Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • 1. Inclusion criteria
  • • Male or female
  • ≥16 years of age
  • SARS-CoV-2 infection (clinically suspected+ or laboratory confirmed\*).
  • Admitted to hospital as in-patient less than 96 hours prior to randomisation\^
  • Illness of any duration, and at least one of the following:
  • Radiographic infiltrates by imaging (e.g. chest x-ray, computed tomography (CT) scan) OR
  • Evidence of rales/crackles on physical examination OR
  • Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≤94% on room air prior to randomization OR
  • Requiring supplemental oxygen. OR
  • Lymphocyte count \<1 x 109 cells per litre (L)
  • Participant (or legally authorized representative) provides written informed consent
  • Able to take oral medication
  • Participant (or legally authorised representative) understands and agrees to comply with planned trial procedures.
  • Laboratory-confirmed: SARS-CoV-2 infection as determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or other commercial or public health assay in any specimen \< 96 hours prior to randomization.
  • Clinically suspected: in general, SARS-CoV-2 infection should be suspected when a patient presents with (i) typical symptoms (e.g. influenza-like illness with fever and muscle pain, or respiratory illness with cough and shortness of breath); and (ii) compatible chest X-ray findings (consolidation or ground-glass shadowing); and (iii) alternative causes have been considered unlikely or excluded (e.g. heart failure, influenza). However, the diagnosis remains a clinical one based on the opinion of the managing doctor
  • Where a patient has been admitted to hospital for a non COVID-19 reason and develops COVID-19 symptoms whilst an in-patient, randomisation may occur up to 96 hours from onset of symptoms.

Exclusion

  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \> 5 times the upper limit of normal, result within 72 hours of randomization (the result closest to randomization should be used if several results are available).
  • History of severe liver disease
  • Stage 4 severe chronic kidney disease or requiring dialysis (i.e. estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate \< 30), result within 72 hours of randomization (the result closest to randomization should be used if several results are available)
  • Absolute neutrophil count less than 1.0 x 109 cells per L within 72 hours of randomization (the result closest to randomization should be used if several results are available)
  • Current treatments with potent Cyp3A4 inducers/inhibitors (e.g Itraconazole, Ketoconazole, diltiazem, verapamil, phenytoin or rifampicin)
  • HIV treatments - current treatment with protease/integrase inhibitors or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors\*
  • Pregnant or breast feeding.
  • Anticipated transfer to another hospital which is not a trial site within 24 hours.
  • Allergy to Brensocatib
  • Use of any investigational drug within five times of the elimination half-life after the last trial dose or within 30 days, whichever is longer. Co-enrolment with COVID-19 trials is allowed as per co-enrolment agreements and/or individual decision by the Chief Investigator.
  • Women of child-bearing potential must be willing to have pregnancy testing prior to trial entry.
  • \*The Liverpool HIV checker (https://www.hiv-druginteractions.org/checker) should be used to check for any HIV drug interactions. Simvastatin could be used as a surrogate for Brensocatib as it metabolised similarly by CYP 3A4 pathway.
