Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Recombinant Human Plasma Gelsolin
Other interventions - Normal Saline Placebo

Experimental: Single Dose 6 mg/kg - Intravenous administration of recombinant human plasma gelsolin at 6 mg/kg v. placebo (NSS) in addition to standard of care

Experimental: Multiple Dose 6 mg/kg - Intravenous administration of recombinant human plasma gelsolin at 6 mg/kg once per day for 3 days v. placebo (NSS) in addition to standard of care

Experimental: Multiple Dose 12 mg/kg - Intravenous administration of recombinant human plasma gelsolin at 12 mg/kg once per day for 3 days v. placebo (NSS) in addition to standard of care

Experimental: Multiple Dose 24 mg/kg - Intravenous administration of recombinant human plasma gelsolin at 24 mg/kg once per day for 3 days v. placebo (NSS) in addition to standard of care


Treatment: Drugs: Recombinant Human Plasma Gelsolin
Recombinant human plasma gelsolin lyophilized for reconstitution, reconstituted in sterile water

Other interventions: Normal Saline Placebo
Normal saline in volume equivalent to drug

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 0 0
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Timepoint [1] 0 0
0-28 days
Secondary outcome [1] 0 0
Pharmacokinetics (PK) (Area Under the Rhu-pGSN Concentration - Time Curve)
Timepoint [1] 0 0
On Days 0-3, specimens were obtained just prior and immediately post dose and 2, 8,12 and/or 16 , and 24 hours post completion of IV administration. In the single-dose arm, only 1 dose was given and thus no data from later days were obtained.
Secondary outcome [2] 0 0
Pharmacokinetics (PK) (Maximum Observed Rhu-pGSN Plasma Concentration (Cmax))
Timepoint [2] 0 0
On Days 0-3, specimens were obtained just prior and immediately post dose and 2, 8, 12 and/or 16, and 24 hours post completion of IV administration. In the single-dose arm, only 1 dose was given and thus no data from later days were obtained.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Informed consent obtained from subject

2. Domicile: home, assisted living, rehabilitation facility, or nursing home (as long as
the prospective participant is capable of providing written informed consent)

3. Duration of infection precipitating hospitalization by history <14 days

4. Planned or actual admission to hospital with a primary diagnosis of CAP within 24
hours of presentation to the hospital

5. Primary admitting diagnosis of pneumonia supported by a compatible clinical
presentation with a documented infiltrate consistent with pneumonia on chest
radiograph or CT, as assessed by the admitting emergency-department (ED), clinic, or
ward physician or equivalent caregiver

- Recommended (not mandatory) guidance/discretionary criteria defining patients
with CAP:

- At least 2 symptoms: difficulty breathing, cough, production of purulent
sputum, chest pain

- At least 2 vital sign abnormalities: fever, tachycardia, tachypnea

- At least one finding of other clinical signs and laboratory abnormalities:
hypoxemia, clinical evidence of pulmonary consolidation, an elevated total
white blood cell (WBC) count or leukopenia

- Chest imaging showing new (or presumed new or worsening) infiltrates

- Receipt of antibiotic treatment prior to presentation does not exclude the
patient
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Pregnant or lactating women

2. Intubation, vasopressor support, or admission to the intensive care unit (ICU)
directly from the ED/office (fluids for responsive hypotension is not a reason for
exclusion)

3. Use of any investigational drug in the past 30 days

4. Hospitalization during the last 30 days

5. Residence within the last 30 days in long-term care facility where the patient remains
persistently unable to participate in the routine activities of daily living

6. Active underlying cancer treated with systemic chemotherapy or radiation therapy
during the last 30 days

7. Known or suspected immunosuppressive disease or therapy (including steroid use
equivalent to prednisone =20 mg/day for >7 days or known advanced human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection with CD4 count =200/mm3; specific testing for
HIV status or CD4 count is not required but can be done at the discretion of the
caregivers)

8. Active congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, or pulmonary embolism;
cardiopulmonary arrest in last 30 days

9. Weight >100 kg

10. Otherwise unsuitable for study participation in the opinion of the investigator
