Brief summary

The study explores the efficacy of lopinavir plus ritonavir and arbidol in treating with novel coronavirus infection. As a result this study would provide evidence for the clinical usage of these drugs in the future .

Detailed description

This is a phase IV, open-labelled, randomized controlled clinical trial. A total of 125 cases who are novel coronavirus positive are planned to be recruited. These cases are randomized into 3 groups: in group A(Standard treatment+lopinavir/ritonavir), 50 cases are given ordinary treatment plus a regimen of lopinavir (200mg) and ritonavir (50mg) (oral, q12h, every time 2 tablets of each, taking for 7-14 days). In group B(Standard treatment+arbidol) , 50 cases are given ordinary treatment plus a regimen of arbidol (100mg) (oral, tid, 200mg each time, taking for 7-14 days). In group C(Standard treatment), 25 cases are only given ordinary treatment. The observation duration is 21 days. Patients will be followed up at baseline (day 0) and day 2, 4, 7, 10,14, 21 after receiving indicated treatment. The primary observed indicators include viral nucleic in acid nose / throat swab, body temperature, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation of blood, chest imaging. The secondary observed indicators include but not limited to blood pressure, heart rate, blood routine test, liver and kidney function, myocardial enzyme, flow cytometry classification and counting, cytokines, other infection indicators, conditions and parameters of auxiliary respiration, the total days in hospital, exacerbation and mortality.

Intervention model description

125 patients are randomized in 3 groups (2:2:1). In group A(Standard treatment+lopinavir/ritonavir) , 50 cases are given ordinary treatment plus a regimen of lopinavir (200mg) and ritonavir (50mg) (oral, q12h, every time 2 tablets of each, taking for 7-14 days). In group B (Standard treatment+arbidol), 50 cases are given ordinary treatment plus a regimen of arbidol (100mg) (oral, tid, 200mg each time, taking for 7-14 days). In group C (Standard treatment), 25 cases are only given ordinary treatment.
