Efficacy of Inhaled Therapies in the Treatment of Acute Symptoms Associated With COVID-19

Summary

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2), the new coronavirus, causes a disease called COVID-19 that can trigger aggressive inflammatory responses. In this sense, inhaled corticosteroid therapy (IC) has shown some favorable results in controlling the worsening of the disease, given that it has effects on pulmonary inflammation and can be an intervention to be used in the mild manifestations of COVID-19 in order to prevent disease progression and severity. Regarding the role of bronchodilators, studies have suggested that their combination with IC exerts synergistic therapeutic effects. Objective: To determine the efficacy of inhaled therapy of beclomethasone/formoterol/glycopyrronium (BFG) (100/6/12.5mcg) and/or beclomethasone HFA 250 mcg in preventing the use of healthcare resources in patients ≥ 18 years of age at 28 days compared to usual care. Method: participants will be randomized according to a ratio of 1:1:1 into three groups: (Group 1) Standard of care + BFG two doses 2x/day; (Group 2) standard treatment + beclomethasone HFA two doses 2x/day and (Group 3) standard treatment. After collecting the signed informed consent form, research participants will be treated for 28 days and, after two days, will undergo a spirometry test. Therefore, the total duration of the study for a given participant will be up to 30 days.
