NCT ID: NCT04941703

Last Updated: 2023-11-13

Results Overview

Outcome measured clinical status of the participant defined by the COVID Ordinal Outcome Scale on Day 7: 0 = Uninfected, no viral RNA detected 1. = Asymptomatic, viral RNA detected 2. = Symptomatic, independent 3. = Symptomatic, assistance needed 4. = Hospitalized, no oxygen needed 5. = Hospitalized, oxygen by mask or nasal prongs 6. = Hospitalized, oxygen by NIV or high flow 7. = Intubation and mechanical ventilation, pO2/FiO2 ≥150 or SpO2/FiO2 ≥200 8. = Mechanical ventilation, pO2/FiO2 \<150 (SpO2/FiO2 \<200) or vasopressors 9. = Mechanical ventilation, pO2/FiO2 \<150 and vasopressors, dialysis or ECMO 10. = Dead

Measure
Magnesium Citrate Plus a Probiotic Arm:
Participants assigned to the magnesium citrate plus a probiotic arm will receive 1 bottle of magnesium citrate 296 mL PO once to be taken within a 4-hour period, (about 10 oz.). Because magnesium citrate remains within the intestinal lumen, a second bottle can be provided if there is limited bowel movement. Patients will be asked to take 2 capsules of probiotics twice daily for six days or until discharge, whichever is earlier. Magnesium Citrate plus probiotic: 296 ml magnesium citrate
Placebo
Participants randomized to the placebo arm will receive matching placebo 296 mL PO once to be taken within a 4-hour period, (about 10 oz.) and 2 cellulose capsules twice daily for six days or until discharge, whichever is earlier. The placebo will be flavored to match the taste of the interventional arm. Magnesium Citrate plus probiotic: 296 ml magnesium citrate

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline through Day 7 after completion of therapy

Population: 2 Participants in the Magnesium Citrate arm and 3 participants in the placebo arm were discharged prior to Day 7. No data was collected from them for this outcome measure

Outcome measured clinical status of the participant defined by the COVID Ordinal Outcome Scale on Day 7: 0 = Uninfected, no viral RNA detected 1. = Asymptomatic, viral RNA detected 2. = Symptomatic, independent 3. = Symptomatic, assistance needed 4. = Hospitalized, no oxygen needed 5. = Hospitalized, oxygen by mask or nasal prongs 6. = Hospitalized, oxygen by NIV or high flow 7. = Intubation and mechanical ventilation, pO2/FiO2 ≥150 or SpO2/FiO2 ≥200 8. = Mechanical ventilation, pO2/FiO2 \<150 (SpO2/FiO2 \<200) or vasopressors 9. = Mechanical ventilation, pO2/FiO2 \<150 and vasopressors, dialysis or ECMO 10. = Dead
