1 Open Label Randomized Controlled Trial of Ultraprotective Ventilation Without Extracorporeal Circulation in Patients With COVID 19 Pneumonia and Moderate to Severe ARDS

Mortality of COVID-19 pneumonia with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is extremely high in preliminary reports amounting to 50-60%. Duration of mechanical ventilation in these patients appears to exceed standard duration of mechanical ventilation in non-COVID-19 ARDS patients, suggesting that COVID-19 patients may be particularly at risk for ventilator-induced lung injury. Treatment of COVID-19 ARDS patients is to date mainly supportive with protective mechanical ventilation (ventilation with low tidal volume (VT) i.e. 6 ml/kg of predicted body weight (PBW) and plateau pressure control below 30 cm H2O). Mechanical ventilation with VT reduction below 6 ml/kg PBW in ARDS may reduce alveolar strain, driving pressure and hence ventilator-induced lung injury. Investigators recently performed a multicenter pilot study on 34 moderately severe to severe ARDS patients. This study demonstrated that ultraprotective ventilation with ultra-low VT (≤4.2 ml/kg PBW) without extracorporeal circulation may be applied in approximately 2/3 of the patients, with a 4 cmH2O median reduction in driving pressure, at the price of transient episodes of severe acidosis in approximately 1/3 of the patients. Investigators hypothesized that ultraprotective ventilation without extracorporeal circulation may reduce the mortality at day-90 and increase the number of days free from mechanical ventilation (VFD) at day-60, as compared to protective ventilation.

2 Value of Early Treatment With Polyvalent Immunoglobulin in the Management of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Associated With SARS-CoV-2 Infections

As of 30/03/2020, 715600 people have been infected with COVID-19 worldwide and 35500 people died, essentially due to respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) complicated in 25% of the with acute renal failure. No specific pharmacological treatment is available yet. The lung lesions are related to both the viral infection and to an intense inflammatory reaction. Because of it's action, as an immunomodulatory agent that can attenuate the inflammatory reaction and also strengthen the antiviral response, it is proposed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intravenous immunoglobulin administration (IGIV) in patients developing ARDS post-SARS-CoV2. IGIV modulates immunity, and this effect results in a decrease of pro-inflammatory activity, key factor in the ARDS related to the COVID-19. It should be noted that IGIV is part of the treatments in various diseases such as autoimmune and inflammatory diffuse interstitial lung diseases. In addition, they have been beneficial in the post-influenza ARDS but also have been in 3 cases of post-SARS-CoV2 ARDS. IGIV is a treatment option because it is well tolerated, especially concerning the kidney. These elements encourage a placebo-controlled trial testing the benefit of IGIV in ARDS post-SARS-CoV2.

3 Streptokinase Versus Unfractionated Heparin Nebulization in Patients With Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS): A Partially Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Intra-alveolar clotting and alveolar collapse in ARDS is due to alveolar capillaries epithelial and leakage. Subsequently, collapse induces hypoxemia that is resistant to recruitment (RM). Heparin and Streptokinase may prevent or dissolve intra-alveolar fibrin clot respectively helping alveolar re-expansion. We examined and compared the effect of nebulizing Heparin versus Streptokinase on reversing this pathology. Methods: Sixty severe ARDS (PaO2/FiO2<100) patients and failure of RM, prone position (PP) and neuromuscular block (NMB) were partially randomised into Group (I): (n=20) received nebulized Heparin 10000 IU/4h. Group (II): (n=20) received nebulized Streptokinase 250,000 IU/4h. Group (III): (n=20) received conservative management. Randomization to either Heparin or Streptokinase groups was applied to patients whom guardian accepted participation, while those who declined participation were followed-up as a control. The primary outcome was the change in PaO2/FiO2; the secondary outcomes included the change in compliance, plateau pressure, ventilation-off days, coagulation and ICU mortality.

4 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.

6 Repair of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome by Stromal Cell Administration (REALIST): An Open Label Dose Escalation Phase 1 Trial Followed by a Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 2 Trial (COVID-19)

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) causes the lungs to fail due to the collection of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary oedema). ARDS is common in severely ill patients in Intensive Care Units and is associated with a high mortality and a high morbidity in those who survive. ARDS occurs in approximately 20% case of COVID-19 and respiratory failure is the leading cause of mortality. There is a large economic burden with direct healthcare costs, but also indirectly due to the impact on the carer and patient through the patients inability to return to full time employment. There is little evidence for effective drug (pharmacological) treatment for ARDS. There is increasing information that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) might be important in treating ARDS. REALIST will investigate if a single infusion of MSCs will help in the treatment of ARDS. The first step will be to first of all determine what dose of MSCs is safe and then divide patients suffering from ARDS into two groups, one of which will get MSCs and the other a harmless dummy (or placebo) infusion, who will then be followed up to determine if lung function improves. If effective this may lead to further research to determine if MSCs are effective in patients with ARDS.

