Filter by:The main objectives of the trial are to assess the efficacy and safety of trimodulin as adjunctive treatment to standard of care (SoC) compared to placebo plus SoC in adult hospitalized subjects with non-severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) or moderate / severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. Other objectives are to determine pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of trimodulin.
The pandemic triggered by the new SARS-CoV-2 presents the German health system with previously unknown challenges. There are currently no effective therapies for the treatment of the SARS-CoV-2 lung disease Covid-19. The aim of the joint project PROVID is to draw conclusions from the often very different clinical appearance of infections with the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen in order to improve patient care through targeted clinical management. The effects of infections with the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen are wide-ranging and include a spectrum from symptomlessness to infections of the upper respiratory tract, uncomplicated but also severe pneumonia with lung failure and high mortality. PROVID will first check whether certain host factors determine the severity and / or the course of Covid-19. Research is also being carried out into whether the molecular and clinical values of Covid-19 patients differ from those of patients with pneumonia caused by other pathogens. In addition, it will be tested whether specific molecular markers describe the severity of the disease and are suitable as an aid for targeted therapy for Covid-19. PROVID is an interdisciplinary joint project made up of three sub-projects that are being implemented at three locations (Charitè-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Universität Leipzig IMISE and CAPNETZ STIFTUNG / Hannover). PROVID is based on three clinical research platforms with a high track record in recruiting patients with high-quality data and biomaterials on the one hand and guideline-changing results on the other hand: CAPNETZ (competence network CAP, since 2002, world's largest database and biobank for CAP), PROGRESS (Pneumonia Research Network on Genetic Resistance and Susceptibility for the Evolution of Severe Sepsis, since 2007) and CAPSyS (systems medicine of community-acquired pneumonia, since 2014). The COVID-19 patients are recruited into 3 different patient cohorts via these 3 research platforms. 1. PROVID-CAPNETZ, 2. PROVID-PROGRESS, 3. PROVID-CAPSyS.
This single-center, prospective, open-label, comparator study, blind for central accessor evaluates the efficacy, safety of inhalations of low-doses of melphalan in patients with pneumonia with confirmed or suspected COVID-19. All patients will receive 0,1 mg of melphalan in 7-10 daily inhalations 1 time per day.
