BACKGROUND: Tranilast is a potential NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor that may relieve progressive inflammation due to COVID-19.
AIM OF THE STUDY: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Tranilast in combination with antiviral drugs in non-ICU-admitted hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
METHODS: This study was an open-label clinical trial that included 72 hospitals admitted patients with severe COVID-19 at Razi Hospital, Ahvaz, Iran, from July 2020-August 2020. These patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to control (30) and intervention groups (30). Patients in the control group received antiviral therapy, while patients in the intervention group received Tranilast (300 mg daily) in addition to the antiviral drugs for Seven days. The collected data, including the expression of inflammatory cytokine, laboratory tests, and clinical findings, was used for intragroup comparisons.
RESULTS: The intervention group showed significantly lower levels of NLR (p = 0.001), q-CRP (p = 0.002), IL-1 (p = 0.001), TNF (p = 0.001), and LDH (p = 0.046) in comparison with the control group. The effect of intervention was significant in increasing the o2 saturation (F = 7.72, p = 0.007). Long hospitalization (four days or above) was 36.6% in the Tranilast and 66.6% in the control group (RR = 0.58; 95% CI: 0.38-1.06, p = 0.045). In the Tranilst and control groups, one and four deaths or hospitalization in ICU were observed respectively (RR = 0.31; 95% CI: 0.03-2.88, p = 0.20).
CONCLUSIONS: Tranilast might be used as an effective and safe adjuvant therapy and enhance the antiviral therapy's efficacy for managing patients with COVID-19.
