About this study

The observational study will be carried out in two stages. At the first stage, the efficacy and safety of Aprotinin intravenous infusion as add-on therapy to the standard of care will be studied. At the second stage, two groups will be included: the first group will be the inhaled Aprotinin add-on therapy, the second group will be intravenous Aprotinin in combination with Favipiravir.

Read the detailed description

Primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Aprotinin as add-on therapy in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 using the following parameters:

  • The time to elimination of SARS-CoV-2 virus until Day 10;
  • The time to C-reactive protein (CRP) normalization until Day 10;
  • The time to D-dimer normalization until Day 10.

Secondary objectives are to evaluate the following parameters of efficacy and safety of Aprotinin add-on therapy in patients hospitalized with COVID-19:

  • The time to body temperature normalization (<37oC);
  • Changes from baseline of the laboratory parameters during 14 days: hematology, CRP, coagulogram;
  • Changes of lung injury on CT scan on Day 7 and Day 14 from baseline;
  • Frequency of clinical status improvement by 2 scores in accordance with the WHO Ordinal scale of clinical improvement (WHO-OSCI) or discharge from the hospital before Day 14;
  • Frequency of transfer to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), frequency of the non-invasive ventilation, frequency of the invasive ventilation and mortality rate;
  • Frequency of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) of various severity according to subjective complains, physical examination, vital signs, laboratory tests and ECG.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aprotinin in people with COVID-19, run by Aviron LLC at 1 site in Russia.

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 10 inclusion and 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 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 Russia. 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?

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 elimination of SARS-CoV-2 virus (time frame: 10 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Aug 2020.
