There are 2 clinical trials
The study researchers think that a medication called N-acetylcysteine can help fight the COVID-19 virus by boosting a type of cell in your immune system that attacks infections. By helping your immune system fight the virus, the researchers think that the infection will get better, which could allow the patient to be moved out of the critical care unit or go off a ventilator, or prevent them from moving into a critical care unit or going on a ventilator. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved N-acetylcysteine to treat the liver side effects resulting from an overdose of the anti-inflammatory medication Tylenol® (acetaminophen). N-acetylcysteine is also used to loosen the thick mucus in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study is the first to test N-acetylcysteine in people with severe COVID-19 infections.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in preventing those with mild or moderate COVID-19 from progressing to severe disease
Description: Decrease in dyspnea measured by respiratory rate (RR)
Measure: Decrease in Respiratory Rate Time: First hour after first dose of NACDescription: Hospital LOS for admitted patients
Measure: Hospital length of stay (LOS) Time: Through study completion, average 9 monthsDescription: Whether a patient needed mechanical ventilation (intubation)
Measure: Need for mechanical ventilation Time: Through study completion, average 9 monthsDescription: If intubated, how long needing mechanical ventilation
Measure: Length of time intubated Time: Through study completion, average 9 monthsDescription: Outpatients on NAC needing admission to the hospital
Measure: Need for hospitalization Time: Through study completion, average 9 monthsDescription: Whether outpatients continued to recover as outpatients; whether admitted patients were managed on medical floors or level of care increased to ICU level of care; whether patients expired
Measure: Recovery disposition Time: Through study completion, average 9 months