7 Implementation of Lung Protective Ventilation in Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure

This is a quality improvement study with the purpose of observing and measuring the effects of implementation of a proven standardized lung protective ventilation protocol in the new electronic medical record system iCentra across all Intermountain Healthcare hospitals. Approximately 14,000 records will be accessed for this study from a database of mechanically ventilated patients established for quality improvement purposes. The investigators hypothesize that implementation of a standardized computerized lung protective ventilation protocol across all Intermountain Healthcare hospitals will be feasible, will decrease initial tidal volumes to the target 6 ml/kg PBW, and will improve outcomes. The objectives of this study are to: - Determine if the implementation of lung protective ventilation (with a 6 ml/kg PBW tidal volume ventilation protocol on initiation of mechanical ventilation) improves outcomes in patients with acute respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation - Determine if the implementation of lung protective ventilation (with a 6 ml/kg PBW tidal volume ventilation protocol on initiation of mechanical ventilation) improves outcomes in the sub-group of patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) - Measure compliance with the implementation of a computerized lung protective ventilation protocol at 12 Intermountain Healthcare hospitals

8 Streptokinase Versus Unfractionated Heparin Nebulization in Patients With Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS): A Partially Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Intra-alveolar clotting and alveolar collapse in ARDS is due to alveolar capillaries epithelial and leakage. Subsequently, collapse induces hypoxemia that is resistant to recruitment (RM). Heparin and Streptokinase may prevent or dissolve intra-alveolar fibrin clot respectively helping alveolar re-expansion. We examined and compared the effect of nebulizing Heparin versus Streptokinase on reversing this pathology. Methods: Sixty severe ARDS (PaO2/FiO2<100) patients and failure of RM, prone position (PP) and neuromuscular block (NMB) were partially randomised into Group (I): (n=20) received nebulized Heparin 10000 IU/4h. Group (II): (n=20) received nebulized Streptokinase 250,000 IU/4h. Group (III): (n=20) received conservative management. Randomization to either Heparin or Streptokinase groups was applied to patients whom guardian accepted participation, while those who declined participation were followed-up as a control. The primary outcome was the change in PaO2/FiO2; the secondary outcomes included the change in compliance, plateau pressure, ventilation-off days, coagulation and ICU mortality.

9 Nitric Oxide Gas Inhalation Therapy in Spontaneous Breathing Patients With Mild/Moderate COVID-19: a Randomized Clinical Trial

The scientific community is in search for novel therapies that can help to face the ongoing epidemics of novel Coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) originated in China in December 2019. At present, there are no proven interventions to prevent progression of the disease. Some preliminary data on SARS pneumonia suggest that inhaled Nitric Oxide (NO) could have beneficial effects on SARS-CoV-2 due to the genomic similarities between this two coronaviruses. In this study we will test whether inhaled NO therapy prevents progression in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 disease.

17 Prolonged Low Doses of Methylprednisolone for Patients With COVID-19 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome

COVID-19 infection is overwhelming Italian healthcare. There is an urgent need for a solution to the lack of ICU beds and increasing deaths day after day. A recent retrospective Chinese paper (JAMA Intern Med, online March 13, 2020) showed impressive positive effect of methylprednisolone (MP) on survival of SARS-CoV-2 critically ill patients. We're routinely using MP for severe pneumonia-ARDS with acute respiratory failure with very good results. The main objective of this multi-centre observational trial is to evaluate the efficacy of low dose prolonged infusion of methylprednisolone (MP) for patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome.

18 Early Prone Positioning Combined With High-Flow Nasal Cannula Versus High-Flow Nasal Cannula in COVID-19 Induced Moderate to Severe ARDS

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging infectious disease that was first reported in Wuhan, China, and had subsequently spread worldwide. Twenty-nine percent of COVID-19 patients may develop ARDS. Based on the potential beneficial mechanisms of HFNC and PP, whether early use of prone positioning combined with HFNC can avoid the need for intubation in COVID-19 induced moderate to severe ARDS patients needs to be further investigated.

19 COVID-19-associated ARDS Treated With DEXamethasone: an Open-label, Randomized, Controlled Trial: CoDEX (Alliance Covid-19 Brasil III)

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome COronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) is a new and recognized infectious disease of the respiratory tract. Most cases are mild or asymptomatic. However, around 5% of all patients develop Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), which is the leading mortality cause in these patients. Corticosteroids have been tested in deferent scenarios of ARDS, including viral pneumonia, and the early use of dexamethasone is safe and appears to reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation in ARDS patients. Nevertheless, no large, randomized, controlled trial was performed evaluating the role of corticosteroids in patients with ARDS due SARS-CoV2 virus. Therefore, the present study will evaluate the effectiveness of dexamethasone compared to control (no corticosteroids) in patients with moderate and severe ARDS due to SARS-CoV2 virus.

20 A Randomized, Controlled, Open Label, Multicentre Clinical Trial to Explore Safety and Efficacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen for Preventing ICU Admission, Morbidity and Mortality in Adult Patients With COVID-19

COVID-19 may cause severe pneumonitis that require ventilatory support in some patients, the ICU mortality is as high as 62%. Hospitals do not have enough ICU beds to handle the demand and to date there is no effective cure. We explore a treatment administered in a randomized clinical trial that could prevent ICU admission and reduce mortality. The overall hypothesis to be evaluated is that HBO reduce mortality, increase hypoxia tolerance and prevent organ failure in patients with COVID19 pneumonitis by attenuating the inflammatory response.

