• 1 other identifier: 135.2020
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 200
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Methods: Single-center pilot study included PCR+ SARS-CoV2-patients, hospitalized from April to May 2020 in Puebla, Mexico. Comparative treatment with steroids plus CsA or steroids. Mild, moderate or severe pneumonia was measured by clinical, laboratory tests, lung damage score by computed tomography, and score for clinical improvement. Death rate was evaluated at 28 days.

Conditions

COVID 19 Pneumonia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Number of days to clinical improvement until hospital discharge or death.

  Improvement of patients, defined by the following parameters: lower oxygen requirements (2 liters per minute, or less), absence of fever by three consecutive days, respiratory rate \<22, a decrease of 50% or more in the C reactive protein on admission, and length of hospital stay.

  28 days.

Study Arms (1)

COVID-19 Pneumonia control group

EXPERIMENTAL

COVID-19 pneumonia patients with standar treatment: enoxaparin 0.5 mg/kg S.C. once, Clarithromycin 500 mg twice an metylprednisolone 0.5 mg/kg once endovenous.

Drug: Cyclosporin A

Interventions

Cyclosporin A DRUG

COVID-19 pneumonia patients treated with oral CsA at a dose of 1-2 mg /kg / day divided into two doses, for 7 days, since entering to hospitalization.

COVID-19 Pneumonia control group
