  • General information

    Due to the decrease in the number of COVID-19 patients referring to our center and the results of studies that show a non-significant effect of sex factor on the severity of COVID-19, random allocation of patients have not been stratified according to gender. Due to the prevention of possible drug side effects, the dose of the intervention drug was reduced from 5 times a day to 3 times a day. The placebo dose was also reduced by the same amount.

    با توجه به کاهش بیماران COVID-19 مراجعه کننده به مرکز ما و نتایج مطالعاتی که نشان دهنده تأثیر غیر معنادار عامل جنسیت بر شدت بیماری COVID-19 می باشند ، تخصیص تصادفی بیماران براساس جنسیت طبقه بندی نشده است. به دلیل جلوگیری از عوارض احتمالی دارویی، دوز مصرفی داروی مداخله از 5 بار در روز به 3 بار در روز تقلیل یافت. همچنین دوز مصرف دارونما نیز به همین میزان کاهش یافت.
    Before assigning groups to individuals eligible to participate in the study, informed consent is completed for grouping individuals. the person who has no role in admitting patients and assigning patients to random codes preparing random sequences using online tools (https://www.sealedenvelope.com/) and by permuted block randomization method. Individualized random allocation is done in blocks with sizes 2 and 4, and with stratification based on gender. eligibility criteria are monitored by the person responsible for admitting patients. Codes in a random sequence are assigned to patients by the treatment team without knowing that each code is in the intervention or placebo group. Patient codes are then matched to randomly generated sequence information for interventions. (randomization concealment is done by the treatment team without informing the person responsible for admitting patients and the person who prepared the random sequence.)

Protocol summary

Study aim
This study aims to investigate the effect of recombinant erythropoietin on the recovery process of COVID-19 patients.
Design
Concealed, randomized, single blinded, phase 2 controlled clinical trial with two arm parallel group design of 20 patients, using the placebo in the control group.
Settings and conduct
This study will be performed at Shahid Mohammadi Hospital in Bandar Abbas. Patients enter the study after obtaining written consent, but will not know which group they belong to.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
All positive COVID-19 patients who have Hb≤9 and at least one of the severe COVID-19 symptoms and are willing to cooperate in this project will be included in the study. Patients with a history of coronary heart disease, thrombosis, deep vein thrombosis, chronic lung disease, diabetes mellitus, weakened immune system, end stage renal disease, liver disease, and patients with a history of taking oral contraceptive pills, systolic blood pressure more than 160 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure more than 90 mm Hg and age over 65 and erythropoietin above 500 are excluded.
Intervention groups
Patients are divided into two groups. In group A, the standard treatment for COVID-19 patients with recombinant erythropoietin is prescribed. In group B, patients receive standard COVID-19 treatment with the placebo.
Main outcome variables
Patient clinical symptoms, Laboratory examinations of patients and Hemoglobin

General information

Reason for update
Due to the decrease in the number of COVID-19 patients referring to our center and the results of studies that show a non-significant effect of sex factor on the severity of COVID-19, random allocation of patients have not been stratified according to gender. Due to the prevention of possible drug side effects, the dose of the intervention drug was reduced from 5 times a day to 3 times a day. The placebo dose was also reduced by the same amount.

Randomization description
Before assigning groups to individuals eligible to participate in the study, informed consent is completed for grouping individuals. the person who has no role in admitting patients and assigning patients to random codes preparing random sequences using online tools (https://www.sealedenvelope.com/) and by permuted block randomization method. Individualized random allocation is done in blocks with sizes 2 and 4, and without stratification. eligibility criteria are monitored by the person responsible for admitting patients. Codes in a random sequence are assigned to patients by the treatment team without knowing that each code is in the intervention or placebo group. Patient codes are then matched to randomly generated sequence information for interventions. (randomization concealment is done by the treatment team without informing the person responsible for admitting patients and the person who prepared the random sequence.)
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
In this study, all participants are aware of participating in this study and enter the study with their consent. All participants are unaware of which group of this study they are in and after grouping patients in the groups, Patients receive recombinant erythropoietin in the treatment group and receive a placebo in the control group. The lead researcher, health care personnel, data collection officials, and those who evaluate the outcome are aware of the grouping of patients. Those who prepare the draft of the article are unaware of the groupings if they do not cooperate in the above cases.