23 Cell Therapy Using Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in SARS-CoV-2-related ARDS

Whereas the pandemic due do Covid-19 continues to spread, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in 30% of patients with a 30%-60% mortality rate for those requiring hospitalization in an intensive care unit. The main physio-pathological hallmark is an acute pulmonary inflammation. Currently, there is no treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) feature several attractive characteristics: ease of procurement, high proliferation potential, capacity to home to inflammatory sites, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic and immunomodulatory properties. If all MSC share several characteristics regardless of the tissue source, the highest productions of bioactive molecules and the strongest immunomodulatory properties are yielded by those from the Wharton's jelly of the umbilical cord. An additional advantage is that they can be scaled-up to generate banks of cryofrozen and thus readily available products. These cells have already been tested in several clinical trials with an excellent safety record. The objective of this project is to treat intubated-ventilated patients presenting with a SARS-CoV2-related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) of less than 96 hours by three intravenous infusions of umbilical cord Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSC) one every other day (duration of the treatment: one week). The primary endpoint is the PaO2/FiO2 ratio at day 7. The evolution of several inflammatory markers, T regulatory lymphocytes and donor-specific antibodies will also be monitored. The trial will include 40 patients, of whom 20 will be cell-treated while the remaining 20 patients will be injected with a placebo solution in addition to the standard of care. Given the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV2, it is thus sound to hypothesize that the intravenous administration of UC-MSC during the initial phase of ARDS could control inflammation, accelerate its recovery with improved oxygenation, reduced mechanical ventilation and ventilation weaning time and therefore reduced length of stay in intensive care. The feasibility of the project is supported by the expertise of the Meary Cell and Gene Therapy Center, which is approved for the production of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products and has already successfully prepared the first batches of cells, as well as by the involvement of a cardiac surgery team which will leverage its experience with stem cells for the treatment of heart failure to make it relevant to the Stroma-Cov-2 project.

25 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).

26 Impact of Previous Treatment With Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers in Patients With SARS-Cov2 Infection Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit on Survival and Severity of the Disease (COVID-ARA2)

The actual pandemic infection related to SARS-CoV2 results in viral pneumonitis (COVID-19), that may, in the more severe cases, lead the patients to the intensive care unit (ICU). The more frequent presentation is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). To penetrate cells, SARS-CoV2 uses Angioconvertase type 2 (ACE2) as a cellular entry receptor. ACE2 belong to the renin-angiotensin-aldosteron system (SRAA), and ACE2 levels are directly modified when SRAA inhibitors are administred to patients, and ACE2 level increases particularely with Angiotensin II Receptor blockers (ARA2) use. The aim of our study is to determine ACE2 level and activity in patients with SARSCoV2 infection admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). COVID ARA2 is a propsective cohort of patient with blood sampling at the day of admission, day 3 and day 7.

30 Single Donor Banked Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells for the Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 Induced Acute Respiratory Failure: A Pilot Study

This is a study for patients who have respiratory infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 that have not gotten better. Because there is no standard treatment for this infection, patients are being asked to volunteer for a gene transfer research study using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Stem cells are cells that do not yet have a specific function in the body. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a type of stem cell that can be grown from bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside of bones). Stem cells can develop into other types of more mature (specific) cells, such as blood and muscle cells. The purpose of this study is to see if MSCs can help to treat respiratory infections caused by SARS-CoV-2.

31 Compassionate Use Open-Label Anti-CD14 Treatment in Patients With SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)

This protocol proposes to use IC14, a recombinant chimeric monoclonal antibody (mAb) recognizing human CD14, to block CD14-mediated cellular activation in patients early in the development of ARDS. The binding of IC14 to human CD14 prevents CD14 from participating in the recognition of PAMPs and DAMPs due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. The putative mechanism of action of IC14 in ARDS is blockade of PAMP and DAMP interactions with CD14, thus attenuating the inflammatory cascade that leads to increased endothelial and epithelial permeability and injury resulting in alveolar injury and fluid accumulation characteristic of ARDS. IC14 is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that binds to CD14 with high affinity and inhibits signaling via membrane and soluble CD14. Blocking CD14 with IC14 treatment in normal volunteers strongly inhibits systemic inflammation in response to bacterial endotoxin (LPS). University of Washington conducted a small NIH-funded pilot trial of IC14 treatment in 13 patients with ARDS, which suggested that IC14 treatment reduced alveolar inflammation and decreased BAL cytokines. IC14 was also the subject of IND 105803 for a phase 2 study of ARDS from all causes which we propose to revise for the COVID-19 indication. A dosing regimen for IC14 with favorable pharmacokinetics supporting once daily intravenous dosing has been defined, making this an acceptable treatment for hospitalized patients. Two pharmacodynamic biomarkers can be used that are related to CD14, measurements of sCD14 (serum at baseline; urine at baseline and follow up) as well as a CD14 fragment (sCD14-ST; presepsin). A CD14 target engagement assay is available. Therefore, because of the central role of CD14 in the amplification of lung inflammatory responses leading to severe lung injury and the safety record of IC14 in humans, we propose to have an open-label protocol to test the safety and potential efficacy of IC14 treatment in preventing the progression of severe respiratory disease in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

