Trial summary

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of the current pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that can lead to respiratory failure requiring oxygen therapy. Some patients develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and may die despite intensive care therapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Recovery in Patients With SARS-CoV-2 Associated Respiratory Failure

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of the current pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that can lead to respiratory failure requiring oxygen therapy. Some patients develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and may die despite intensive care therapy. Currently it is unknown a) how fast patients recover after being discharged from hospital and b) what underlying predictors may influence recovery.

Read the detailed description

Study aims:

  • To evaluate subjective and objective recovery after discharge from hospital in patients with respiratory failure due to COVID-19.
  • To identify risk factors for COVID-19 associated respiratory failure and prolonged recovery
Conditions
SARS-CoV 2, COVID
Being tested
Questionnaires, spirometry

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Questionnaires, spirometryOther

    Questionnaires targeting health-related quality-of-life, symptoms, anxiety and depression

Study groups in NCT04365595
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SARS-CoV-2 associated respiratory failureParticipants will receive a daily HrQoL questionnaire on their personal smartphone using the docdok health application during 3 months. A selection of participants will furthermore receive a custom-built home disease monitoring device during 1 month. Both procedures start at least 4 weeks after hospital discharge.
Receives: Other: Questionnaires, spirometry

What is being measured

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

  1. Health-related quality-of-life

    European Quality of Life - 5 Dimensions - 5 Levels Instrument (EQ-5D-5L). Scoring: Index ranges from 1 to <0, with lower scores indicating more limitations.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Anxiety and depression

    Hospital Axiety and Depression Score (HADS). Scoring: Scores range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating more anxiety or depression symptoms.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Symptom burden

    COPD Assessment Test (CAT). Scoring: Scores range from 0-40, with higher scores indicating more symptoms due to respiratory limitations.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Spirometry

    Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) in liters and percent predicted.

    Measured: 1 month

  4. Spirometry

    Forced vital capacity (FVC) in liters and percent predicted.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of SARS-CoV 2 and COVID, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2021. 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 Switzerland. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Health-related quality-of-life (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04365595, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Feb 2021.
