There is one clinical trial.
The purpose of this study is to determine if temporary androgen suppression improves the clinical outcomes of Veterans who are hospitalized to an acute care ward due to COVID-19.
Description: Determine if degarelix + best supportive care (BSC) as compared to placebo + BSC reduces the composite endpoint of mortality, ongoing need for hospitalization, or requirement for mechanical ventilation/extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at Day 15 after randomization.
Measure: A composite endpoint of mortality, ongoing need for hospitalization, or requirement for mechanical ventilation/extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at Day 15 after randomization. Time: 15 daysDescription: Determine if degarelix + BSC as compared to placebo + BSC reduces time to clinical improvement as defined by a decline of 2 categories or more from the baseline on the modified 7-category ordinal scale of clinical status of hospitalized influenza patients or hospital discharge whichever comes first.
Measure: Time to clinical improvement Time: Through study completion/discharge (an average of 30 days with a maximum of 4 months)Description: Determine if degarelix + BSC as compared to placebo + BSC reduces inpatient mortality.
Measure: Inpatient mortality Time: Through study completion/discharge (an average of 30 days with a maximum of 4 months)Description: Determine if degarelix + BSC as compared to placebo + BSC shortens the duration of hospitalization.
Measure: Duration of hospitalization Time: Through study completion/discharge (an average of 30 days with a maximum of 4 months)Description: Determine if degarelix + BSC as compared to placebo + BSC shortens the duration of intubation for mechanical ventilation.
Measure: Duration of intubation for mechanical ventilation. Time: Through study completion/discharge (an average of 30 days with a maximum of 4 months)Description: Determine if degarelix + BSC as compared to placebo + BSC reduces the time to normalization of temperature (T < 37.5 for 48 hours)
Measure: Time to normalization of temperature. Time: Through study completion/discharge (an average of 30 days with a maximum of 4 months)Description: Determine if degarelix + BSC as compared to placebo + BSC reduces the maximum severity of COVID-19 illness based on the modified 7-category ordinal scale of clinical status of hospitalized influenza patients. Score range 1-7, higher scores equals worse outcome.
Measure: Maximum severity of COVID19 illness. Time: Through study completion/discharge (an average of 30 days with a maximum of 4 months)Description: Determine if degarelix + best supportive care (BSC) as compared to placebo + BSC reduces the composite endpoint of mortality, ongoing need for hospitalization, or requirement for mechanical ventilation/extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at Day 30 after randomization.
Measure: A composite endpoint of mortality, ongoing need for hospitalization, or requirement for mechanical ventilation/extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at Day 30 after randomization. Time: 30 days
