Bacteriotherapy in the Treatment of COVID-19 — BACT-ovid  

Pneumonia Clinical Trial

Official title:
Evaluation of the Impact of Bacteriotherapy in the Treatment of COVID-19

Clinical Trial Summary

In light of its high morbidity and mortality, COronaVIrus Disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic spread is considered an unprecedented global health challenge.

Given the very limited therapeutic options available against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - CoronaVirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic at this time, the evaluation of new resources, designed in the first instance for other pathologies but potentially active against COVID-19, represents a priority in clinical research.

This is an observational, retrospective, non-profit study on the adjuvant use of bacteriotherapy in the early control of disease progression in patients affected by COVID-19 and treated with the current standard of care on the basis of the interim guidelines of the Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases.

The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of bacteriotherapy in reducing the clinical impact of acute diarrhea, containing the progression of COVID-19 and preventing the need for hospitalization in intensive care units.

Clinical Trial Description

Italy was the first European country hit by the severe outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic emerged from China, with a high morbidity and associated mortality.

Given the limited treatment options currently available, the search for resources capable of improving disease outcomes is fundamental for the management of patients

Systemic inflammation related to COVID-19, dietary changes, and use of antibiotics are all variables that contribute to changes in the gut microbiota with significant impact on the disease outcomes. Probiotic supplementation can help to correct these issues.

Moreover some strains of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria inhibit influenza virus, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, and pneumovirus . ;
