Brief Summary:

Low radiation doses produce anti-inflammatory effects, which may be useful in the treatment of respiratory complications of COVID-19. This type of treatment is non-invasive and therefore, a priori, it can be used in all types of patients.

Main objective: To evaluate the efficacy of low-dose lung irradiation as an adjunctive treatment in interstitial pneumonia in patients with COVID-19 by improving the PAFI O2 by 20% measured 48h after treatment with respect to the pre baseline measurement. -irradiation.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Pneumonia, Viral Radiation: Low-dose radiotherapy Drug: Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate Drug: Ritonavir/lopinavir Drug: Tocilizumab Injection [Actemra] Drug: Azithromycin Drug: Corticosteroid Drug: Low molecular weight heparin Device: Oxygen supply Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

Study design: This is a prospective multicenter study in 2 phases:

  1. Exploratory phase. It will include 10 patients, to assess the feasibility and efficacy of low-dose lung irradiation. If a minimum efficiency of 30% is not achieved, the study will not be continued.
  2. Comparative phase in two groups, a control group, which will only receive pharmacological treatment, and an experimental one. It will include 96 patients, the allocation will be 1: 2, that is, 32 in the control arm and 64 in the experimental arm, which will receive low-dose lung irradiation.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Efficacy of low-dose pulmonary irradiation assessed by change in PAFI O2 by 20% [ Time Frame: Day 2 after interventional radiotherapy ]

    To evaluate the efficacy of low-dose pulmonary irradiation as an adjunctive treatment in interstitial pneumonia in patients with COVID-19 by improving the PAFI O2 by 20% measured 48h after treatment with respect to baseline pre-irradiation measurement. .

    In cases of impossibility the SaFiO2 will be determined

    Chest CT

  3. Overall mortality [ Time Frame: Day 15 and Day 30 after interventional radiotherapy ]
    Death of any cause

  4. Measure of pro-inflammatory interleukins [ Time Frame: Days 1, day 4 and day 7 after interventional radiotherapy ]
    Interleukins IL-6, IL-10, IL-1, IL-2, IL-8 (pg/ml)

  5. Measure of trasforming growth factor (TGF-b) [ Time Frame: Days 1, day 4 and day 7 after interventional radiotherapy ]
    TGF-β (ng/ml)

  6. Measure of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) [ Time Frame: Days 1, day 4 and day 7 after interventional radiotherapy ]
