There is one clinical trial.
Several studies have suggested a potential clinical benefit of controlling hyper inflammation triggered by SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19. Blood purification, the removal of excessive proinflammatory mediators may control disease progression and support clinical recovery. For this purpose, COVID-19 patients might benefit from treatment with AN69ST hemofilter based extracorporeal blood purification.
Description: Systemic levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α are evaluated to assess the effect of blood purification. Measurement points: at admission, "before and after a blood purification cycle" and before discharge
Measure: Changes in cytokine levels of Interleukin (IL) 6, IL-8 and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (pg/mL) Time: Hospitalisation window, day 0 until day 14 or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)Description: Systemic levels of proinflammatory mediators are measured as a marker for disease severity. Measurement points: at admission, "before and after a blood purification cycle" and before discharge.
Measure: Changes in inflammatory markers; C-Reactive Protein (CRP) (mg/L) Time: Hospitalisation window, day 0 until day 14 or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)Description: Systemic levels of thrombocytes are measured as a marker for disease severity. Measurement points: at admission, "before and after a blood purification cycle" and before discharge.
Measure: Changes in thrombocyte counts (10^3 counts/microL) Time: Hospitalisation window, day 0 until day 14 or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)Description: Coagulation markers will be followed to assess the effect of systemic heparinisation, Measurement points, at admission, "before and after a blood purification cycle" and before discharge
Measure: Changes in the coagulation marker Fibrinogen (g/L) Time: Hospitalisation window, day 0 until day 14 or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)Description: Duration of intensive care will be determined in relation to the number of blood purification cycles Patients will be followed for the duration of ICU stay.
Measure: ICU length of stay after admission (days) Time: An expected average of 4 - 14 hospitalisation days or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)Description: Systemic levels of proinflammatory mediators are measured as a marker for disease severity. Measurement points: at admission, "before and after a blood purification cycle" and before discharge.
Measure: Changes in Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Time: Hospitalisation window, day 0 until day 14 or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)Description: Coagulation markers will be followed to assess the effect of systemic heparinisation, Measurement points, at admission, "before and after a blood purification cycle" and before discharge
Measure: Changes in the coagulation marker D-Dimers (ng/mL) Time: Hospitalisation window, day 0 until day 14 or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)Description: Coagulation markers will be followed to assess the effect of systemic heparinisation, Measurement points, at admission, "before and after a blood purification cycle" and before discharge
Measure: Changes in the Activation Clotting Time (seconds). Time: Hospitalisation window, day 0 until day 14 or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)
