Efficacy and Safety of MTX-loaded Nanoparticles to Treat Severe COVID-19 Patients
Treatment of Acute Respiratory Syndrome Resulting From the Inflammatory Process of COVID-19 Infection Using Methotrexate-loaded Nanoparticles: A Phase I/II Study
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Patients with acute lung injury caused by COVID-19 disease are experiencing an inflammatory reaction that can be harmful and worsen the severity of the clinical condition. Thus, the use of MTX-loaded nanoparticules in patients with acute lung injury secondary to COVID-19 aims to decrease the exacerbated inflammatory reaction leading to a decrease in cell damage caused by this inflammatory process in patients.
The study will be divided in 3 phases:
Phase A (n=4): IV administration of 20 mg of MTX-loaded nanoparticles. Four doses of Investigational Product (IP) will be administered, once per week. If patients show clinical improvement after 2nd or 3rd administration, the next phase will start.
Phase B (n=12): IV administration of 30 mg of MTX-loaded nanoparticles. Four doses of Investigational Product (IP) will be administered, once per week. If patients show clinical improvement after 2nd or 3rd administration, the next phase will start.
Fase C (n=26): IV administration of 40 mg of MTX-loaded nanoparticules. Four doses of Investigational Product (IP) will be administered, once per week.