32 Awake Prone Positioning to Reduce Invasive VEntilation in COVID-19 Induced Acute Respiratory failurE

Prone positioning (PP) is an effective first-line intervention to treat moderate-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, as it improves gas exchanges and lowers mortality.The use of PP in awake self-ventilating patients with (e.g. COVID-19 induced) ARDS could improve gas exchange and reduce the need for invasive mechanical ventilation, but has not been studied outside of case series.The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled study of patients with COVID-19 induced respiratory failure to determine if prone positioning reduces the need for mechanical ventilation compared to standard management.

35 Open Label Randomized Controlled Trial of Ultraprotective Ventilation Without Extracorporeal Circulation in Patients With COVID 19 Pneumonia and Moderate to Severe ARDS

Mortality of COVID-19 pneumonia with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is extremely high in preliminary reports amounting to 50-60%. Duration of mechanical ventilation in these patients appears to exceed standard duration of mechanical ventilation in non-COVID-19 ARDS patients, suggesting that COVID-19 patients may be particularly at risk for ventilator-induced lung injury. Treatment of COVID-19 ARDS patients is to date mainly supportive with protective mechanical ventilation (ventilation with low tidal volume (VT) i.e. 6 ml/kg of predicted body weight (PBW) and plateau pressure control below 30 cm H2O). Mechanical ventilation with VT reduction below 6 ml/kg PBW in ARDS may reduce alveolar strain, driving pressure and hence ventilator-induced lung injury. Investigators recently performed a multicenter pilot study on 34 moderately severe to severe ARDS patients. This study demonstrated that ultraprotective ventilation with ultra-low VT (≤4.2 ml/kg PBW) without extracorporeal circulation may be applied in approximately 2/3 of the patients, with a 4 cmH2O median reduction in driving pressure, at the price of transient episodes of severe acidosis in approximately 1/3 of the patients. Investigators hypothesized that ultraprotective ventilation without extracorporeal circulation may reduce the mortality at day-90 and increase the number of days free from mechanical ventilation (VFD) at day-60, as compared to protective ventilation.

36 Value of Early Treatment With Polyvalent Immunoglobulin in the Management of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Associated With SARS-CoV-2 Infections

As of 30/03/2020, 715600 people have been infected with COVID-19 worldwide and 35500 people died, essentially due to respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) complicated in 25% of the with acute renal failure. No specific pharmacological treatment is available yet. The lung lesions are related to both the viral infection and to an intense inflammatory reaction. Because of it's action, as an immunomodulatory agent that can attenuate the inflammatory reaction and also strengthen the antiviral response, it is proposed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intravenous immunoglobulin administration (IGIV) in patients developing ARDS post-SARS-CoV2. IGIV modulates immunity, and this effect results in a decrease of pro-inflammatory activity, key factor in the ARDS related to the COVID-19. It should be noted that IGIV is part of the treatments in various diseases such as autoimmune and inflammatory diffuse interstitial lung diseases. In addition, they have been beneficial in the post-influenza ARDS but also have been in 3 cases of post-SARS-CoV2 ARDS. IGIV is a treatment option because it is well tolerated, especially concerning the kidney. These elements encourage a placebo-controlled trial testing the benefit of IGIV in ARDS post-SARS-CoV2.

37 Evaluation of Respiratory Mechanics and Lung Recruitment in Patients With SARS-CoV-2 Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The aim of this observationnal study is to describe respiratory mechanics and lung recruitement in patients with SARS-CoV-2 Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome who underwent invasive ventilation on endotracheal tube, admitted to the medical ICU of Angers university hospital . Statics measurements of respiratory system compliance were performed at 2 differents levels of PEEP (15 cmH2O and 5 cmH2O). The recruited volume is computed as the difference between the volume expired from PEEP 15 to 5 cmH2O and the volume predicted by compliance at PEEP 5 cmH2O . The recruitment-to-Inflation (R/I) ratio (i.e. the ratio between the recruited lung compliance and CRS at PEEP 5 cmH2O) is used to assess lung recruitability. A R/I ratio value higher than or equal to 0.5 was used to define highly recruiter patients.

41 Efficacy and Safety of Aerosolized Intra-tracheal Dornase Alpha Administration in Patients With COVID19-induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

This study plans to learn more about the effects of Dornase Alpha in COVID19 (coronavirus disease of 2019) patients, the medical condition caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Dornase Alpha is a FDA-approved drug for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, which facilitates mucus clearance by cutting apart neutrophil-derived extracellular double-stranded DNA. This study intends to define the impact of aerosolized intra-tracheal Dornase Alpha administration on the severity and progression of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19 patients. This drug might make lung mucus thinner and looser, promoting improved clearance of secretions and reduce extracellular double-stranded DNA-induced hyperinflammation in alveoli, preventing further damage to the lungs. The study will recruit mechanically ventilated patients hospitalized in ICU who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and meet ARDS criteria. It is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicentric, open-label clinical trial. The goal is to recruit 100 patients.

