About this study

Official title: Prospective, Parallel, Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study Investigating the Effects of UVC Beam and Laser Beam Therapy According to Standard Therapy in Patients With Covid-19 Diagnosis

Clinical research study that evaluates the effect of Turkish Beam-Selective UV developed by RD GLOBAL ARAŞTIRMA GELİŞTİRME SAĞLIK İLAÇ İNŞAAT YATIRIMLARI A.Ş. use into Intravascular, Intrapulmonary, Intratracial, Intrarespiratory area. Bacteria, Fungal and Virus-based pathogens systematically to collect and evaluate specific clinical performance and safety data.

This Clinical Research aims to investigate the effectiveness of the treatment group and control group mortality rates, intensive care hospitalization times, monitoring the virus load by PCR, and the treatment effectiveness of UVC application.

This Clinical Research covers determining the treatment effectiveness and reliability of UVC application to patient groups, the details of which are determined in the protocol.

DESIGN

Prospective, parallel, multicentre, randomized controlled study Ages between 40 and 75 years of age and positive symptoms such as fever, malaise, cough, and shortness of breath, or positive atypical pneumonia in CT findings or COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) test In the intensive care unit, which is accepted as COVID 19 infection and has been treated, patients will be treated with UVC radiation and laser beam treatment according to IKU principles in addition to Antimalarial therapy + Antiviral therapy + Anitibiotic therapy. Standard treatment consisting of Antimalarial therapy + Antiviral therapy + Antibiotic therapy will be applied to the control group. The dosage of the standard treatment consisting of antimalarial therapy + Antiviral therapy + Anitibiotic therapy, the number of days of treatment, and its active ingredient are indicated in the table.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Test Group: experimental - UVC Therapy applied in people with Covid19, run by RD Global Araştirma Geliştirme Sağlik Ilaç Inşaat Yatirimlari A.Ş. at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 9 inclusion and 6 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 24 Nov 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

PCR Sampling (time frame: up to 15 days). The study lists 16 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04642326, which also lists 11 linked publications.

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 24 Nov 2020.
