About this study

Official title: COVFIS-HOME: A Phase 2 Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study in COVID-19 of Fisetin to Alleviate Dysfunction and Decrease Complications in At-Risk Outpatients

The purpose of this study is to test whether Fisetin, a senolytic drug can assist in the reduction of complications in patients with COVID-19 infection.

Read the detailed description

To determine whether short-term treatment with Fisetin reduces the rate of death and long term complications related to COVID-19 and to determine the safety of treatment with Fisetin in this patient population.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. World Health Organization (WHO) Ordinal Scale Score

    The number of subjects who scored as No limitations (Score 0-1) and Ambulatory, limitations (score 2-8) on the WHO Ordinal Scale score. The 9 points of the WHO ordinal clinical severity scale are as follows: 0: no clinical or virological evidence of infection; 1: ambulatory, no activity limitation; 2: ambulatory, activity limitation; 3: hospitalized, no oxygen therapy; 4: hospitalized, oxygen mask or nasal prongs; 5: hospitalized, noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) or high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC); 6: hospitalized, intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV); 7: hospitalized, IMV + additional support such as pressors or extracardiac membranous oxygenation (ECMO); 8: death. Total scores range from 0-8. Lower scales indicate less limitations, higher scores indicate more limitations.

    Measured: 60 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fisetin in people with Covid19 and Coronavirus Infection, run by James L. Kirkland, MD, PhD at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Aug 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

World Health Organization (WHO) Ordinal Scale Score (time frame: 60 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Aug 2023.
