1 Use of Defibrotide to Reduce Progression of Acute Respiratory Failure Rate in Patients With COVID-19 Pneumonia

Phase II, prospective, interventional, single-arm, multicentric, open label trial, with a parallel retrospective collection of data on not treated patients from IRCCS, San Raffaele Scientific Institute included in the institutional observational study. A sample of 50 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia will allow to detect an absolute reduction in the rate of Respiratory-failure at day+14 after treatment of 20%, assuming that the actual rate of failure in the corresponding not treated patients is 70% (alpha=5%, power=90%, two-sided test). The software PASS15 was used for calculations. The study will also include a parallel retrospective group of temporally concomitant patients from IRCCS, San Raffaele Scientific Institute, who did not receive an experimental treatment and who are enrolled in an already IRB approved observational study

NCT04335201 Patients With COVID-19 Pneumonia Will Allow to Detect an Absolute Reduction in the Rate of Respiratory-failure Drug: Defibrotide Injection
MeSH:Pneumonia Respiratory Insufficiency
HPO:Pneumonia

Primary Outcomes

Description: To demonstrate that the treatment with Defibrotide administered intravenously in addition to the best available therapy according to institutional guidelines (protease inhibitors antiviral treatment and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and if needed, metilprednisolone is able to reduce the progression of acute respiratory failure, the need of mechanical ventilation, the transfer to the intensive care unit or death, in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Patients with a baseline PaO2/FiO2 >= 200: progression of respiratory failure is defined by: severe gas transfer deficit (PaO2/FiO2 < 200); persistent respiratory distress while receiving oxygen (persistent marked dyspnea, use of accessory respiratory muscles, paradoxical respiratory movements); transfer to the intensive care unit; death. The rate will be calculated as the proportion of patients who experienced at least one of the events above by day+14 from treatment start.

Measure: to able to reduce the progression of acute respiratory failure

Time: 14 days

Secondary Outcomes

Description: To evaluate the safety of Defibrotide will be analyzed the frequency and incidence of Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0

Measure: Adverse events

Time: 7 days

Description: evaluate the time of hospitalization that will determine how much and how the administration of defibrotide can resolve the infection

Measure: duration of hospitalization

Time: 14 days

Description: To evaluate the level of PCR, LDH, ferritin, IL-10, IL-6, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, PTX3 at day +7 and +14 after start of treatment with Defibrotide. performed per day. Laboratory values performed at day 7 and 14 will be analyzed and compared with each other to understand their progress.

Measure: systemic inflammation

Time: 14 days

Description: To evaluate the overall survival at day+28 after start treatment with Defibrotide

Measure: overall survival

Time: 28 days
