1 Platelet Inhibition With GP IIb/IIIa Inhibitor in Critically Ill Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). A Compassionate Use Protocol

This is a compassionate use, proof of concept, phase IIb, prospective, interventional, pilot study in which the investigators will evaluate the effects of compassionate-use treatment with IV tirofiban 25 mcg/kg, associated with acetylsalicylic acid IV, clopidogrel PO and fondaparinux 2.5 mg s/c, in patients affected by severe respiratory failure in Covid-19 associated pneumonia who underwent treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

2 Incidence of Acute Pulmonary Embolism in Covid-19 Patients on CT Angiography and Relationship to D-dimer Levels

Reports of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) associated with COVID-19 have emerged in the literature. For example, Chen et al. described 25 pulmonary CT angiograms examinations from 1008 COVID-19 patients; 10 were positive for pulmonary embolism mostly as segmental or sub-segmental APE. Case reports of APE in Covid-19 patients have been published. Cui et al. found an incidence of deep venous thrombosis in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with severe Covid-19 pneumonia near to 25% (20/81), however without any correlation with potential APE. Despite these initial reports, it is not clear whether APE is more frequent in Covid-19 patients or if the association is just random. In favor of the former, D-dimer levels have been reported as elevated in patients with Covid-19 by two studies, and it has been suggested an independent association between the severity of the disease and the level of D-dimer. Finally, Tang et al. showed that anticoagulant therapy is associated with a decreased mortality at Day-28 in severe Covid-19 patients, in favor of a possible associated coagulopathy. The purpose of this study is to describe the rate of pulmonary embolus in patients classified as COVID-19 infection and who underwent chest CT angiography. The purpose of this study is to describe the rate of pulmonary embolus in patients classified as COVID-19 infection and who underwent chest CT angiography.

3 Effectiveness of Weight-adjusted Prophylactic Low Molecular Weight Heparin Doses Compared With Lower Fixed Prophylactic Doses to Prevent Venous Thromboembolism in COVID-2019. The Multicenter Randomized Controlled Open-label Trial COVI-DOSE

Worldwide observational studies indicate a significant prothrombogenic effect associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection with a high incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE), notably life-threatening pulmonary embolism. According to recommendations for acute medical illnesses, all COVID-19 hospitalized patients should be given VTE prophylaxis such as a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). A standard prophylactic dose (eg. Enoxaparin 4000IU once daily) could be insufficient in obese patients and VTE has been reported in patients treated with a standard prophylactic dose. In COVID-19 patients, guidelines from several international societies confirm the existence of an hypercoagulability and the importance of thromboprophylaxis but the "optimal dose is unknown" and comparative studies are needed. In view of these elements, carrying out a trial comparing various therapeutic strategies for the prevention of VTE in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 constitutes a health emergency. Thus, we hypothesize that an increased prophylactic dose of weight-adjusted LMWH would be greater than a lower prophylactic dose of LMWH to reduce the risk of life-threatening VTE in hospitalized patients. The benefit-risk balance of this increase dose will be carefully evaluated because of bleeding complications favored by possible renal / hepatic dysfunctions, drug interactions or invasive procedures in COVID-19 patients. This multicenter randomized (1:1) open-label controlled trial will randomize hospitalized adults with COVID-19 infection to weight-adjusted prophylactic dose vs. lower prophylactic dose of LMWH.

4 Risk of Venous Thromboembolism in Critically Ill Patients With Severe COVID-19

Severe COVID-19 patients at a high risk of venous thromboembolism. We studied patients in 2 intensive care units of university hospitals in Barcelona and Badalona, Spain. We performed a cut-off screening of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with bilateral duplex ultrasound to 230 patients.

5 Study of the Prevalence of Deep Vein Thrombosis in Patients Hospitalized in Intensive Care for Acute Respiratory Failure Linked to Pneumonia Documented With SARS-COV2

Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) has been identified as the pathogen responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome associated with severe inflammatory syndrome and pneumonia (COVID-19). Haemostasis abnormalities have been shown to be associated with a poor prognosis in these patients with this pneumonia. In a Chinese series of 183 patients, the hemostasis balance including thrombin time, fibrinogenemia, fibrin degradation products and antithrombin III were within normal limits. Only the D-Dimer assay was positive in the whole cohort with an average rate of 0.66 µg / mL (normal <50 µg / mL). These hemostasis parameters were abnormal mainly in patients who died during their management; the levels of D-dimers and fibrin degradation products were significantly higher while the antithrombin III was reduced. The findings on the particular elevation of D-dimers in deceased patients as well as the significant increase in thrombin time were also reported in another series. Higher numbers of pulmonary embolisms have been reported in patients with severe form of SARS-COV2 (data in press). This research is based on the hypothesis that the existence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) could make it possible to screen patients at risk of pulmonary embolism and to set up a curative anticoagulation. The main objective is to describe the prevalence of deep vein thrombosis in patients hospitalized in intensive care for acute respiratory failure linked to documented SARS-COV2 pneumonia, within 24 hours of their admission.
