
TICO is an international master protocol evaluating the safety and effectiveness of multiple new investigational agents, including neutralising antibodies that work by blocking SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
This master protocol is adaptive – which means it is flexible. Participants will be randomised to receive the new investigational agent(s) in addition to the current standard-of-care which includes the antiviral drug, remdesivir. TICO will enrol thousands of adults hospitalised with COVID-19. Any investigational agent(s) shown to be effective, will become the new ‘standard-of-care’ treatment, with far reaching global benefits.
