Trial Outcomes & Findings for Aggrenox To Treat Acute Covid-19 (NCT NCT04410328)

NCT ID: NCT04410328

Last Updated: 2025-02-21

Results Overview

Change in composite COVID ordinal scale from day 1 to 14. Ordinal scale: 1) not hospitalized with resumption of normal activities; 2) not hospitalized, but unable to resume normal activities; 3) hospitalized, not requiring oxygen; 4) hospitalized, requiring oxygen; 5) hospitalized, requiring high-flow oxygen therapy, or noninvasive ventilation; 6) hospitalized, requiring invasive ventilation; 7) ventilation plus additional organ support such as pressors, renal replacement therapy and ECMO and 8) death. COVID Ordinal Scale ranges from 1 to 8, with score 1 on the scale corresponds to an ambulatory patient with minimal symptoms and score 8 on the scale corresponds to death.

Participants Receiving Dipyridamole and Aspirin
Dipyridamole ER 200mg/ Aspirin 25mg orally/enterally plus standard care. Participants will receive Dipyridamole ER 200mg/ Aspirin 25mg orally/enterally), 2 times daily starting on the day of enrollment for a total of 2 weeks. Dipyridamole ER 200mg/ Aspirin 25mg orally/enterally AND Standard of care: Participants in the experimental group will receive Dipyridamole ER 200mg/ Aspirin 25mg orally/enterally (if they have a feeding tube), 2 times daily starting on the day of enrollment for a total of 2 weeks. Standard of care: Participants will receive standard care starting on the day of enrollment for a total of 2 weeks.
Participants Receiving Standard of Care
Participants will receive standard care starting on the day of enrollment for a total of 2 weeks. Standard of care: Participants will receive standard care starting on the day of enrollment for a total of 2 weeks. Standard of care treatment consist of an intravenous Remidesivir 200 mg loading dose and then 100 mg/daily for a total of 4 days for non-intubated patients and 10 days for intubated patients, intravenous/oral decadron 6 mg/daily for 10 days and prophylactic subcutaneous LMWH daily, started on the day of enrollment and for the duration of hospitalization. If the patients are discharged before 10 days, they are prescribed oral decadron 6 mg daily to complete the course of 10 days
