Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the utility of high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) to measure changes in functional pulmonary imaging parameters as a function of iNO administration using the device INOpulse in relation to the corona virus disease. Changes from baseling to at least 5 minutes of iNO and after 5 days using iNO 8 to 24 h/day. Clinical evaluation of INOpulse for patients with COVID-19 using clinical and imaging endpoints;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): Clinical evaluation of INOpulse for patients with COVID-19 using clinical 1. Death 2. Hospitalized, requiring mechanical ventilation or ECMO 3. Hospitalized, requiring non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen 4. Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen 5. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19 related or otherwise) 6. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - not requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19 related or otherwise) 7. Not hospitalized - limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen 8. Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Assessed at the start of iNOpulse treatment,during treatment, upon completion of treatment and at follow up (Day 28).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The following CT derived anatomical and functional parameters should be reported based on the initial CT’s taken before and during iNO inhalation: imaged airway volume (iVaw), imaged airway resistance (iRaw), blood vessels volumes for different sized vessels (<5 mm2, between 5-10 mm2, larger than 10 mm2);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At baseline, after at least 5 minutes and after 5 daysof iNO (using 8 to 24 h/day)
