About this study

Starting an early home management and monitoring of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 to ensure a rapid and adequate transfer to hospital care.

Assess the feasibility of home monitoring in a pilot study to possibly extend it to a larger scale.

Read the detailed description

The study will include adult patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 for whom home care is considered appropriate.

Trained health workers will conduct home care monitoring of pulmonary performance using oximetry, Quick Walk Test and Single Breath Count.

Monitoring will be done daily until disappearance of symptoms or hospitalization which will be requested by health workers or study coordination board on the basis of the monitoring results (blood oxygen level SpO2< 90% OR SpO2> 90% with desaturation index of at least 5% at Quick Walk Test)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. SpO2 at hospital entry

    Peripheral blood saturation measured on arrival to the hospital

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. in-hospital mortality

    death during hospitalization

    Measured: 30 days

  2. need of intubation

    need of intubation

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Percentage of hospitalized patients among those with recommendation of hospitalization

    To evaluate the feasibility of active monitoring, we will consider the percentage of patients who will be actually hospitalized within 24 hours after the recommendation of hospitalization

    Measured: 30 days

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing home care monitoring in people with COVID-19, run by Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: interrupted early due to the drastic reduction in the number of cases). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

SpO2 at hospital entry (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Sep 2020.
