1 Fibrinolytic Therapy to Treat ARDS in the Setting of COVID-19 Infection: A Phase 2a Clinical Trial

The global pandemic COVID-19 has overwhelmed the medical capacity to accommodate a large surge of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In the United States, the number of cases of COVID-19 ARDS is projected to exceed the number of available ventilators. Reports from China and Italy indicate that 22-64% of critically ill COVID-19 patients with ARDS will die. ARDS currently has no evidence-based treatments other than low tidal ventilation to limit mechanical stress on the lung and prone positioning. A new therapeutic approach capable of rapidly treating and attenuating ARDS secondary to COVID-19 is urgently needed. The dominant pathologic feature of viral-induced ARDS is fibrin accumulation in the microvasculature and airspaces. Substantial preclinical work suggests antifibrinolytic therapy attenuates infection provoked ARDS. In 2001, a phase I trial 7 demonstrated the urokinase and streptokinase were effective in patients with terminal ARDS, markedly improving oxygen delivery and reducing an expected mortality in that specific patient cohort from 100% to 70%. A more contemporary approach to thrombolytic therapy is tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) due to its higher efficacy of clot lysis with comparable bleeding risk 8. We therefore propose a phase IIa clinical trial with two intravenous (IV) tPA treatment arms and a control arm to test the efficacy and safety of IV tPA in improving respiratory function and oxygenation, and consequently, successful extubation, duration of mechanical ventilation and survival.

Primary Outcomes

Description: Ideally, the PaO2/FiO2 will be measured with the patient in the same prone/supine position as in baseline, as change in positions may artificially reduce the improvement attributable to the study drug. However, given the pragmatic nature of the trial, the prone/supine position will be determined by the attending physician, in which case, we will use as an outcome the PaO2/FiO2 closest to the 48 hours obtained prior to the change in position as the outcome.

Measure: PaO2/FiO2 improvement from pre-to-post intervention

Time: at 48 hours post randomization

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Achievement of PaO2/FiO2 ≥ 200 or 50% increase in PaO2/FiO2 (whatever is lower)

Measure: Achievement of PaO2/FiO2 ≥ 200 or 50% increase in PaO2/FiO2

Time: at 48 hours post randomization

Description: 48 hour mortality for hospitalized patients

Measure: 48 hour in-hospital mortality

Time: at 48 hours post randomization

Description: 14 days mortality for hospitalized patients

Measure: 14 days in-hospital mortality

Time: 14 days post randomization

Description: 28 days mortality for hospitalized patients

Measure: 28 days in-hospital mortality

Time: 28 days post randomization

Description: ICU-free days will be calculated based on (28 - number of days spent in the ICU) formula

Measure: ICU-free days

Time: 28 days of hospital stay or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)

Description: In-hospital coagulation-related events include bleeding, stroke, myocardial infarction and venous thromboembolism (VTE). In-hospital coagulation-related event-free (arterial and venous) days will be calculated based on (28 - number of days without coagulation-related event) formula.

Measure: In-hospital coagulation-related event-free (arterial and venous) days

Time: 28 days of hospital stay or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)

Description: Ventilator-free days will be calculated based on (28 - number of days on mechanical ventilation) formula.

Measure: Ventilator-free days

Time: 28 days of hospital stay or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)

Description: Calculated for patients who was on a mechanical ventilation any period of time during hospitalization. The extubation will be considered successful if no re-intubation occurred for more than 3 days have passed after the initial extubation.

Measure: Successful extubation

Time: Day 4 after initial extubation

Description: Calculated for patients who was on paralytics at the time of randomization. The weaning will be considered successful if no paralytics were used for more than 3 days have passed after termination of paralytics.

Measure: Successful weaning from paralysis

Time: Day 4 after initial termination of paralytics

Description: Is counted for the patients who was alive at the time of discharge.

Measure: Survival to discharge

Time: 28 days of hospital stay or until hospital discharge (whichever comes first)
