Trial summary

Although the recent literature is building a remarkable background to answer the many unknowns related to SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is absolutely necessary to finalize every clinical effort to collect data that may be useful, in a short time, to improve our knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

About this study

Official title: Biomarkers and Early Predictors of Prognostic Course, Response to Possible to Possible Treatments and Risk of Over-infection in Patients With COVID-19 Hospitalized in the Critical or Semi-intensive Area.

Although the recent literature is building a remarkable background to answer the many unknowns related to SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is absolutely necessary to finalize every clinical effort to collect data that may be useful, in a short time, to improve our knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Numerous biomarkers have been evaluated in the recent literature as being altered in patients with severe forms of COVID-19. Particularly, in the critical care area, the research of early predictors of mortality is essential for high-flow management of patients requiring invasive assisted ventilation and requiring invasive and non-invasive assisted ventilation, hemodynamic support, sometimes extracorporeal support (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, ECMO). The coordinated study of different biomarkers, in particular, if combined with each other, possibly even to constitute a possible score, could guide the correct allocation of patients between hospital departments and the appropriate management in intensive care units. appropriate management in intensive care units, as well as providing an early prognostic indication. prognostic indication. The combination of these biomarkers with routine clinical and laboratory data may further provide valuable information about their use in acute care and as progressive acute and as progressive monitoring over time.

Regarding the data of interest on the clinical trend, the evaluation of the respiratory support modalities, from the administration of oxygen therapy (by nasal cannulae or Venturi mask, or by high flow system - High Flow Nasal Cannula, HFNC), to CPAP support or by non-invasive or invasive ventilation, appears of particular importance.

Therefore, the present study will be conducted in sub-intensive as well as intensive care units, in order to evaluate different types of patients, and their possible evolution over time.

The comparison between the populations belonging to different areas of intensity of care will be able to describe the different populations. Data analysis will allow an evaluation of possible risk factors and prognostic determinants of the severity of the disease and its infectious complications.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid19 and C-reactive Protein, run by University of Turin, Italy at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 1 Aug 2023. 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 Italy. 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?

ICU inpatient mortality (time frame: 24 months). The study lists 2 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 NCT04873388, 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 1 Aug 2023.
