About this study

The aim of the study is to assess the expression of TLR 3, 7, and 9 in the population of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and in B lymphocytes (CD19+), T lymphocytes (CD4+ and CD8+) using flow cytometry in relation to the clinical parameters and outcome of COVID 19 patients .

Read the detailed description

Abnormal stimulation of innate immunity may have a great influence on the immunopathogenesis of COVID 19 disease .The involvement of innate immunity receptors-toll-like receptors (TLR)-in the pathogenesis of COVID 19 is not adequately studied. The activation of these receptors by specific ligands is thought to initiate autoimmune processes[1]. TLR stimulation leads to increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IFN

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Fady Markos, resident doctor (01203456886, fadyfedo3296@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cytokines storm occurrence in COVID-19 patients (time frame: Baseline). 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 NCT05089110, which also lists 2 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 26 Oct 2021.