46 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.

49 Inhaled Aviptadil for the Treatment of Non-Acute Lung Injury in COVID-19

Brief Summary: SARS-CoV-2 virus infection is known to cause Lung Injury that begins as dyspnea and exercise intolerance, but may rapidly progress to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and the need for mechanical ventilation. Mortality rates as high as 80% have been reported among those who develop ARDS, despite intensive care and mechanical ventilation. Patients with COVID-19 induced non-Acute Lung Injury who have demonstrated reduction in blood oxygenation, dyspnea, and exercise intolerance but do not require endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation will be treated with Aviptadil, a synthetic version of Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP) plus Standard of Care vs. placebo + Standard of Care. Patients will be randomized to intravenous Aviptadil will receive inhaled Aviptadil, 100 μg 3x daily vs. placebo 3x daily. The primary outcome will be progression to ARDS over 28 days. Secondary outcomes will include blood oxygenation as measured by pulse oximetry, dyspnea, exercise tolerance, and levels of TNFα IL-6 and other cytokines.

50 Pilot Study on Cytokine Filtration in COVID-19 ARDS (CytokCOVID19)

Background: There are no proven therapies for COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 infects the respiratory epithelium of the lower airways, causing widespread damage via cytopathic effects, resulting in severe inflammation and Pneumonitis. High local and circulating levels of cytokines, or cytokine storm, can lead to capillary leak syndrome, progressive lung injury, respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods: This is a pilot randomized, controlled, uni-center study testing safety and efficacy of cytokine filtration on patients with severe ARDS. Eligible patients will be randomized to 72 hours filtration or no filtration on top of the standard treatment for ARDS. Indications for randomization are patients with moderate or severe ARDS with need of ventilation support (either invasive or non-invasive), with inflammatory markers. The primary outcome will be days on mechanical ventilation (MV) support. Secondary outcomes are 30-day mortality, ICU days, need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, duration of renal replacement therapy (RRT) and catecholamine therapies, hospital length of stay, multi-organ failure. All analysis will be done according to the intention to treat principle.

52 Impact of Prone Position in Patients Under Spontaneous Breathing on Intubation or Non-invasive Ventilation or Death Incidence During COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress

The SARS-Cov2 viral pandemic is responsible for a new infectious disease called COVID-19 (CoronaVIrus Disease), is a major health problem. Respiratory complications occur in 15 to 40%, the most serious is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The management of COVID-19 is essentially symptomatic with respiratory oxygen supplementation in mild forms to invasive mechanical ventilation in the most severe forms. Prone position (PP) reduced mortality in patients with ARDS in intensive care. Ding et al showed that PP and high flow oxygenation reduced the intubation in patients with moderate to severe ARDS. The investigators hypothesize that the use of PP in spontaneously ventilation patients under oxygen standard could decrease incidence of intubation or non-invasive ventilation or death compared to conventional positioning management in medical departments.

53 Study of Immunomodulation Using Naltrexone and Ketamine for COVID-19

Ideal new treatments for Novel Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) would help halt the progression disease in patients with mild disease prior to the need for artificial respiration (ventilators), and also provide a rescue treatment for patients with severe disease, while also being affordable and available in quantities sufficient to treat large numbers of infected people. Low doses of Naltrexone, a drug approved for treating alcoholism and opiate addiction, as well as Ketamine, a drug approved as an anesthetic, may be able to interrupt the inflammation that causes the worst COVID-19 symptoms and prove an effective new treatment. This study will investigate their effectiveness in a randomized, blinded trial versus standard treatment plus placebo.

