Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the trial is to assess the safety of using simplified personal protective equipment (PPE) for vaccinated or COVID-19 convalescent healthcare workers working in COVID-19 ICU or COVID-19 wards. The trial is designed as a prospective randomiyed observational trial with volunteer medical staff working in COVID-19 departments aiming to show non-inferiority of simplified PPE vs standard COVID-19 PPE.


Description:

Objectives To assess safety of simplified personal protective equipment (PPE) for vaccinated health workers and COVID-19 convalescents - pilot trial. Methods Prospective randomized observational trial. 60 participants randomized 1:1 to either standard PPE (COVID-19 ward: FFP2 or higher respirator, goggles of face shield, gown, gloves; COVID-19 ICU: FFP3 respirator and tight goggles or full face mask or powered air-purifiying respirators, gown and gloves) or simplified PPE (surgical mask, goggles or face shield, gown). 30 days follow up period. Participants Volunteer medical staff from COVID-19 regular and ICU departments at University Medical Center Ljubljana, Slovenia, with either proven COVID-19 infection within 6 months or at least 7 days after second dose anti COIVD-19 vaccine. Hypotheses Simplified PPE is non-inferior to standard PPE in vaccinated health workers or convalescents. Discussion Positive study results may decrease PPE spending cost and positively affect working conditions at COVID-19 departments.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Non-inferiority of simplified PPE compared to standard PPE regarding symptomatic infection rate. The use of simplified PPE will not predispose COVID-19 immune healthcare workers to symptomatic neoinfection. 30 days
Secondary Non-inferiority of simplified PPE compared to standard PPE regarding asymptomatic infection rate. No difference in nasopharyngeal RT-PCR SARS-CoV 2 results between groups. 30 days
Secondary Rise in anti-SARS-CoV 2 antibody titers in the simplified PPE group. 30 days
