Sponsor's own description
As of 30/03/2020, 715600 people have been infected with COVID-19 worldwide and 35500 people died, essentially due to respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) complicated in 25% of the with acute renal failure. No specific pharmacological treatment is available yet. The lung lesions are related to both the viral infection and to an intense inflammatory reaction. Because of it's action, as an immunomodulatory agent that can attenuate the inflammatory reaction and also strengthen the antiviral response, it is proposed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intravenous immunoglobulin administration (IGIV) in patients developing ARDS post-SARS-CoV2. IGIV modulates immunity, and this effect results in a decrease of pro-inflammatory activity, key factor in the ARDS related to the COVID-19. It should be noted that IGIV is part of the treatments in various diseases such as autoimmune and inflammatory diffuse interstitial lung diseases. In addition, they have been beneficial in the post-influenza ARDS but also have been in 3 cases of post-SARS-CoV2 ARDS. IGIV is a treatment option because it is well tolerated, especially concerning the kidney. These elements encourage a placebo-controlled trial testing the benefit of IGIV in ARDS post-SARS-CoV2.
