COV-BARRIER Trial Summary

This trial will test if the drug baricitinib can help treat children in the hospital with COVID-19 and what the right dose is.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for hospitalized children aged 1 to <18 with COVID-19 who need supplemental oxygen but are not on invasive ventilation or ECMO. They should have confirmed respiratory disease from COVID-19 and be stable enough not to require hospital transfer within 72 hours. Children with severe liver issues, poor kidney function, known drug allergies, high risk of blood clots, certain infections or immunosuppression conditions are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness and safety of Baricitinib in pediatric patients hospitalized with COVID-19. It aims to confirm the appropriate dosage for treating these young patients effectively without causing harm.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for this age group aren't listed here, Baricitinib may generally cause immune system suppression leading to increased infection risk, liver enzyme elevations indicating potential liver injury, allergic reactions, and possibly blood clotting issues.
