4 The Impact of Camostat Mesilate on COVID-19 Infection: An Investigator-initiated Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Phase IIa Trial

SARS-CoV-2, one of a family of human coronaviruses, was initially identified in December 2019 in Wuhan city. This new coronavirus causes a disease presentation which has now been named COVID-19. The virus has subsequently spread throughout the world and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation on 11th March 2020. As of 18 March 2020, there are 198,193 number of confirmed cases with an estimated case-fatality of 3%. There is no approved therapy for COVID-19 and the current standard of care is supportive treatment. SARS-CoV-2 exploits the cell entry receptor protein angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE-2) to access and infect human cells. The interaction between ACE2 and the spike protein is not in the active site. This process requires the serine protease TMPRSS2. Camostat Mesilate is a potent serine protease inhibitor. Utilizing research on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the closely related SARS-CoV-2 cell entry mechanism, it has been demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 cellular entry can be blocked by camostat mesilate. In mice, camostat mesilate dosed at concentrations similar to the clinically achievable concentration in humans reduced mortality following SARS-CoV infection from 100% to 30-35%.

9 PRAETORIAN-COVID: A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Randomized Clinical Trial With Valsartan for PRevention of Acute rEspiraTORy dIstress Syndrome in hospitAlized patieNts With SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) Infection Disease

Rationale: The current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has a high burden of morbidity and mortality due to development of the so-called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) plays an important role in the development of ARDS. ACE2 is one of the enzymes involved in the RAS cascade. Virus spike protein binds to ACE2 to form a complex suitable for cellular internalization. The downregulation of ACE2 results in the excessive accumulation of angiotensin II, and it has been demonstrated that the stimulation of the angiotensin II type 1a receptor (AT1R) increases pulmonary vascular permeability, explaining the increased lung pathology when activity of ACE2 is decreased. Currently available AT1R blockers (ARBs) such as valsartan, have the potential to block this pathological process mediated by angiotensin II. There are presently two complementary mechanisms suggested: 1) ARBs block the excessive angiotensin-mediated AT1R activation, and 2) they upregulate ACE2, which reduces angiotensin II concentrations and increases the production of the protective vasodilator angiotensin 1-7. In light of the above, ARBs may prevent the development of ARDS and avert morbidity (admission to intensive care unit (ICU) and mechanical ventilation) and mortality. Objective: To investigate the effect of the ARB valsartan in comparison to placebo on the occurrence of one of the following items, within 14 days of randomization:1) ICU admission; 2) Mechanical ventilation; 3) Death. Study design: A double-blind, placebo-controlled 1:1 randomized clinical trial Study population: Adult hospitalized SARS-CoV-2-infected patients (n=651). Intervention: The active-treatment arm will receive valsartan in a dosage titrated to blood pressure up to a maximum of 160mg b.i.d. and the placebo arm will receive a matching placebo also titrated to blood pressure. Treatment duration will be 14 days or up to hospital discharge < 14 days or occurrence of the primary endpoint if < 14 days. Main study endpoint: The primary study endpoint is the occurrence within 14 days of randomization of either: 1) ICU admission; 2) Mechanical ventilation; 3) Death.

10 Will Hydroxychloroquine Impede or Prevent COVID-19: WHIP COVID-19 Study

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether the use of daily or weekly oral hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) therapy will prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 viremia and clinical COVID-19 infection healthcare workers (HCW) and first responders (FR) (EMS, Fire, Police, bus drivers) in Metro Detroit, Michigan. Preventing COVID-19 transmission to HCW, FR, and Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) bus drivers is a critical step in preserving the health care and first responder force, the prevention of COVID-19 transmission in health care facilities, with the potential to preserve thousands of lives in addition to sustaining health care systems and civil services both nationally and globally. If efficacious, further studies on the use of hydroxychloroquine to prevent COVID-19 in the general population could be undertaken, with a potential impact on hundreds of thousands of lives.

11 Hydroxychloroquine for Outpatients With Confirmed COVID-19

A novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is responsible for a rapidly spreading pandemic that has reached 160 countries, infecting over 500,000 individuals and killing more than 24,000 people. SARS-CoV-2 causes an acute and potentially lethal respiratory illness, known as COVID-19, that is threatening to overwhelm health care systems due to a dramatic surge in hospitalized and critically ill patients. Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 typically have been symptomatic for 5-7 days prior to admission, indicating that there is a window during which an effective intervention could significantly alter the course of illness, lessen disease spread, and alleviate the stress on hospital resources. There is no known treatment for COVID-19, though in vitro and one poorly controlled study have identified a potential antiviral activity for HCQ. The rationale for this clinical trial is to measure the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine for reducing viral load and shedding in adult outpatients with confirmed COVID-19.

