Abstract Background The rapid emergence and the high disease burden of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 have created a medical need for readily available drugs that can decrease viral replication or blunt the hyperinflammatory state leading to severe COVID-19 disease. Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic, known for its immunomodulatory properties. It has shown antiviral effect specifically against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro and acts on cytokine signaling pathways that have been implicated in COVID-19. Methods DAWn-AZITHRO is a randomized, open-label, phase 2 proof-of-concept, multicenter clinical trial, evaluating the safety and efficacy of azithromycin for treating hospitalized patients with COVID-19. It is part of a series of trials testing promising interventions for COVID-19, running in parallel and grouped under the name DAWn-studies. Patients hospitalized on dedicated COVID wards are eligible for study inclusion when they are symptomatic (i.e., clinical or radiological signs) and have been diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last 72 h through PCR (nasopharyngeal swab or bronchoalveolar lavage) or chest CT scan showing typical features of COVID-19 and without alternate diagnosis. Patients are block-randomized (9 patients) with a 2:1 allocation to receive azithromycin plus standard of care versus standard of care alone. Standard of care is mostly supportive, but may comprise hydroxychloroquine, up to the treating physician’s discretion and depending on local policy and national health regulations. The treatment group receives azithromycin qd 500 mg during the first 5 consecutive days after inclusion. The trial will include 284 patients and recruits from 15 centers across Belgium. The primary outcome is time from admission (day 0) to life discharge or to sustained clinical improvement, defined as an improvement of two points on the WHO 7-category ordinal scale sustained for at least 3 days. Discussion The trial investigates the urgent and still unmet global need for drugs that may impact the disease course of COVID-19. It will either provide support or else justify the discouragement of the current widespread, uncontrolled use of azithromycin in patients with COVID-19. The analogous design of other parallel trials of the DAWN consortium will amplify the chance of identifying successful treatment strategies and allow comparison of treatment effects within an identical clinical context.

Abstract Background Newer strategies that target the microbiome may offer an alternative therapeutic approach for Ulcerative Colitis (UC). We developed a novel diet that targets changes in the microbiome and barrier function that have been reported in UC. The goal of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of two sequential induction of remission strategies that target the microbiota: the novel diet termed the ulcerative colitis diet (UCD) and an antibiotics cocktail combination in dietary non responders. Methods This was a prospective, single arm, open label, pilot study in patients aged 8–19, with a pediatric UC activity index (PUCAI) scores >10 and ≤45 on stable maintenance therapy (5ASA or thiopurines). PUCAI score was assessed at week 3 and 6. Patients failing to enter remission or intolerant to dietary therapy could receive an open label 14-day course of Amoxycillin, Metronidazole and Doxycycline (AMD), and had PUCAI scored at day 21. Response was defined a decline in PUCAI ≥ 10 points, remission as PUCAI< 10. The primary endpoint was intention to treat (ITT) remission at week 6 with diet as the sole intervention. Results Twenty-three children mean age of 15.1±2.9 years were enrolled. Two patients (1 responder, 1 remission) withdrew by 3 weeks, four required additional therapy by week 3, all were considered failures by ITT. Mean PUCAI decreased at week 3 and 6 from 34.5±9.8 to 21.7±14.9 and 17.6±17.2 respectively (P=0.005, P=0.001) at ITT analysis including all patients. Sixteen out of twenty-three patients (69.6%) responded by week 6. Ten of twenty-three (43.5%) achieved remission by week 6, and nine (39.1%) had clinical remission at week 6. The median fecal calprotectin (FC) level decreased in patients (n=5) who achieved remission from 630 (IQR, 332–1586) μg/g at week 0 to 230 (75–1298) μg/g at week 6. Eight patients received treatment with antibiotics after failing diet, 4/8 (50.0%) subsequently entered remission. Conclusion A dietary intervention called the UC Diet appears to be effective for induction of remission in children with mild to moderate UC. Sequential use of diet, followed by antibiotic therapy in dietary non responders, needs further evaluation as a microbiome directed steroid sparing therapy in patient’s refractory to 5ASA and thiopurines.
