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. Development of clinical deterioration [ Time Frame: Up to day 15 from randomization ]
    Defined as dyspnoea - physical examination - doctor's assessment

  2. Clinical deterioration occurs [ Time Frame: Up to day 15 from randomization ]
    Defined as drop in O2 saturation (<92% with patient exposure to room air) and / or additional oxygen demand to maintain O2 saturation ≥92%)

  3. Clinical deterioration occurs [ Time Frame: Up to day 15 from randomization ]
    Defined as achievement of ≥4 points on the WHO [OSCI-WHO] scale (7-point clinical status assessment scale)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. General Health Scale (PROMIS® Global Health Scale) [ Time Frame: Day 15, 30 complementary visit-optional, 90, 150, 210 ]
    Mean Global Health scores for each arm at day 15, 30 complementary visit-optional, 90, 150, 210. PROMIS® instruments are scored using item-level calibrations. This method of scoring uses "response pattern scoring," which uses responses to each item for each participant.

  2. The neurological assessment [ Time Frame: Day 15, 30 complementary visit-optional, 90, 150, 210 ]

    will include the assessment of neurological functions based on:

    1. scales for fatigue,
    2. depression,
    3. disorders of smell and taste,
    4. sleep disorders,
    5. quality of life.

  3. Time to clinical deterioration [ Time Frame: Day 15, 30 complementary visit-optional, 90, 150, 210 ]
  4. Survival time [ Time Frame: Day 15, 30 complementary visit-optional, 90, 150, 210 ]

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Men and women aged 18 and over
  • Can give informed consent
  • Confirmed positive result for SARS-CoV-2 within 72 hours from the date the result was issued (according to the laboratory report)
  • Patient presently symptomatic with one or more of the following symptoms: fever, cough, myalgia, mild dyspnoea, chest pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, anosmia, lack of taste, sore throat, nasal congestion
  • At initial screening, the subject will report at least one and no more than 3 of the following risk factors for clinical worsening: age ≥40, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, pulmonary disease (e.g., asthma, COPD), and immune disorders (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, lupus), neurological diseases: e.g. after a distant stroke or trauma to the brain, multiple sclerosis, dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases)
  • Patients hospitalized due to meeting the above criteria and requiring observation in a hospital or outpatient setting.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Disease severe enough to meet the study's primary endpoint of clinical worsening (eg, current O2 saturation <92% with patient exposure to room air, current use of supplemental oxygen to maintain O2 saturation ≥ 92%).
  • WHO score ≥4 (requires oxygen therapy during hospitalization)
  • Concomitant diseases which, in the opinion of the attending physician, prevent the patient from participating in the study, such as: decompensated cirrhosis, active ulcer disease, epilepsy and symptomatic convulsions, untreated angle-closure glaucoma determined on the basis of the patient's interview and / or medical documentation . In addition, immunocompromised patients (solid organ transplant, BMT, AIDS, renal failure (patients with renal impairment may develop drug poisoning) or other diseases not mentioned and other diseases treated with biological, immunological and / or steroids in high doses will not be eligible for the study. doses (> 20 mg prednisone daily).
  • Hypersensitivity to any component of the preparation, severe congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, II-III degree AV block, bradycardia, clinically significant prolongation of the QT interval, or a family history of congenital long QT syndrome, severe ventricular arrhythmias (including torsade de pointes), concomitant use of drugs that prolong the QT interval, hypokalaemia, hypomagnesaemia,
  • Pregnancy, the period of breastfeeding.
  • Parallel intake of memantine or other drugs acting on the CNS (neuroleptics, anxiolytics, antiepileptic drugs, antidepressants).
  • Other neurological conditions with agitation or confusion, delirium syndromes or psychoses.
  • Receipt of a partial or full vaccination schedule against SARS-CoV-2 is also an exclusion criterion from the study.
