About this study
Official title: Effect of Inhalation Administration of Ozone Plasma on Lung Function and Inflammatory Parameters in Patients With Pulmonary Sequelae Associated With Coronavirus 19 Infection (SARS-COV-2)
The risk for the development of complications from COVID-19 occurs mainly in patients over 65 years of age, with obesity, arterial hypertension, chronic lung diseases and immunosuppression states. Since the persistence of radiological imaging correlates with physiological deterioration, these patients are likely to be at increased risk of parenchymal lung disease.
It is known that the administration of Ozone, in any of the three phases of COVID-19 infection, is useful in the management of acute disease, both for its viricidal and anti-inflammatory activity, however, in the convalescence stage when the persistence of sequelae that can severely affect the quality of life of patients is identified.
Read the detailed description
The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the administration by inhalation of ozone plasma favorably modifies lung function and inflammatory parameters in patients with pulmonary sequelae associated with coronavirus 19 infection (SARS-COV-2). We will conduct an open-ended, uncontrolled clinical trial in 35 male and female patients, between 25-80 years of age with previous confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 infection with negative nasopharyngeal polymerase chain reaction assay (PCR) test and without active disease, patients will also continue with their usual treatment. Clinical findings and laboratory and cabinet tests include a basal and 14-day metabolic and inflammatory profile, body weight, body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure will be determined during the initial and final visit, as well as respiratory parameters by pulmonary function tests (spirometry, TLCo) and performing the 6 min walk test in endless band with pre- and post-walk oximetry measurements at the beginning and end of the study. Adverse events to treatment will be documented. Statistical analysis: Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon exact test. A p <0.05 shall be considered statistically significant.

They will also be provided with an atmospheric oxygen meter, with the indication to keep the ppb below 0.07. You must record in your diary the start time, end and eventualities (in case of presenting them).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Ozone plasma in people with COVID-19, run by Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud, Mexico at 2 sites in Mexico.
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 5 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?

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in Mexico. 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?
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?
Lung Function (time frame: 14 days). 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?
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 11 Nov 2021.
