About this study

The purpose of this open label, randomized, study is to obtain information on the safety and efficacy of 80 ppm Nitric Oxide given in addition to the standard of care of patients with COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2.

Read the detailed description

Nitric Oxide (NO) is a small endogenously produced molecule recognized to play a critical role in the function of several body systems including the vasodilatation of smooth muscle, neurotransmission, regulation of wound healing and inhibition of pathogens. In-vitro studies have shown that NO inhibits the replication cycle of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS CoV) in vitro. The suggested mechanisms of actions of NO on SARS are an effect on the fusion between the S protein and its cognate receptor, ACE2, and reduction in viral RNA production in the early steps of viral replication. The primary aim of this feasibility study is to investigate the safety of intermittent NO, delivered via inhalation, in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. The primary endpoint in the study will be time to deterioration of respiratory symptoms determined by escalation to either non-invasive ventilation (NIV), high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), or intubation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nitric Oxide delivered via LungFit™ system in people with Corona Virus Infection and COVID-19, run by Beyond Air Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 16 Dec 2022. 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 United States. 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: Slow recruitment). 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?

Time to deterioration (time frame: 14 Days). 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 16 Dec 2022.
