What is being measured

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

  1. Combined variable: mortality or worsening rate with need for non-invasive mechanical ventilation or with need for invasive mechanical ventilation

    Combined variable: mortality or worsening rate with need for non-invasive mechanical ventilation or with need for invasive mechanical ventilation

    Measured: At day 31 after randomization or hospital discharge (whichever occurs first)

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Time to clinical improvement (decreased risk of developing SARS or death)

    Time (in days) to improvement in the National Early Warning (NEWS) Score 2. Defined as the time, in days, from the start of treatment a two-point improvement on this scale.

    Measured: At day 31 after randomization or hospital discharge (whichever occurs first)

  2. Evaluate the improvement of the oxygenation index - PaO2 / FiO2- at 24 and 48 hours.

    Evaluate the improvement of the oxygenation index - PaO2 / FiO2- at 24 and 48 hours.

    Measured: At 24 and 48 hours.

  3. Improvement of the analytical parameters: time (in days) until the tendency to normalization (decrease >= 20%) of DD, ferritin, LDH, PCR and IL-6; the criteria reached before will be used.

    Improvement of the analytical parameters: time (in days) until the tendency to normalization (decrease >= 20%) of DD, ferritin, LDH, PCR and IL-6; the criteria reached before will be used.

    Measured: At day 31 after randomization or hospital discharge (whichever occurs first)

  4. Time (in days) until improvement in oxygenation: - Time until the SpO2 / FiO2 ratio exceeds the worst SpO2 / FiO2 prior to AT treatment.

    Time until the absence of oxygen need to maintain a basal saturation >= 92%.

    Measured: At day 31 after randomization or hospital discharge (whichever occurs first)

  5. Time to radiological improvement in radiological report.

    Time to radiological improvement in radiological report.

    Measured: At day 31 after randomization or hospital discharge (whichever occurs first)

  6. Time (in days) of non-invasive mechanical ventilation.

    Time (in days) of non-invasive mechanical ventilation.

    Measured: At day 31 after randomization or hospital discharge (whichever occurs first)

  7. Time (in days) of invasive mechanical ventilation.

    Time (in days) of invasive mechanical ventilation.

    Measured: At day 31 after randomization or hospital discharge (whichever occurs first)

  8. Mortality rate in hospital and one month after pharmacological intervention.

    Mortality rate in hospital and one month after pharmacological intervention.

    Measured: One month after pharmacological intervention.

  9. Percentage of patients who suffer any adverse effect related to pharmacological intervention.

    Percentage of patients who suffer any adverse effect related to pharmacological intervention.

    Measured: One month after pharmacological intervention.

  10. Incidence of adverse events related to medication and its administration.

    Incidence of adverse events related to medication and its administration.

    Measured: At day 31 after randomization or hospital discharge (whichever occurs first)

  11. Incidence in the appearance of allergic type hypersensitivity

    Incidence in the appearance of Acne, Generalized urticaria, Chest tightness, Dyspnoea, Hypotension and/or Anaphylaxis.

    Measured: At day 31 after randomization or hospital discharge (whichever occurs first)

  12. Incidence of B19 parvovirus infection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Antithrombin + best available treatment and Best available treatment in people with Covid19 and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, run by Maimónides Biomedical Research Institute of Córdoba at 1 site in Spain.

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 4 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 9 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 Spain. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Combined variable: mortality or worsening rate with need for non-invasive mechanical ventilation or with need for invasive mechanical ventilation (time frame: At day 31 after randomization or hospital discharge (whichever occurs first)). 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 9 Feb 2021.
