    The effect of methylprednisolone administration vs. dexamethasone on clinical status of COVID-19 patients based on a 9-points WHO ordinal scale
    تعیین تاثیرتجویز متیل پردنیزولون بر تظاهرات بالینی و ریوی بیماران COVID-19
    تعیین تاثیر تجویز متیل پردنیزولون در برابر دگزامتازون بر وضعیت بالینی بیماران COVID-19 بر اساس معیار 9 درجه ای WHO
    This non-blinded clinical trial will be conducted in Shiraz which patients will be enrolled in case and control groups based on their admitted hospital.
    Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, triple-blinded, phase 2-3 on 86 patients. Block Randomization was used for randomization.
    این مطالعه یک کارآزمایی بالینی کور نشده می باشد. بیماران وارد شده به مطالعه بر اساس بیمارستان محل بستری در گروه مداخله یا گروه کنترل قرار می گیرند.
    کارآزمایی بالینی دارای گروه کنترل، با گروه های موازی ، سه سویه کور ، تصادفی شده، فاز 2-3 بر روی 86 بیمار. برای تصادفی سازی از روش Block Randomization استفاده شد.
    Tًُُhis study will be conducted in Chamran and Ali-asghar hospitals in Shiraz.This clinical trial will be conducted on 48 patients with COVID-19, in both case and control groups. Patients will receive treatment according to the national protocol and the case group also will receive Methylprednisolone.
    This study was performed in Shahid Faghihi Hospital. This clinical trial was performed on 86 patients with COVID-19 in two intervention and control groups. Patients are treated according to the defined protocol and in addition to that, the intervention group received methylprednisolone and the control group received dexamethasone. Packaging containers contain the drug anonymously, so that none of the patients, assesors, and those performing statistical analysis of the study data will be aware of the patient's treatment group.
    این مطالعه در بیمارستان های علی اصغر و شهید چمران شیراز انجام خواهد شد.این کارآزمایی بالینی بر روی تعداد 48 بیمار مبتلا به بیماری کووید- در دو گروه مداخله و گروه کنترل انجام خواهد گرفت. بیماران بر اساس پروتوکل تعریف شده تحت درمان دارویی قرار می گیرند و گروه مداخله علاوه بر آن متیل پردنیزولون را نیز دریافت میکند.
    این مطالعه در بیمارستان شهید فقیهی شیراز انجام شد.این کارآزمایی بالینی بر روی تعداد 86 بیمار مبتلا به بیماری کووید- در دو گروه مداخله و گروه کنترل انجام گرفت. بیماران بر اساس پروتکل تعریف شده تحت درمان دارویی قرار می گیرند و گروه مداخله علاوه بر آن متیل پردنیزولون و گروه کنترل نیز دگزامتازون را دریافت کردند. ظرفهای بسته بندی حاوی دارو بدون نام بوده و به این ترتیب، هیچ یک از بیماران، همکارانی که ارزیابی پیامدهای را بر عهده دارند و افرادی که آنالیز آماری داده های مطالعه را انجام می دهند، از گروه درمانی بیمار اطلاع نخواهند داشت.
    Hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 will be included in this study if they fulfilled two primary criteria: age >18 years and PCR documented SARS-CoV-2 carriage in a nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal sample at admission whatever their clinical status. Patients will be excluded if they have a known contraindication to treatment with the study drug. Breastfeeding and pregnant patients will be excluded based on their declaration and pregnancy test results when required.
    Hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 will be included in this study if they fulfilled two primary criteria: Hospitalized patients with positive RT-PCR and age >18 years and O2 saturation of less than 92 in room air. Patients will be excluded if they have a known contraindication to treatment with the steroids, pregnant patients, Uncontrolled DM, Uncontrolled hypertension, Immunodeficiency disorders
    معیارهای ورود: تمامی بیماران مبتلا به کووید-19 بستری با سن ≥ ۱۸ سال و داشتن جواب مثبت SARS-CoV-2 بر اساس تست RT-PCR به کمک نمونه گرفته شده از حلق و نازوفارنکس معیارهای خروج: داشتن هر گونه کنترا اندیکاسیون با داروی مورد مطالعه و شیردهی و یا بیماران باردار
    معیارهای ورود: تمامی بیماران بستری مبتلا به کووید-19 بستری با سن ≥ ۱۸ سال و داشتن جواب مثبت SARS-CoV-2 بر اساس تست RT-PCR و اشباع اکسیژن کمتر از 92 درصد در هوای اتاق معیارهای خروج: داشتن هر گونه کنترا اندیکاسیون شناخته شده برای مصرف استروئید، بیماران باردار، دیابت کنترل نشده، فشار خون بالا کنترل نشده، بیمارانی که قبلاً به هر دلیلی تحت درمان با استروئید قرار گرفته بودند، اشباع اکسیژن بیشتر از 92 درصد در هوای اتاق، عدم رضایت از مشارکت در مطالعه و اختلالات نقص ایمنی
    An initial dose of 1mg/kg will be started for all patients in the case group. The patients will receive the mentioned dose for 5 days, which will then be halved for 5 days and repeated until reached a dose of under 20mg/day, which will then be converted into oral tablet form of prednisolone. Also, patients will receive the national treatment protocol for COVID-19.
    In addition to the standard care recommended by the National Committee, an initial dose of 2mg/kg will be started for all patients in the case group. The patients will receive the mentioned dose for 5 days, which will then be halved every 5 days. Patients in control group, in addition to the standard care , receive dexamethasone 6 mg daily intravenously.
    بیماران گروه مداخله علاوه به ترکیب پیشنهادی کمیته کشوری، در ابتدا روزانه ۱میلیگرم/کیلوگرم داروی متیل پردنیزولون ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ به مدت ۵ روز به صورت وریدی دریافت خواهند کرد که پس از آن هر ۵ روز دوز آن نصف خواهد شد تا در نهایت به زیر دوز ۲۰ میلیگرم در روز کاهش یابد. سپس دارو به فرم قرص پردنیزولون تغییر می یابد.
    بیماران گروه مداخله علاوه به ترکیب پیشنهادی کمیته کشوری، در ابتدا روزانه 2میلیگرم/کیلوگرم داروی متیل پردنیزولون ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ به مدت ۵ روز به صورت وریدی دریافت خواهند کرد که پس از آن هر ۵ روز دوز آن نصف خواهد شد. در گروه شاهد علاوه بر ترکیب پیشنهادی کمیته کشوری، بیماران دگزامتازون 6 میلی گرم در روز را به صورت وریدی دریافت می کنند.