56 European/Euro-ELSO Survey on Adult and Neonatal/ Pediatric COVID Patients in ECMO

In the last 10 years, severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) was responsible of multiple outbreaks putting a strain on the public health worldwide. Indeed, SARI had a relevant role in the development of pandemic and epidemic with terrible consequences such as the 2009 H1N1 pandemic which led to more than 200.000 respiratory deaths globally. In late December 2019, in Wuhan, Hubei, China, a new respiratory syndrome emerged with clinical signs of viral pneumonia and person-to-person transmission. Tests showed the appearance of a novel coronavirus, namely the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Two other strains, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) have caused severe respiratory illnesses, sometimes fatal. In particular, the mortality rate associated with SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, was of 10% and 37% respectively. Even though COVID-19 appeared from the first time in China, quickly it spread worldwide and cases have been described in other countries such as Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, France, Iran, USA and many other countries. An early paper reported 41 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection in Wuhan. The median age of the patients was 49 years and mostly men (73%). Among those, 32% were admitted to the ICU because of the severe hypoxemia. The most associated comorbidities were diabetes (20%), hypertension (15%), and cardiovascular diseases (15%). On admission, 98% of the patients had bilateral multiple lobular and sub-segmental areas of consolidation. Importantly, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) developed in 29% of the patients, while acute cardiac injury in 12%, and secondary infection in 10%. Invasive mechanical ventilation was required in 10% of those patients, and two of these patients (5%) had refractory hypoxemia and received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). In a later retrospective report by Wang and collaborators, clinical characteristics of 138 patients with COVID-19 infection were described. ICU admission was required in 26.1% of the patients for acute respiratory distress syndrome (61.1%), arrhythmia (44.4%), and shock (30.6%). ECMO support was needed in 11% of the patients admitted to the ICU. During the period of follow-up, overall mortality was 4.3%. The use of ECMO in COVID-19 infection is increasing due to the high transmission rate of the infection and the respiratory-related mortality. Therefore, the investigators believe that ECMO in case of severe interstitial pneumonia caused by COVID could represent a valid solution in order to avoid lung injuries related to prolonged treatment with non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation. In addition, ECMO could have a role for the systemic complications such as septic and cardiogenic shock as well myocarditis scenarios. Potential clinical effects and outcomes of the ECMO support in the novel coronavirus pandemic will be recorded and analyzed in our project. The researchers hypothesize that a significant percentage of patients with COVID-19 infection will require the utilize of ECMO for refactory hypoxemia, cardiogenic shock or septic shock. This study seeks to prove this hypothesis by conducting an observational retrospective/prospective study of patients in the ICU who underwent ECMO support and describe clinical features, severity of pulmonary dysfunction and risk factors of COVID-patients who need ECMO support, the incidence of ECMO use, ECMO technical characteristics, duration of ECMO, complications and outcomes of COVID-patients requiring ECMO support.

59 Assessment of Extra Vascular Lung Water and Pulmonary Permeability by Transpulmonary Thermodilution in Critically Ill Patients With Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a syndromic definition of an acute lung injury with alteration of biomechanics (lower respiratory system compliance) mostly associated with increased lesional edema. Increase in Pulmonary Vascular Permeability Index (PVPI) accompanied with accumulation of excess Extravascular Lung Water (EVLW) is the hallmark of ARDS. In routine clinical practice, the investigators measure the EVLW and PVPI in ARDS patients, as suggested by expert's recommendations, using a transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) technique. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a newly recognized illness that has spread rapidly throughout Wuhan (Hubei province) to other provinces in China and around the world. Most critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 will present the criteria for the definition of ARDS. However, many of these patients have a particular form of ARDS with severe hypoxemia often associated with near normal respiratory system compliance. This combination is almost never seen in severe ARDS. Thus other mechanisms (including probably vascular mechanisms), that are still poorly described, have to be involved in SARS-CoV-2. EVLW and PVPI have never been assessed in SARS-CoV-2 mechanically ventilated patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate these two parameters in order to best characterize and understand the mechanisms related to SARS-CoV-2. Based on observation of several cases in intensive care units (ICU), the investigators hypothesize that there are following different SARS-CoV-2 patterns: 1. Nearly normal compliance, low lung recruitability, normal EVLW and low PVPI. 2. Low compliance due to increased edema, high lung recruitability, high EVLW and high PVPI.

60 CORONA: A Phase 1/2 Study Using DeltaRex-G Gene Therapy for Symptomatic COVID-19

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. COVID-19 causes life threatening complications known as Cytokine Release Syndrome or Cytokine Storm and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. These complications are the main causes of death in this global pandemic. Over 1000 clinical trials are on-going worldwide to diagnose, treat, and improve the aggressive clinical course of COVID-19. The investigators propose the first, and so far, only gene therapy solution that has the potential to address this urgent unmet medical need. Rationale 1. DeltaRex-G is a safe, non-pathogenic, replication incompetent, RNA virus-based gene vector. DeltaRex-G nanoparticles (~100 nm) can mimic RNA virus SARS-CoV-2 by binding to viral receptors in human cells and may serve as a decoy to prevent SARSCoV-2 cell entry by crowding/neutralizing the SARS-CoV-2 even where the receptors may be different. 2. DeltaRex-G is a disease-seeking retrovector encoding a cytocidal dominant negative human cyclin G1 as genetic payload). When injected intravenously, the DeltaRex-G nanoparticles has a navigational system that targets exposed collagenous proteins (XC proteins) in injured tissues (e.g. inflamed lung, kidney, etc.), thus increasing the effective drug concentration at the sites of injury, in the vicinity of activated/proliferative T cells evoked by COVID-19. The DeltaRex-G then enters the rapidly dividing T cells and kills them by arresting the G1cell division cycle, hence, reducing cytokine release and ARDS; 3. Intravenous DeltaRex-G has minimal systemic toxicity due to its navigational system (targeting properties) that limits the biodistribution of DeltaRex-G only to areas of injury where exposed collagenous (XC) proteins are abnormally found; and 4. DeltaRex-G is currently available in FDA approved "Right to Try" or Expanded Access Program for Stage 4 cancers for an intermediate size population. To gain this approval, FDA requires DeltaRex-G to have demonstrated safety and efficacy in early clinical trials.

