Ongoing clinical trials of surfactant therapy for COVID-19.

NCT Preparation Conditions Primary purpose Intervention Status
NCT04384731 CUROSURF® (Poractant alfa) COVID-19, ARDS Design a new administration protocol for surfactant replacement therapy in adults, to be tested in COVID-19 adult ARDS patients. Patient receiving surfactant (48 mg/kg) administered by bronchial fibroscopy. The total volume was divided in each of the five lobar bronchi. Phase II
NCT04502433 CUROSURF® (Poractant alfa) COVID-19, ARDS Evaluate the efficacy and safety of poractant alfa, administered by endotracheal instillation in adult hospitalized patients with SARS-COV-19 ARDS. Three administrations with a 24 h dosing interval. Each endotracheal administration will consist of poractant alfa bolus: 30 mg/kg Lean Body Weight. Phase II
NCT04375735 Bovine Lipid Extract Surfactant (BLES) COVID-19, ARDS Improve the mortality of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients. The primary goal is to first determine feasibility and safety. BLES was administered in doses of 50 mg/kg ideal bodyweight, at a concentration of 27 mg/mL so a total volume of approximately 2 mL/kg was administered. The material was instilled via the suction catheter. Phase II
NCT04389671 Lucinactant Sinapultide (KL4) Surfactant COVID-19, Acute Lung Injury, ARDS Evaluate whether Lucinactant can improve the acute lung injury and ARDS of COVID-19 patients. Lucinactant administered as a liquid at a dose of 80 mg total phospholipids/kg Lean Body Weight. Phase II
NCT04362059 COVSurf Drug Respiratory Infections Evaluate the delivery of surfactant in patient lungs using the COVSurf Drug Delivery System. COVSurf Drug Delivery System. Not Applicable
NCT04847375 Exogenous surfactant COVID-19, ARDS Evaluate effect of exogenous nebulized surfactant in the pre-intubation stages of the disease. Nebulized surfactant was administered by face mask with a nebulizer. Not Applicable
NCT04659122 AT-100 (rhSP-D) COVID-19 Determine if an investigational drug, AT-100, is safe and tolerated by adults who have severe COVID-19. Reconstituted AT-100 for intratracheal administration. Phase I
