Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time to Non-Infectivity by RT-PCR [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Time to negative RT-PRC result indicating that patient is no longer infective

  2. Time to Symptom progression in days as measured by NEWS scoring system (National Early Warning Score) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Time to reduced symptoms in each treatment group as indicated by NEWS scores, which rate patient status based on a zero to three scale for 8 parameters. These values are added up to create the NEWS score. The lower the NEWS score, the better the patient's clinical condition. Zero is the lowest possible score, whereas 7 or greater represents a high degree of clinical risk.

  3. Time to Symptom improvement as measured by NEWS scoring system (National Early Warning Score) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Time to reduced symptoms in each treatment group as indicated by NEWS scores, which rate patient status based on a zero to three scale for 8 parameters. These values are added up to create the NEWS score. The lower the NEWS score, the better the patient's clinical condition. Zero is the lowest possible score, whereas 7 or greater represents a high degree of clinical risk.

  4. Efficacy of Treatment as measured by Titer [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Patients will have serum stored for titer testing to compare antibody levels over time

  5. Efficacy of Treatment as measured by RT-PCR [ Time Frame: 10 days ]
    Number of patients testing negative for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR after 10 days of treatment


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety of Treatment as Measured by D-Dimer [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]
    Blood D-Dimer levels

  2. Safety of Treatment as Measured by Pro-Calcitonin [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]
    Blood Pro-Calcitonin levels

  3. Safety of Treatment as Measured by C-Reactive Protein [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]
    Blood CRP levels

  4. Safety of Treatment as Measured by Ferritin [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]
    Blood ferritin levels

  5. Safety of Treatment as Measured by Liver Enzymes [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]
    Blood enzyme levels

  6. Safety of Treatment as Measured by Complete Blood Count [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]
    CBC

  7. Safety of Treatment as Measured by Electrolyte Levels [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]
    Blood electrolytes

  8. Safety of Treatment as Measured by Treatment Related Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Presence or absence of Grade 3 or high treatment related adverse events
