Trial Outcomes & Findings for Inhaled Nitric Oxide for Preventing Progression in COVID-19 (NCT NCT04388683)

NCT ID: NCT04388683

Last Updated: 2022-04-19

Results Overview

The clinical disease severity was assessed pre-randomization as the worse of 2 scores measured 2 hours apart. Patients eligible for randomization were those with scores of 1 or 2 (below), and randomization was stratified according to score (1 or 2). Study drug began within 1 hour of randomization. Beginning on the day following randomization ("day 1"), we calculated clinical score, daily, as the average of 3 measurements taken within 2 hour windows centered at 6AM, 2PM, and 10PM.

Participant Flow

Please note that 9 participants signed consent forms. However, only 8 participants completed the study because the last patient was consented the morning the study was shut down, so they did complete treatment steps or have data collected for them.

Measure
Inhaled Nitric Oxide
Will receive study drug treatment. Nitric Oxide: Subjects will receive iNO using the INO pulse device at a dose of 125 mcg/kg IBW/hr (equivalent to approximately 20 ppm). The clinical disease severity will be assessed pre-randomization as the worse of 2 scores measured 2 hours apart. Patients eligible for randomization will be those with scores of 1 or 2 (below), and randomization will be stratified according to score (1 or 2). Study drug will begin within 1 hour of randomization. Beginning on the day following randomization ("day 1"), we will be calculate clinical score, daily, as the average of 3 measurements taken within 2 hour windows centered at 6AM, 2PM, and 10PM.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 28 days

The clinical disease severity was assessed pre-randomization as the worse of 2 scores measured 2 hours apart. Patients eligible for randomization were those with scores of 1 or 2 (below), and randomization was stratified according to score (1 or 2). Study drug began within 1 hour of randomization. Beginning on the day following randomization ("day 1"), we calculated clinical score, daily, as the average of 3 measurements taken within 2 hour windows centered at 6AM, 2PM, and 10PM.
