Low Dose Anti-inflammatory Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Pneumonia by COVID-19

Overview

Low radiation doses produce anti-inflammatory effects, which may be useful in the treatment of respiratory complications of COVID-19. This type of treatment is non-invasive and therefore, a priori, it can be used in all types of patients. Main objective: To evaluate the efficacy of low-dose lung irradiation as an adjunctive treatment in interstitial pneumonia in patients with COVID-19 by improving the PAFI O2 by 20% measured 48h after treatment with respect to the pre baseline measurement. -irradiation.

Study design: This is a prospective multicenter study in 2 phases: 1. Exploratory phase. It will include 10 patients, to assess the feasibility and efficacy of low-dose lung irradiation. If a minimum efficiency of 30% is not achieved, the study will not be continued. 2. Comparative phase in two groups, a control group, which will only receive pharmacological treatment, and an experimental one. It will include 96 patients, the allocation will be 1: 2, that is, 32 in the control arm and 64 in the experimental arm, which will receive low-dose lung irradiation.
