Since then, the illness has spread rapidly around the country and the world reaching a pandemic level (Rocklöv J et al., 2020). Cases have been reported in more than 180 countries to the World Health Organization (WHO), including more than two million deaths (WHO, 2021).\n\nSeveral biochemical alterations have been described in COVID-19 patients as lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia and increased levels of C-reactive protein. The hallmark of severe COVID-19 is the cytokine storm accompanied by a hyperinflammatory response in the host due to the release of large amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, IL-2, IL-7, TNF-α, interferon-γ (IFN)-γ, CRP, procalcitonin (PCT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and ferritin (Marcello Ciaccio and Agnello, 2020; Shah A., 2020).\n\nThe inflammasome is a multiprotein complex, known for its role in the innate immune response against viral diseases and a regulator of processing of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18. Inflammasome contains a NOD-like receptor (NLR) sensor protein and pyrin domain-containing 3 , after which, NLRP3 Inflammasome was named (de Rivero Vaccari et al., 2020). The presence of inflammasome-derived products such as IL-1β, IL-18, and LDH in patients' sera suggests inflammasome engagement (Chen G et al., 2020).\n\nIncreased IL-6, IL-10, and IL-4 were found in patients when compared with controls, indicating that SARS-CoV-2 infects human monocytes and triggers NLRP3 inflammasome activation. However, the definitive demonstration of NRLP3 inflammasome participation is still required because these products can be produced via inflammasome-independent pathways (Rodrigues et al., 2021). But, the possible contribution of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and their ability to induce IL-1β production is still not clear .\n\nThe pronounced inflammatory characteristics of COVID-19 prompted us to investigate the expression of the NRLP3 inflammasome and its relation to IL-1B in disease development and severity and to determine the best anti-inflammatory will be used in COVID-19."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '90 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Covid 19 patients andcontrol', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adult Patient aged 18years and over presented to Assiut University Hospital\n* Suspected of covid19 because of the presence of symptoms suggestive of pneumonia (fever\\>38) and at least one of the following symptoms ;cough, dyspnea, tachpnea or hypoxia\n* having RT-PCR (confirmed positive PCR)\n* Chest CT within 5 days of initial PCR\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Cases less than 18 years old\n* Cancer patients (affect result of study as they have disrubted level of these biomarker)'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06080750', 'briefTitle': 'Potential Role of Inflammasome NLRP3 And IL-1B Gene Expression in COVID-19 Patients: Impact of Ferretin and D -Dimer.', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Assiut University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Potential Role of Inflammasome NLRP3 And IL-1B Gene Expression In COVID-19 Patients: Impact of Ferretin and D -Dimer.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'NLRP3 & IL-1B in covid19'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'healthy', 'description': 'as a control group', 'interventionNames': ['Genetic: Quantitative Real Time Polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR)', 'Diagnostic Test: ELISA and colorimeter']}, {'label': 'mild to moderate covid-19', 'description': 'mild-moderate symptoms', 'interventionNames': ['Genetic: Quantitative Real Time Polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR)', 'Diagnostic Test: ELISA and colorimeter']}, {'label': 'sever covid-19.', 'description': 'severe symptoms', 'interventionNames': ['Genetic: Quantitative Real Time Polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR)', 'Diagnostic Test: ELISA and colorimeter']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Quantitative Real Time Polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR)', 'type': 'GENETIC', 'otherNames': ['qRT-PCR'], 'description': 'to study gene expression of NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1B in blood', 'armGroupLabels': ['healthy', 'mild to moderate covid-19', 'sever covid-19.']}, {'name': 'ELISA and colorimeter', 'type': 'DIAGNOSTIC_TEST', 'description': 'IL-6 and total LDH', 'armGroupLabels': ['healthy', 'mild to moderate covid-19', 'sever covid-19.']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'city': 'Asyut', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'Egypt', 'facility': 'Biochemistry department,Faculty of medicine', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 27.18096, 'lon': 31.18368}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Tasneem A Alsanory, Master', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'tasneem.a.alsanory@gmail.com', 'phone': '+20106852153'}, {'name': 'Marwa A Gaber, M.D', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'marwagaber@aun.edu.eg', 'phone': '+201001883544'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Ayat A Sayed, M.D', 'role': 'STUDY_DIRECTOR', 'affiliation': 'associate professor'}, {'name': 'Mona A AlBaz, M.D', 'role': 'STUDY_CHAIR', 'affiliation': 'Professor'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'UNDECIDED'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Assiut University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Pharmacist', 'investigatorFullName': 'Tasneem Abdel-Baset Ahmed Aly', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Assiut University'}}}}
