About this study

Official title: TUSEB-Nasopharynx Microbiota Component and in Vitro Cytokines Production in Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)

The investigators will study nasopharunx microbiota composition, RNA sequences and in vitro cytokines production by peripheral blood cells of COVID-19 patients (both mild-moderate and severe cases) (comparing with convalescent patients and healthy controls).

Read the detailed description

The investigators will compare study parameters (basal) between mild-moderate and severe COVID-19 patients and with other study groups (i.e. convalescent and healthy controls). Nasopharunx microbiota dysbiosis, in vitro cytokines production profile, and peripheral blood flocytometric results of the four study groups will be compared.

In vitro cytokines production will be studied and compared in Nill (No antigens) and Mitojen (Cocktail of antigens) pre-prepared test tubes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of peripheral blood RNA microarray assay

    Four study groups, microarray Analysis .

    Measured: First day

  2. Determination of nasopharunx Microbiota analysis

    Four study groups, metagenomic analysis, to determine abundance and decrease of some species.

    Measured: 1st day

  3. Determination of in vitro cytokines production

    IL-2, IL-7, IL-10, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, interferon-p inducible protein 10, monocyte chemo-attracting protein 1, macrophage inflammatory protein 1-α and tumor necrosis factor-α in Nill (no angijen) and Mitojen (Cocktails of antigens)tubes (between 4 study groups)

    Measured: First day

  4. Determination of peripheral blood cytometry

    Four study groups, peripheral blood cytometry; CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD45 rates.

    Measured: First day

  5. Relation between study parameters

    determining the realtion between microbiotme dysbiosis, in vitro cytokines production and peripheral leymphocytes (CD3,CD4, CD8, and CD45) rates and the severity of COVID-19( if any)

    Measured: First day parameters

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid19, run by Başakşehir Çam & Sakura City Hospital at 2 sites 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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Contact Mehmet Hursitoglu, MD (+902129096000 ext. 20527, mehmet.hursitoglu@sbu.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determination of peripheral blood RNA microarray assay (time frame: First day). The study lists 5 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 NCT04708912, 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 24 Mar 2021.
