2 The Use of Ultrasound in Establishing COVID-19 Infection as Part of a Trauma Evaluation

The current COVID-19 pandemic is providing healthcare organizations with considerable challenges and opportunities for rapid cycle improvement efforts, in diagnostic and patient management arenas. Healthcare providers are tasked with limiting the use of personal protective equipment while minimizing unnecessary exposures to the virus. Results from real-time PCR tests to detect active COVID-19 infections may not be available in a timely fashion during emergent trauma assessments. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a rapidly expanding body of literature has identified a pattern of imaged lung abnormalities with CT and ultrasound (US) characteristic of an active viral infection. US evaluation provides a reliable, portable, and reproducible way of evaluating acute patients in a real time setting. During initial trauma evaluations, patients may also receive adjunct imaging modalities like the Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) exam designed to discover life threatening findings that may require urgent interventions. We therefore propose a study expanding on the current FAST adjunct evaluation in the trauma bay that may include lung parenchyma imaging at the initial assessment to help stratify patients into low or high-risk groups for active COVID-19 infections. We believe the use of point of care US in the initial assessment of the trauma patient may help identify potentially infected individuals and aid ED providers to best directing subsequent laboratory and imaging evaluations for these patients, while further directing the necessary protective measures for additional team members involved in the care of the injured patient.

6 Liver Injury in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19 in Latin America: Clinical Characteristics and Prognostic Factors

Coronavirus disease was first diagnosed in December 2019, in the city of Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization recently declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a pandemic. The infection is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is a single-stranded RNA virus, which in humans causes mild respiratory symptoms and generally has a good prognosis. However, in a certain group of patients it manifests as severe pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ dysfunction and death. The factors associated with a worse prognosis are older than 60 years, the presence of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity. According to studies carried out in the Eastern world, the prevalence of liver injury in patients with COVID-19 disease varies between 14% and 53%, being more prevalent in patients with severe symptoms of COVID-19 disease. It is not really known whether the liver involvement of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection is secondary to the direct effect of the virus on the liver. One of the mechanisms of action of SARS-CoV-2 is through the binding to the angiotensin-converting enzyme receptor, which is present in cholangiocytes, this could explain its excretion in faeces. However, liver injury could be due to the immune response generated in the body by the virus with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and the release of inflammatory cytokines such as IL6, generating direct cytopathic damage to the liver. On the other hand, it could be the product of hepatotoxic drugs administered during hospitalization, such as antibiotics, antivirals or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Liver biopsy described microvacuolar steatosis, and a mild portal and lobular inflammatory infiltrate . Therefore, the aim this study is to assess the prevalence of liver complications (liver injury, decompensation of cirrhosis) in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Latin America. As secondary objectives, the investigators will describe the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 disease and identify risk factors associated with poor prognosis,

7 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.

11 Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients With COVID-19 Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The two biomarkers determined in urine, "Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP-2)" and "Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein 7 (IGFBP7)", can indicate the occurrence of Acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiac surgery and critically ill patients at an early stage. However, no data are available whether these parameters can also predict the occurrence of AKI in the context of COVID-19 infection. An early prediction of AKI can be helpful for the optimisation of therapeutic management to improve patient outcome and for the triage of patients. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate whether the biomarker [TIMP- 2]*[IGFBP7] can predict the occurrence of AKI in critically ill patients suffering from SARS-CoV2 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome.

12 A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter, Phase 2 Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of CERC-002 in Adults With COVID 19 Pneumonia and Acute Lung Injury

The study is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind phase 2 clinical study of the efficacy and safety of CERC-002, a potent inhibitor of LIGHT, for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who have mild to moderate ARDS. LIGHT is a cytokine in the TNF super family (TNFSF14) which drives inflammation and induces many other cytokines including IL-1, IL-6 and GM-CSF. LIGHT levels have been shown to be elevated in COVID-19 infected patients and inhibiting LIGHT is hypothesized to ameliorate the cytokine storm which has shown to be a major factor in progression of ARDS. The study will assess the efficacy and safety of CERC-002 in patients with severe COVID-19 over a 28 day period as single dose on top of standard of care.
