Determination of dexamethasone treatment in COVID 19 patients in Qom province
Design
A clinical trial with a control group, with parallel groups, without blinding, phase 3 on 60 patients. It was used for randomization through blocking.
Settings and conduct
This study determined dexamethasone treatment in COVID 19 patients in Qom province, a randomized clinical trial without blindness.

Study entry criteria: 1- <70 adults (defined as .18 years 2- Laboratory confirmation of Covid19 b infection 3. Covid19's new organ dysfunction. Criteria for leaving the study: Sensitivity or sensitivity to Lopinavir / Ritonavir or recombinant IFN-β1b 2- ALT above 5 times normal 3. Use of drugs that are contraindicated with lopinavir / ritonavir and should not be substituted or discontinued during the study period. 4- Pregnancy 5. Known HIV infection 6. Uncontrolled diabetes 7. Vulnerable groups, such as the mentally disabled, emergency patients, or prisoners, are excluded from the study.
Intervention groups
In this study, clinical trials of researchers from hospitalized patients in Beheshti and Forghani hospitals Having COVID 19 That by receiving oxygen by The method of Reserve bag Oxygen saturation percentage should be less than 94%, provided that they have entry criteria, in two groups of 30 people selected as control and intervention, And randomly enter the blockade allocation into one of two treatment groups.In addition to receiving treatment for the Ministry of Health's protocol, the intervention group was treated with dexamethasone after obtaining informed consent, and the second group was treated only with the Ministry of Health's protocol.

Inclusion criteria:
Age between 18 and 70 years Laboratory confirmation of Covid19 infection with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from any diagnostic sampling source The new organ dysfunction, which is related to Covid19, includes: Hypoxia requires supplemental oxygen to maintain oxygen saturation> 90%. hypotension (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg) or need for vasopressor / inotropic drug.Renal impairment (especially creatinine) 50% of baseline, onset, received based on glomerular filtration film. Reduce the scale of Glasgow 2 or more, Thrombocytopenia (<150,000 platelets per millimeter). Symptoms of gastrointestinal upset requiring hospitalization (eg, severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain
Exclusion criteria:
Sensitivity or sensitivity to Lopinavir / Ritonavir or recombinant IFN-β1b, including toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, erythema or angioedema syndrome. ALT above 5 times normal Use of drugs that are contraindicated with Lupinavir / RitonavirAnd do not replace or stop during the study period, such as CYP3A inhibitors. Pregnancy - Eligible female participants are tested at gestational age before enrolling in a pregnancy study. HIV infection is known to cause concern about the resistance to lepinavir / ritonavir if used in combination with other anti-HIV drugs. Uncontrolled diabetes (Prohibition of prednisolone).

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
This study will be performed by a random sampling method, block allocation. In such a way that In this study, 60 patients with corona will be randomly divided into two groups. The selection of groups will be based on the fact that individuals will be assigned to groups based on block randomization. Block size 4 is considered. So we have six blocks of four, ABAB, ABBA, AABB, BAAB BBAA, BABA. The selection of each block will also be random and will be done using dice. For example, if the number 5 comes in the dice roll, the AABB block is considered and Therefore, the first two patients are assigned to treatment A, and the two patients are then assigned to treatment B.The dice will be thrown ten times to complete the allocation of patients to treatment groups. Treatment with dexamethasone and control will also be based on accident (coin toss).
