disulfiram and Sepsis

disulfiram has been researched along with Sepsis in 6 studies

Sepsis: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome with a proven or suspected infectious etiology. When sepsis is associated with organ dysfunction distant from the site of infection, it is called severe sepsis. When sepsis is accompanied by HYPOTENSION despite adequate fluid infusion, it is called SEPTIC SHOCK.

Trial Outcomes

Change in COVID-19 Symptom Severity Score as Assessed by a 5-point Adapted Somatic Symptom Severity Score (SSS-8)

"The severity of COVID-19 symptoms will be recorded on a 5-point symptom severity scale at each visit for each participant. A question about how much the symptoms bother the participants will be asked. The participant will rank 1 as not at all, 2 as a little bit, 3 as somewhat, 4 as quite a bit and 5 as very much. Higher values represent worse outcomes. Scales are combined to compute a total score at Day 0 and Day 31. A change of the median is reported." (NCT04485130)
Timeframe: Day 0 and Day 31

Interventionunits on a scale (Median)
Cohort 1: Disulfiram-2.60
Cohort 1: Placebo-2.14

Virologic Impact of 5 Days of Disulfiram, as Measured by the Change in Copies of SARS-CoV-2 Virus Per mL Between Baseline and Day 31.

Change in copies of SARS-CoV-2 PCR virus per mL between Baseline and Day 31. (NCT04485130)
Timeframe: Day 0 and Day 31

Interventioncopies/mL (Mean)
Cohort 1: Disulfiram 1000 mg-20.89
Cohort 1: Placebo-20

Immunologic Impact of 5 Days of Disulfiram, as Measured by the Fold-change in Plasma Levels of Pro-inflammatory Cytokines (e.g, Interleukin 6, Interleukin 1-beta, Etc.).

Change in plasma inflammatory biomarker levels (e.g., IL-6, IL-1b) at days 5, 15, and 31. (NCT04485130)
Timeframe: Day 0 and Day 31

Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0

The safety and tolerability of a 5 day course of disulfiram. The number of adverse events and their grade will be determined for each participant. (NCT04485130)
