Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this open label, randomized, study is to obtain information on the safety and efficacy of 80 ppm Nitric Oxide given in addition to the standard of care of patients with COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Nitric Oxide (NO) is a small endogenously produced molecule recognized to play a critical role in the function of several body systems including the vasodilatation of smooth muscle, neurotransmission, regulation of wound healing and inhibition of pathogens. In-vitro studies have shown that NO inhibits the replication cycle of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS CoV) in vitro. The suggested mechanisms of actions of NO on SARS are an effect on the fusion between the S protein and its cognate receptor, ACE2, and reduction in viral RNA production in the early steps of viral replication. The primary aim of this feasibility study is to investigate the safety of intermittent NO, delivered via inhalation, in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. The primary endpoint in the study will be time to deterioration of respiratory symptoms determined by escalation to either non-invasive ventilation (NIV), high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), or intubation.
