There are 3 clinical trials
Background: There are no proven therapies specific for Covid-19. The full spectrum of Covid-19 ranges from asymptomatic disease to mild respiratory tract illness to severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multiorgan failure, and death. The efficacy of corticosteroids in viral ARDS remains controversial. Methods: This is an internationally (Spain, Canada, China, USA) designed multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial testing dexamethasone in mechanically ventilated adult patients with established moderate-to-severe ARDS caused by confirmed Covid-19 infection, admitted in a network of Spanish ICUs. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive either dexamethasone plus standard intensive care, or standard intensive care alone. Patients in the dexamethasone group will receive an intravenous dose of 20 mg once daily from day 1 to day 5, followed by 10 mg once daily from day 6 to day 10. The primary outcome is 60-day mortality. The secondary outcome is the number of ventilator-free days at 28 days. All analyses will be done according to the intention-to-treat principle.
Description: All-cause mortality at 60 days after enrollment
Measure: 60-day mortality Time: 60 daysDescription: Number of ventilator-free days (VFDs) at Day 28 (defined as days being alive and free from mechanical ventilation at day 28 after enrollment, For patients ventilated 28 days or longer and for subjects who die, VFD is 0.
Measure: Ventilator-free days Time: 28 daysThe Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome COronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) is a new and recognized infectious disease of the respiratory tract. Most cases are mild or asymptomatic. However, around 5% of all patients develop Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), which is the leading mortality cause in these patients. Corticosteroids have been tested in deferent scenarios of ARDS, including viral pneumonia, and the early use of dexamethasone is safe and appears to reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation in ARDS patients. Nevertheless, no large, randomized, controlled trial was performed evaluating the role of corticosteroids in patients with ARDS due SARS-CoV2 virus. Therefore, the present study will evaluate the effectiveness of dexamethasone compared to control (no corticosteroids) in patients with moderate and severe ARDS due to SARS-CoV2 virus.
Description: Ventilator-free days, defined as alive and free from mechanical ventilation, at 28 days after randomization.
Measure: Ventilator-free days Time: 28 days after randomizationDescription: Evaluation of the clinical status of patients on the 15th day after randomization defined by the 6-point Ordinal Scale, this scale ranges from 1 (Not hospitalized) to 6 (Death) with higher scores meaning worse outcomes.
Measure: Evaluation of the clinical status Time: 15 days after randomizationDescription: All-cause mortality rates at 28 days after randomization.
Measure: All-cause mortality Time: 28 days after randomizationDescription: Number of days of mechanical ventilation from randomization to day 28.
Measure: Mechanical ventilation duration Time: 28 days after randomizationDescription: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Score 48 hours, 72 hours and 7 days after randomization
Measure: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Score Time: Score at 48 hours, 72 hours and 7 days after randomizationDescription: Intensive Care Unit free days, defined as alive and discharged from the intensive care unit, at 28 days after randomization.
Measure: Intensive Care Unit free days Time: 28 days after randomizationThe investigators reviewed the charts of SARS-CoV-2 patients with pneumonia and moderate to severely elevated CRP and worsening hypoxemia who were treated with early, short-term dexamethasone.
