Clinical Trials


1 SMART Trial: Steroid Dosing by bioMARker Guided Titration in Critically Ill Patients With Pneumonia

In community acquired pneumonia, corticosteroids have been shown to have potential benefit. However, the limited and variable use of adjunctive corticosteroids in critically ill patients is largely due to an inability to identify patients that will benefit from the use of anti-inflammatory medications. This study compares usual care to a novel biomarker-tailored steroid dosing algorithm for patients with community acquired pneumonia. In April 2020, in response to the SARS CoV-2 pandemic, we added a COVID-19 arm to this study. The study will evaluate the role of biomarker-titrated adjuvant corticosteroid administration compared to usual care in patients admitted to hospital with SARS CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection and acute respiratory failure.

5 COlchicine in Moderate-severe Hospitalized Patients Before ARDS to Treat COVID-19 (the COMBAT-COVID-19 Pilot Study)

The most prevalent complication of COVID-19 infection is respiratory failure from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the leading cause of mortality. There is increasing indication that the decompensation in severe COVD-19 infection may be due to a cytokine storm syndrome. This hyperinflammatory syndrome results in a fulminant and fatal hypercytokinemia and multiorgan failure. Approximately 15% of patients with COVID-19 infection are hospitalized and 20-30% of these hospitalized patients require ICU care and/or mechanical ventilation. Overall mortality in hospitalized patients is approximately 20-25%. There is significant interest in therapies that can be given upstream to reduce the rate of mechanical ventilation and thus mortality. We hypothesize that treatment with colchicine in COVID-19 moderate-severe patients may decrease the risk of progression into ARDS requiring increased oxygen requirements, mechanical ventilation, and mortality.
