Endothelial Protection in Convalescent COVID-19 Patients

Summary

This pilot open-label randomized controlled trial aims to assess if treatment with sulodexide may improve the endothelial status and inflammatory response in post-COVID-19 patients. Survived inpatients with severe-to-critical COVID-19 within 14 days after discharge are randomized to receive sulodexide 250 LSU 1 oral capsule twice daily or no treatment for 8 weeks. Biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and prothrombotic changes are assessed at 0, 4, and 8 weeks. The hypothesis is that affected endothelial function, pro-inflammatory, and pro-thrombotic changes could be improved with sulodexide treatment in convalescent COVID-19 patients who suffered a severe-to-critical clinical presentation and have chronic comorbidities of high risk for endothelial dysfunction.
