Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment for COVID-19 patients who are on mechanical ventilation and have ARDS. The treatment is a direct, topical T3 therapy that is instilled into the lungs.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with severe COVID-19-related lung damage (ARDS) who meet specific criteria, including recent onset of symptoms, certain x-ray findings, and need for mechanical breathing support. They must have a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection within the last 14 days. Pregnant individuals cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether directly applying T3 to the lungs of patients on ventilators can improve outcomes compared to a placebo. Patients are randomly assigned to receive either the actual T3 treatment or a placebo without any active medication.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the site of instillation, changes in thyroid hormone levels which could affect heart rate and metabolism, and possible interactions with other medications being used to treat COVID-19.