13 Immune Monitoring of Prophylactic Effect of Hydroxychloroquine in Healthcare Providers Highly Exposed to SARS-Cov-2

This is a PILOT STUDY, a Phase III double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study in which we assess the clinical effect of the prophylactic administration of hydroxychloroquine vs. placebo to healthcare workers working at our University Hospital (HUN). Participants in each arm (n = 43) will be administered with a unique loading dose of 800 mg of hydroxychloroquine the first day followed by 400 mg/week for 90 days. The population to be studied (uninfected healthcare personnel) will be highly exposed to SARS-CoV-2 infection. An active search should be made for individuals who become infected while participating in the study, hence, once the informed consent form is signed, the molecular test for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection by RT-PCR will be carried out every 4 days in order to determine as closely as possible the moment the participant becomes positive. The results of the diagnostic RT-qPCR tests will be confronted with: (i) the results of immune monitoring of at least 30 immunological parameters in leukocytes and in plasma (levels of selected cytokines and chemokines analyzed by automated flow cytometry software and (ii) the daily recording of data for the presence or absence of signs and symptoms associated with SARS-Cov-2 infection. For the recording of immune monitoring 20mL blood samples will be taken at eight-time points throughout the 90 days of the stud.

17 Randomized Trial Evaluating Effect of Outpatient Hydroxychloroquine on Reducing Hospital Admissions in Pregnant Women With SARS-CoV-2 Infection: HyPreC Trial

COVID-19 was declared a pandemic on March 11th. Efforts to save lives are essential as we will face increasing morbidity with rising demands on health care resources. Since pregnant women with COVID-19 have systematically been excluded from drug trials, potential treatment options for these high-risk individuals remain untested. The aim of our trial is to determine whether hydroxychloroquine given to COVID-19 positive pregnant women can reduce COVID-19-related hospital admissions, thereby allowing women to stay at home while limiting utilization of hospital resources and resulting exposure of health care providers.

19 Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial of the Use of Colchicine for the Management of Patients With Mild and Severe SARS-Cov2 Infection

The world is currently facing a pandemic due to the outbreak of a new coronavirus causing acute respiratory failure called SARS-Cov2. The majority of patients (8 out of 10) are known to have mild disease, manifested by respiratory tract symptoms associated with fever, headache, and body pain. However, it is possible that the disease progresses to a severe stage, whith the need for mechanical ventilation support associated with high morbidity and mortality. The progression of the disease is mainly due to the appearance of uncontrolled inflammation that also favors the development of disseminated clots. So far, there is no effective treatment to combat coronavirus; however, the use of anti-inflammatory drugs is potentially effective in preventing complications from the disease. In this regard, low dose colchicine is relatively safe and effective as an anti-inflammatory. It has been used for many years in the control of inflammation secondary to the accumulation of uric acid crystals. The aim of this study is to test if the administration of colchicine at a dose of 1.5 mg the first day and subsequently 0.5 mg BID until completing 10 days of treatment is effective as a treatment for inflammation related symptoms in patients with mild and severe disease secondary to coronavirus infection. The primary outcome is improvement of symptoms related to inflammation and avoiding progression to severe and critical stages of the disease. Colchicine can be discontinued before the end of 10 days in case of serious adverse effects or if the patient progresses to the critical stages of the disease.

20 Efficacy and Safety of Hydroxychloroquine in Primary Prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Healthcare Workers at Risk of Exposure: Randomised Control Trial

Healthcare personnel are at an increased risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 infection while handling such patients. Currently, there is no treatment available for SARS-CoV-2 and stringent preventive measures are advised to avoid or minimize risk of exposure to healthcare workers. There are in vitro studies available which show inhibition of corona virus by hydroxychloroquine, a widely-used agent against malaria and certain autoimmune conditions and of low-cost and limited toxicity. However, evidence regarding its effects in patients is limited. We plan to conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the safety and potential prophylactic efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in preventing secondary SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers at high-risk of exposure while managing such patients.
