Spironolactone and Dexamethasone in Patients Hospitalized With COVID-19 : Spironolactone and Dexamethasone in Patients Hospitalized With Moderate-to-severe COVID-19 (SPIDEX-II): a Randomized Clinical Trial

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a rapidly spreading infection of the respiratory tract. Most infected patients have either asymptomatic disease or mild symptoms. However, a proportion of patients, especially elderly men or patients with comorbidities, are at risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS, alongside clotting abnormalities, is known to be a major contributor to SARS-CoV-2-related mortality and admission to intensive care units, with evidenced effective preventative treatment options lacking. In this study, the investigators test a novel hypothesis that the use of a combination of spironolactone and dexamethasone at low doses will improve the clinical progression of the infection evaluated by the 6-point ordinal scale in patients with moderate and severe disease by blocking exocytosis of the Weibel-Palade bodies from endothelial cells..
