ABSTRACT

Introduction: Infection with SARS-CoV-2 induces a prothrombotic state in patients, by the combination of hyperinflammatory response and hypoxia. In Cuba, the drug called Jusvinza, based on an immunomodulatory peptide, is used for the treatment of patients with COVID-19, who present signs and symptoms of hyperinflammation.
Objectives: To describe the clinical course and behavior of various biomarkers associated with the inflammation and coagulation, in a group of critically ill patients with COVID-19 treated with Jusvinza, compared to a group of patients who did not receive treatment with this peptide.
Methods: 40 critically ill patients with COVID-19 were included. The patients were divided into 2 groups: 20 patients were treated with Jusvinza and 20 were not treated with this peptide (control group). Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, vital signs, respiratory parameters and inflammation and coagulation biomarkers were obtained from the medical records of each patient.
Results: Treatment with Jusvinza induced a clinical improvement in the patients, associated with the decrease of several inflammation and coagulation biomarkers. Patients treated with Jusvinza had a significantly higher survival than patients not treated with this peptide.
Conclusions: Jusvinza is able to control hyperinflammation and hypercoagulation in critical ill patients with COVID-19.
