Remdesivir in Adults With Covid-19: Mansoura University Hospital Experience

Conditions
Pneumonia, Viral
Registration Number
NCT04728880
Lead Sponsor
Mansoura University
Brief Summary

COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and causes significant morbidity and mortality. This study is a retrospective trial to assess the efficacy of Remdesivir in adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Mansoura University Isolation Hospital. In this study the investigators will analyze the data collected during treatment.

Detailed Description

COVID-19 is a novel respiratory disease caused by coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and results in significant morbidity and mortality. To date there is no approved medication for the treatment of patients with COVID-19. Remdesivir is a broad-spectrum antiviral nucleotide analogue that inhibits RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity among a diverse group of RNA viruses. Non-clinical and clinical data suggest that Remdesivir may be useful for the treatment of COVID-19. WHO has identified Remdesivir as a candidate drug of interest to be studied in clinical trials. This retrospective study is designed to analyze the data collected during the routine care of patients who have benefited from this therapy.

Change from baseline in lymphocyte count15 days

Change from baseline in the lymphocyte count during clinical course of patients on Day 15 under treatment with Remdesivir.

Change from baseline in lactate dehydrogenase15 days

Change from baseline in the lactate dehydrogenase during clinical course of patients on Day 15 under treatment with Remdesivir.

Change from baseline in D-dimer15 days

Change from baseline in the D-dimer during clinical course of patients on Day 15 under treatment with Remdesivir.

Change from baseline in the procalcitonin during clinical course of patients on Day 15 under treatment with Remdesivir.

Change from baseline in Interleukin-615 days

Change from baseline in the Interleukin-6 during clinical course of patients on Day 15 under treatment with Remdesivir.

Change from baseline in Serum ferretin15 days

Change from baseline in the Serum ferretin during clinical course of patients on Day 15 under treatment with Remdesivir.

Change from baseline in prothrombin time15 days

Change from baseline in the prothrombin time during clinical course of patients on Day 15 under treatment with Remdesivir.

Change from baseline in serum creatinine15 days

Change from baseline in the serum creatinine during clinical course of patients on Day 15 under treatment with Remdesivir.

Change from baseline in liver enzyme ALT15 days

Change from baseline in the liver enzyme ALT during clinical course of patients on Day 15 under treatment with Remdesivir.

Change from baseline in creatinine kinase15 days

Change from baseline in The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score (SOFA score)15 days

The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) is a morbidity severity score and mortality estimation tool. It allows for calculation of both the number and the severity of organ dysfunction in six organ systems (respiratory, coagulatory, liver, cardiovascular, renal, and neurologic). The following values are used to calculate the score: (PaO2 / FiO2 and artificial ventilation; platelets; bilirubin; average blood pressure and use of vasoactive drugs; creatinine).The total score ranges from 0-24. Zero indicates low risk while 24 indicates higher risk of mortality.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Duration of increased supplemental oxygen requirement from baseline

Duration without mechanical ventilation15 days

Duration without mechanical ventilation within 15 days of initiation of treatment with Remdesivir

Mortality15 days

Mortality at 15 days after initiation of treatment with Remdesivir.
