Интерферон гамма в терапии пациентов с COVID-19 среднетяжёлого течения
https://doi.org/10.36233/0507-4088-24Аннотация
Введение. Интерфероны вырабатываются в ответ на внедрение патогена в клетку и отвечают за правильное формирование иммунного ответа. Предварительные исследования с участием пациентов с внебольничной пневмонией (в т.ч. бактериального генеза), острой респираторной вирусной инфекцией (ОРВИ), гриппом и новой коронавирусной инфекцией COVID-19 по изучению свойств рекомбинантного интерферона гамма (ИФН-γ) показали обнадёживающие результаты.
Цель данной работы - оценка влияния ИФН-γ при подкожном введении у лиц с вирусной пневмонией на динамику жизненно важных показателей и длительность госпитализации.
Материал и методы. В открытое рандомизированное малоинтервенционное исследование были включены пациенты старше 18 лет обоих полов с новой коронавирусной инфекцией среднетяжёлого течения. Препарат ИФН-γ назначался по 500 000 МЕ подкожно 1 раз в сутки ежедневно на протяжении 5 дней.
Результаты. Установлена более благоприятная динамика стабилизации жизненно важных показателей в сочетании с сокращением длительности лихорадки и продолжительности госпитализации на 2 сут при применении ИФН-γ в дополнение к комплексной терапии, что позволяет предположить позитивное влияние этого вещества на процессы восстановления больных со среднетяжёлой степенью COVID-19. Особого внимания заслуживает тот факт, что получавшие рекомбинантный ИФН-γ не имели прогрессирования дыхательной недостаточности и не требовали перевода в отделение интенсивной терапии (ОРИТ). Обсуждение. Представленная работа подтверждает полученные ранее данные о положительном влиянии ИФН-γ на скорость клинической стабилизации и выздоровления лиц с внебольничными пневмониями и вирусными инфекциями. Результаты настоящего исследования ограничены небольшим количеством участников и требуют дальнейшего изучения свойств препарата в рамках пострегистрационных исследований.
Заключение. Прогресс в лечении больных среднетяжёлой формой COVID-19 путём дополнения комплексной терапии рекомбинантным ИФН-y может обоснованно расширить ряд существующих методов лечения этой инфекции.

Interferon gamma in the treatment of patients with moderate COVID-19
https://doi.org/10.36233/0507-4088-24Abstract
Introduction. Interferons are produced in response to the presence of pathogens in cells and are responsible for the proper formation of immune reaction. Preliminary data obtained in studies of properties of recombinant interferon gamma (IFN-γ) that involved patients with community-acquired pneumonia (including bacterial), acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI), influenza and new coronavirus infection have shown promising results.
The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of subcutaneous administration of IFN-γ in patients with viral pneumonia on the changes of vital signs and the duration of hospital stay.
Material and methods. An open-label, randomized, low-interventional study included patients with moderate new coronavirus infection COVID-19 over 18 years of age of both sexes. IFN-γ 500,000 IU was administered s/c, daily, once a day, during 5 days.
Results. IFN-y in addition to complex therapy of the disease resulted in more favorable changes in the stabilization of vital signs, as well as in reduced length of fever and hospital stay by 2 days what allows suggesting a positive effect of this substance on the recovery processes in patients with moderate COVID-19. Special emphasis should be made to the fact that patients who received recombinant IFN- γ experienced no progression of respiratory failure and required no transfer to intensive care unit.
Discussion. This study confirms earlier obtained data on the positive effect of IFN-y on the rate of clinical stabilization and recovery of patients with community-acquired pneumonia and viral infections. Presented results are limited to a small number of patients; further study of drug properties in post-marketing studies is required.
Conclusion. Progress in the treatment of patients with moderate COVID-19 by adding recombinant IFN-γ to the complex therapy may reasonably expand the range of existing treatment options for this infection.