62 Pulmonary and Motor Rehabilitation for People With COVID-19 in Intensive Care Units to Reduce Length of Stay in Hospital

COVID-19 DISEASE Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory tract infection caused by a newly emergent coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome from COVID-19, that was first recognized in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. While most people with COVID-19 develop mild or uncomplicated illness, approximately 14% develop severe disease requiring hospitalization and oxygen support and 5% require admission to an intensive care unit. In severe cases, COVID-19 can be complicated by acute respiratory disease syndrome (ARDS) requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation, sepsis and septic shock, multiorgan failure, including acute kidney, liver and cardiac injury. ARDS REHABILITATION Critically ill people who undergo prolonged mechanical ventilation often develop weakness, with severe symmetrical weakness of and deconditioning of the proximal musculature and of the respiratory muscles (critical illness neuropathy/myopathy).These individuals also develop significant functional impairment and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQL) up to 2 and 5 years after discharge. ARDS survivors may complain of depression, anxiety, memory disturbances, and difficulty with concentration often unchanged at 2 and 5 years. Less than half of all ARDS survivors return to work within the first year following discharge, two-thirds at two years, and more than 70% at five years. Early physiotherapy (PT) of people with ARDS has recently been suggested as a complementary therapeutic tool to improve early and late outcomes. The aims of PT programs should be to reduce complications of immobilization and ventilator-dependency, to improve residual function, to prevent new hospitalisations, and to improve health status and HRQL. Physiotherapy in critical patients is claimed also to prevent and contribute to treat respiratory complications such as secretion retention, atelectasis, and pneumonia. Early mobilization and maintenance of muscle strength may reduce the risk of difficult weaning, limited mobility, and ventilator dependency. Lastly, pulmonary rehabilitation in ICU in mechanically ventilated subjects may reduce length of stay in ICU up to 4.5 day, shorten mechanical ventilation of 2.3 days and weaning by 1.7 days. The aim of this study is to investigate how early pulmonary and motor rehabilitation impacts on length of hospital admission (ICU and acute ward) and early and late outcomes inpatients that develop ARDS due to COVID-19.

64 A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study Assessing Vagus Nerve Stimulation in CoViD-19 Respiratory Symptoms (SAVIORII)

The study is a prospective, randomized, controlled investigation designed for comparison of two groups for the reduction of respiratory distress in a CoViD-19 population, using gammaCore Sapphire (nVNS) plus standard of care (active) vs. standard of care alone (SoC), the control group. The gammaCore® (nVNS) treatments will be used acutely and prophylactically. The active and control groups will be diseased and severity matched. The primary objective is to reduce initiation of mechanical ventilation in patients with CoViD-19 compared to the control group. Secondary objectives are to evaluate cytokine trends/prevent cytokine storms, evaluate supplemental oxygen requirements, decrease mortality of CoViD-19 patients and to delay the onset of mechanical ventilation.

65 Inhaled Sedation in COVID-19-related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ISCA): an International Research Data Study in the Recent Context of Widespread Disease Resulting From the 2019 (SARS-CoV2) Coronavirus Pandemics (COVID-19)

The authors hypothesized that inhaled sedation, either with isoflurane or sevoflurane, might be associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS, compared to intravenous sedation. The authors therefore designed the "Inhaled Sedation for COVID-19-related ARDS" (ISCA) non-interventional, observational, multicenter study of data collected from the patients' medical records in order to: 1. assess the efficacy of inhaled sedation in improving a composite outcome of mortality and time off the ventilator at 28 days in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS, in comparison to a control group receiving intravenous sedation (primary objective), 2. investigate the effects of inhaled sedation, compared to intravenous sedation, on lung function as assessed by gas exchange and physiologic measures in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS (secondary objective), 3. report sedation practice patterns in critically ill patients during the COVID-19 pandemics (secondary objective).

67 Characterization of the Clinical, Biological and Histological Pulmonary and Renal Damage Associated With the SARS-CoV-2 Syndrome in Patients Admitted in the Intensive Care Unit

Renal damage in patients hospitalized for ARDS in the ICU can also be related to multiple causes including, but not limited to, the consequences of hemodynamic fluctuations in these patients or the use of nephrotoxic drugs responsible for acute post-ischemic or toxic tubular necrosis. Frequently observed abnormalities of cioagumation may also have a potential impact on renal structures, particularly glomerular capillaries. The researchers wish to characterize and phenotype the renal impairment of patients hospitalized in intensive care with tables of severe Covid19 infections in ARDS: clinical, biological and histological (by performing post-mortem biopsies).

68 Measurement of Airway Opening Pressure (AOP) in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrom With Pressure Volume Curve on the Ventilator and With Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) Derived Method in Comparison of the Curves in Patients With or Without Covid 19 Pneumoniae.

Mechanical ventilation in ARDS requires protective ventilation and PEEP. Airway closer has to be overcome to reduce lung heterogeneity, AOP is measured globally with a ventilator PV curve without PEEP. EIT derived PV curve is another method that could determine heterogeneity of AOP between both lung. This study aims to determine whether AOP measured with EIT derived PV curve is similar to AOP on the ventilator PV curve and see if AOP is different between lungs. If airway closer is higher on one lung, global AOP on the ventilator PV curve probably estimates the other lung.