Protocol summary

Study aim
The effect of methylprednisolone administration vs. dexamethasone on clinical status of COVID-19 patients based on a 9-points WHO ordinal scale
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, triple-blinded, phase 2-3 on 86 patients. Block Randomization was used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
This study was performed in Shahid Faghihi Hospital. This clinical trial was performed on 86 patients with COVID-19 in two intervention and control groups. Patients are treated according to the defined protocol and in addition to that, the intervention group received methylprednisolone and the control group received dexamethasone. Packaging containers contain the drug anonymously, so that none of the patients, assesors, and those performing statistical analysis of the study data will be aware of the patient's treatment group.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 will be included in this study if they fulfilled two primary criteria: Hospitalized patients with positive RT-PCR and age >18 years and O2 saturation of less than 92 in room air. Patients will be excluded if they have a known contraindication to treatment with the steroids, pregnant patients, Uncontrolled DM, Uncontrolled hypertension, Immunodeficiency disorders
Intervention groups
In addition to the standard care recommended by the National Committee, an initial dose of 2mg/kg will be started for all patients in the case group. The patients will receive the mentioned dose for 5 days, which will then be halved every 5 days. Patients in control group, in addition to the standard care , receive dexamethasone 6 mg daily intravenously.
Main outcome variables
Primary endpoint: The all-cause mortality in 28 days and Clinical status Secondary endpoint: Intubation and need for ventilation, admission to ICU, and also duration of hospitalization

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Random allocation using the block randomization method was performed in all four branches of the strata, based on two prognostic factors such as age (< 55 and ≥55) and disease severity based on O2 Saturation (<85 and ≥85). During random allocation, allocation concealment was noticed. The patient, assessor, and analyzer in the two groups did not have access to the randomization list and type of administered drug (Triple blind)
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
Packaging containers contain unnamed medicine and there is only one registration number on them in the research center and this number is also available to the treating physicians. Thus, none of the patients, colleagues who are in charge of clinical follow-up and outcome assessment, and those who perform statistical analysis of study data, before the allocation concealment and after the study (blinding), will not know the patient's group therapy.
