Trial to Promote Recovery From COVID-19 With Endocrine Therapy

Phase 2
Withdrawn
Conditions
SARS-CoV 2
COVID-19
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04374279
Lead Sponsor
Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins
Brief Summary

Patients with COVID-19 requiring inpatient hospitalization will be randomized to treatment with standard of care or standard of care + bicalutamide. This will be a randomized, open-label study to determine if bicalutamide improves the rate of clinical improvement in patients with COVID-19.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of participants who have clinical improvement at day 7 after randomizationup to 7 days

Percentage of participants who are discharged from the hospital or if they have had at least a 2-point improvement on the World Health Organization (WHO) Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement. The WHO clinical improvement scale has a score range of 0-8 where, 0= uninfected, 1= ambulatory with no limitation of activities; 2= ambulatory with limitations to activities; 3= hospitalized, mild disease, with no oxygen therapy; 4= hospitalized, mild disease, with oxygen by mask or nasal prongs; 5= hospitalized, severe disease, with non-invasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen; 6= hospitalized, severe disease, with intubation and mechanical ventilation; 7= hospitalized, severe disease, with ventilation and additional organ support (pressors, dialysis, ECMO); 8= death
