Abstract: Summary of clinical study results
Title of the study:
Industry Alliance Platform Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Multiple Candidate Agents
for the Treatment of COVID-19 in Hospitalized Patients
Short title of the study:
COVID-19 Multiple Agents and Modulators Unified Industry Members Trial (COMMUNITY)
What was the study about?
o learn whether 3 investigational medications worked and how safe they were. The
T
investigational medications were studied in participants hospitalized with a SARS-CoV-2
infection. SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes COVID-19.
Who sponsored the study?
mgen Inc. supported by its industry partners Takeda Development Center Americas, Inc and
A
UCB Biopharma SRL
What was tested?
here were 3 investigational medications tested: apremilast (marketed in some countries as
T
Otezla®), lanadelumab-IV, and zilucoplan (RA101495).

Why was the research needed?
Researchers were looking for a better way to treat people hospitalized with COVID-19. Researchers
look at the results of many studies to understand if a medicine might work for a specific condition.
It takes a lot of people in many studies all around the world to advance medical science.
Who took part in the study?
8
515
Countries
Adults aged 18 years or over who were hospitalized with COVID-19 were
eligible to take part. A total of 515 people took part across 8 countries.
What study medicine did participants receive?
Apremilast Lanadelumab-IV Zilucoplan
There were 3 investigational medications studied:
apremilast, lanadelumab-IV, and zilucoplan.
Participants were assigned to 1 of the 3
investigational medications or a placebo.
A placebo looks like an investigational medication, but has no actual medicine in it.
Placebo is used to better see the effects of the investigational medications being tested.
Placebo
Any of the 3 investigational medications or the placebo may be referred to as the
“study medicine”.
All participants also received the standard treatment (standard of care) for COVID-19 that
was available locally.
What were the main results of the study?
The main question the researchers wanted to answer was:
• Did any of the 3 investigational medications affect the time it took for people in the
hospital to recover from COVID-19?
Researchers also wanted to see if, after about a month from starting in the study, any of the
3 investigational medications affected the number of people who:
• improved or were able to leave the hospital
• had improved, been released from the hospital, and who no longer needed extra oxygen
• died.
Overall, researchers found that none of the..
