Impact of Colchicine in Hospitalized Colombian Patients With COVID-19 ((COLCOVID19))

February 7, 2022 updated by: Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud
This is a phase IIIa, prospective, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral colchicine plus standard therapy versus standard therapy in the clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 infection, in a population group with moderate COVID-19 compromise and requiring hospitalization.Aproximately 120 subjects meeting all inclusion and not inclusion criteria will be randomized to receive either Colchicine plus standard treatment or only standard treatment for 15 days

Detailed Description

Introduction: COVID-19 and mortality associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) pose a global public health problem. The increase in spread and associated mortality poses a scenario where cost-effective therapeutic options are urgently and effectively proposed to control and reduce the pandemic and even to reduce the number of deaths Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral colchicine plus treatment standard versus standard treatment in the clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection, in a population group with moderate COVID-19 involvement and requiring hospitalization. Methodology: A prospective, open, randomized, parallel-group study, the sample size of 120 subjects each arm of 60 subjects. Random assignment (1: 1) to either colchicine plus standard treatment or control arm (standard treatment) orally for 14 days. An initial dose of 1.5 mg orally on the first day, followed by 0.5 mg every 12 hours on days 2 to 7 and continuing with 0.5 mg a day until completing 14 days ± 1. It will be followed on days 1, 3, 7, 14, and day 28, evaluating physical examination, clinical situation, laboratories, and adverse events. The primary efficacy data correspond to the deterioration in the clinical status of the patients through the semiquantitative ordinal scale suggested by the WHO R&D committee. Expected results: It is expected to find out how, through different pathways, colchicine could act in modulating or preventing the appearance of ARDS associated with COVID-19, its possible effects on viral replication and antigenic presentation.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Patients treated in the exposed group will consist of a decreasing dose of colchicine: a dose of 1.5 mg orally on the first day (initial 1 mg and 0.5 mg at 2 hours), followed by 0.5 mg every 12 hours on days 2 to 7, and continuing with 0.5 mg per day until completing 14 ± 1 days. The duration of treatment will be 14 ± 1 days, depending on the clinical judgment of the investigator.

The duration of treatment will be 14 ± 1 days, depending on the clinical judgment of the investigator.

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