74 Effectiveness of Prone Positioning Combined With High-flow Nasal Cannula for Patients With COVID-19 Induced ARDS

Prone position (PP) has been proved to be effective in severe ARDS patients. On the other hand, High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) may prevent intubation in hypoxemic Acute respiratory failure (ARF) patients. Our hypothesis is that the combination of PP and HFNC in patients with COVID19 induced ARDS may decrease the need of mechanical ventilation. Primary outcome: Therapeutic failure within 28 days of randomization (death or intubation). Secondary outcomes: to analyze PP feasibility and safety in HFNC patients and to analyze effectiveness in terms of oxygenation. Methods: multicentric randomized study including patients with COVID19 induced ARDS supported with HFNC. Experimental group will received HFNC and PP whereas observation group will received standard care. Optimization of non-invasive respiratory management of COVID19 induced ARDS patients may decrease the need of invasive mechanical ventilation and subsequently ICU and hospital length of stay.

75 Inflammatory, Pulmonary, Physical & Neuropsychological Sequelae of COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Failure: A 1-Year Longitudinal Study

The novel SARS-CoV-2 virus has quickly spread worldwide, with substantial morbidity and mortality. There is very limited understanding of the short- and longer-term inflammatory/immunological and clinical course. However, the investigators expect survivors from severe COVID-19 to experience persistent functional impairments, as demonstrated in prior studies of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and other acute viral illnesses. Notably, however, few studies have ever investigated the biologic mechanisms underlying these functional impairments. Understanding these features of COVID-19 will improve the ability to design acute therapies and recovery-focused interventions. To address these knowledge gaps, the investigators propose a two-center, 225 patient longitudinal prospective cohort study of hospitalized COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure. Researchers will perform an in-depth evaluation of inflammatory/immunological biomarkers, and physical, pulmonary, and neuropsychological clinical outcomes during hospitalization, and over 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up.

77 Dexamethasone Versus Usual Care for the Treatment of COVID-19 Related ARDS: a Multicenter and Randomized Open-label Clinical Trial

There is compelling data indicating that there is an excessive inflammatory response in some patients with COVID-19 leading them to develop ARDS that can be severe with a very poor prognosis. Many of these patients require very long mechanical ventilation times to survive, which have led to the collapse of the health system in some regions of the world. The current evidence for the treatment of these severe forms is inconsistent and most scientific societies and governmental or international organizations recommend evaluating treatments with randomized clinical trials. Corticosteroids, being non-specific anti-inflammatory drugs, could shorten the duration of respiratory failure and improve the prognosis. Due to the lack of solid data available regarding this serious disease, our objective is to randomly evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of dexamethasone, a parenteral corticosteroid approved in Argentina, in patients with ARDS with confirmed respiratory infection due to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).

78 Randomized-controlled Trial of HFNC Alone vs HFNC and Awake Self-proning for Treatment of Severe COVID-19

Prone positioning is an established intervention in mechanically ventilated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients, with demonstrated reductions in mortality. Preliminary data suggest that awake proning in patients with COVID-19 treated with high-flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO) improves gas exchanges, and might be associated with a reduced need of mechanical ventilation, and reduced mortality. Further investigation in a formal randomized-controlled trial is need.

82 Cellular Immuno-Therapy for COVID-19 ARDS (CIRCA-19) the Vanguard Study

The clinical picture of the novel corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19) is rapidly evolving. Although infections may be mild, up to 25% of all patients admitted to hospital require admission to the intensive care unit, and as many as 40% will progress to develop severe problems breathing due to the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS often requires mechanical ventilation, with a 50% risk of mortality. Researchers at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI) have been studying the potential therapeutic role of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells, or MSCs, for the treatment of ARDS for over a decade. This has led to the world's first clinical trial using MSC therapy for patients with severe infections (sepsis) which is often associated with ARDS (NCT02421484). This trial demonstrated tolerability, and potential signs of efficacy. In addition, the investigators have established expertise in producing clinical-grade MSCs and have received approval from Health Canada for the use of MSCs in three different clinical studies. The investigators propose a Phase 1, open label, dose-escalating and safety trial using a 3+3+3 design to determine the safety, and maximum feasible tolerated dose of repeated delivery of Bone Marrow (BM)-MSCs intravenously. This will take advantage of a limited supply of screened BM-MSCs lines which are available now in the GMP facility and will allow to have product ready to deliver to the first patient within weeks. The investigators will enroll up to 9 patients; each receiving repeated unit doses of BM-MSCs delivered by IV infusion on each of 3 consecutive days (24±4 hours apart) according to the following dose-escalation schedule (3 patients per dose panel): (i) Panel 1: 25 million cells/unit dose (cumulative dose: 75 million MSCs), (ii) Panel 2: 50 million cells/unit dose (cumulative dose: 150 million MSCs), (iii) Panel 3: up to 90 million cells/unit dose (cumulative dose: up to 270 million MSCs).
