Clinical Trials


1 MET-Covid Trial - METformin for Prevention and Outpatient Treatment of COVID-19

The purpose of this trial is to: 1. Determine whether metformin can reduce the severity of COVID-19 disease; 2. Determine whether metformin can prevent symptomatic COVID-19 disease; 3. Determine whether metformin can prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection (seroconversion of SARS-CoV2 antibody tests or PCR positivity)

NCT04510194 Covid19 SARS-CoV Infection Drug: Metformin Drug: Placebo
MeSH:Coronavirus Infections Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome

Primary Outcomes

Description: Outcome reported as the percent of participants in each arm who expire due to COVID-19 within 14 days of the initiation of treatment.

Measure: Rate of Death due to COVID-19

Time: 14 days

Description: Outcome reported as the percent of participants in each arm who are admitted to hospital due to COVID-19 within 14 days of the initiation of treatment.

Measure: Rate of Hospitalization due to COVID-19

Time: 14 days

Description: Outcome reported as the percent of participants in each arm who utilize emergency department services due to COVID-19 within 14 days of the initiation of treatment.

Measure: Rate of Emergency Department Utilization

Time: 14 days

Description: Outcome reported as the percent of participants in each arm who utilize urgent care services due to COVID-19 within 14 days of the initiation of treatment.

Measure: Rate of Urgent Care Utilization

Time: 14 days

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Outcome measured using a visual analog Scale of COVID-19 symptom maximum severity at days 14 and 28 among those who develop PCR or antibody positivity. Scale ranges from 1-10 with higher scores indicating great symptom severity.

Measure: Incidence of Possible COVID-19 Symptoms

Time: 14 days, 28 days

Description: Outcome reported as the percent of participants in each arm who discontinue use of the study drug due to any reason.

Measure: Incidence of all-cause study medicine discontinuation

Time: 28 days

Description: Outcome reported as the percent of participants who fall into each of 8 ordinal categories on days 7, 14, and 28 of study treatment. Death; Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19 related or otherwise); Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care; Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen; Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities.

Measure: Disease Severity Rating

Time: 7, 14, and 28 days

Description: The PROMIS Dyspnea (shortness of breath) item banks and pools assess self-reported Functional Limitations, Severity, Activity Motivation, Activity Requirements, Airborne Exposure, Assistant Devices Resources, Characteristics, Emotional Response, Task Avoidance and Time Extension as they related to dyspnea. The 33-item Severity bank assesses the severity of difficulty breathing during various specific activities. Each activity is rated in terms of degree of dyspnea (0 = no shortness of breath, 1 = mildly short of breath, 2 = moderately short of breath, 3 = severely short of breath) while engaging in the activity over the past 7 days. Total scores range from 0 to 99 with higher scores reflecting greater levels of dyspnea during daily activity.

Measure: Dyspnea Assessment (PROMIS survey)

Time: 28 days

Description: The PROMIS Gobal-10 is a 10-item short-form survey measuring symptoms, functioning, and healthcare-related quality of life for a wide variety of chronic diseases and conditions. Nine items are rated on a 5-point scale. Item 7 is rated on an 11-point scale and then transformed to a 5-point scale. Items 3, 6, 7, and 8 are scored in reverse. Item scores are summed to calculate a total raw score. Raw scores are then matched with a t-score using a scoring table. Outcome will be reported as t-score. T-scores range from 16.2 to 67.7 with higher scores indicating greater global health.

Measure: Global Health Survey (PROMIS survey)

Time: 28 days

Description: Outcome reported as the percent of participants in the treatment and placebo groups who contract SARS-CoV-2 during participation in the prevention arm of the study.

Measure: Seroconversion of SARS-Cov2 Antibodies OR SARS-Cov2 PCR Positivity (Prevention Cohort Only)

Time: up to 3 months
