There are 538 clinical trials
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is a newly recognized illness that can be fatal. The purpose of this study is to better understand SARS by collecting samples of blood and other body fluids of people who have been exposed to SARS or who are suspected to have the illness. Up to 300 volunteers aged 18 years or older will be enrolled in this study. Participants will donate blood samples and, if appropriate, samples of fluid from the lungs, nose, or throat. Researchers will test these samples for proteins that control or mediate inflammatory or immune responses. The patterns of these proteins will reveal how SARS affects the body and the efforts the body makes to fight off the infection.
This study will evaluate and treat people with SARS, a new type of pneumonia (lung infection) originating in China. SARS is caused by a new virus that is easily transmitted from person to person. This study will look at the course of the disease; determine how the virus affects the body and how the body fights the infection; and evaluate diagnostic tests to quickly identify the disease. People 18 years of age and older with probable or suspected SARS may be eligible for this study. Close contacts of patients with SARS, patients who recovered from SARS, and NIH health care workers involved in the care of patients will also be enrolled. Patients with SARS who require hospitalization will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center. Because SARS spreads easily, hospitalized patients will be in a room by themselves and will not be allowed any visitors. They will not leave their room except for tests, such as x-rays. All participants will have a full medical examination, including a medical history, physical examination, and blood tests. In addition, the participants undergo various tests and procedures as follows: - Probable and suspected SARS patients may be hospitalized or may be seen as outpatients. They are provided the treatment judged best for their disease, usually according to expressed or published recommendations. The best treatment for SARS is not yet known, and there have been no studies evaluating therapies. Outpatients are seen three times a week for 2 weeks, once a week for 4 more weeks, and then at 6 months. Patients have mouth and throat swabs taken three times a week for the first 2 weeks, then once a week for 4 more weeks. Blood is drawn three times a week for the first 2 weeks, then once at weeks 3, 4, and 6. If virus is still detectable after 6 weeks, nose washings and throat swabs are repeated until no virus is detected for 3 weeks in a row. In addition, patients provide urine and stool samples, have a chest x-ray and electrocardiogram, and undergo bronchoscopy and bronchial lavage. For the bronchoscopy, a bronchoscope (pencil-thin flexible tube) is passed into the large airways of the lung, allowing the physician to examine the airways. Cells and secretions from the airways are rinsed from the lung with salt water. A brush the size of a pencil tip is passed through the bronchoscope to scrape cells lining the airways and pieces of tissue are collected for analysis. - Close contacts of patients are evaluated twice a week for 2 weeks, then once a week for 2 more weeks. Blood is drawn at the first visit and then at 1, 2, and 4 weeks. Mouth and throat swabs, nose washings, and sputum collections are done twice a week for 2 weeks, then once a week for 2 more weeks. Urine and stool samples are collected once a week for 4 weeks. If virus from the nose or throat is still detectable after 4 weeks, weekly nose washings and throat swabs continue until no virus is detected for 3 weeks in a row. Blood may also be drawn during the weekly visits. - Recovered SARS patients provide blood, urine, and stool samples and have a mouth and throat swab and nose aspiration to see if the SARS virus is present. For the nasal aspiration, salt water is put in the nose and then suctioned out. Usually, these tests are done only once. If virus is detected, however, the nose washing, throat swabs and blood tests are repeated once a week until no virus is detected for 3 weeks in a row. - Health care workers document their contact with patients, use of isolation procedures and equipment, and any unexpected events that occur during contact. They are evaluated for symptoms of infection and provide a blood sample once a month
Highly communicable and virulent diseases, the ongoing threat of emerging infectious diseases, and the prospect of bio-terrorism have become part of the new reality for health care workers. SARS transmission has occurred despite the use of droplet, contact, and airborne precautions. Potential explanations for some of the episodes of "through-precautions" transmission include the possibility of contamination during removal of protective clothing. The recommended protective systems (PPS) for aerosol generating procedures set out by the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC) differ. The failure of a PPS may be associated with significant consequences in terms of the morbidity and mortality of front-line health care workers. The purpose of this study is to determine if a difference exists between the rate of self-contamination due to deficiencies in contact precautions for individuals wearing either the CDC or MOHLTC recommended PPS. Study participants will don one of the two recommended PPS, be "contaminated" with an indicator that becomes visible under ultraviolet light, and then assessed for contamination of clothing layers and skin after removal of the PPS. They will then repeat the procedure using the other PPS.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a new threat to public health since November, 2002. The SARS is highly contagious and is believed to be transmitted by person-to-person through droplet and direct contact. The patients present with fever, chills, cough, myalgia, dyspnea, and diarrhea. The symptoms aggravate in the second week and nearly 40% of the patients develop respiratory failure that requires assisted ventilation. The mortality rate is reported as 6.5%-7%. After several months, the world scientists found the etiology to be a new coronavirus not belonging to the previous coronavirus group I, II and III. The new virus is called SARS associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Although the high morbidity and mortality of SARS occurred in adults, there was rare mortality reported in the children. The report from Hong Kong pointed out that the symptoms of SARS in younger children were milder and the clinical course was not as aggressive as in adults. Therefore, the aim of the project is to design the experiment to see the differences of immunological responses to SARS-CoV protein in healthy younger children, teenagers, and adults. The investigators hope that the result could explain the reason for milder disease in younger children and the immunological pathogenesis of SARS.
The purpose of this trial is to conduct a randomized dose-ranging study to evaluate the safety and activity of orally administered low dose interferon alfa-n3 as an antiviral and immunomodulator in asymptomatic subjects with recent exposure to a person with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or possible SARS. The primary objective of this pilot study is to determine an Alferon LDO dose level that increases or upregulates genes known to be mediators of interferon response. Secondary endpoints include the development of SARS symptomatology, rate of hospitalization, and mortality rate. In the event that no subjects with recent exposure to a person with SARS or possible SARS are available, this study will be conducted with 10 normal volunteers.
Description: Increased expression of genes known to be mediators of interferon response.
Measure: Gene expression analysis Time: Days 0, 2, 6, 11, 12, 15, 20 and 40Description: Development of clinical SARS-CoV symptomatology
Measure: SARS CoV Antibody Time: Days 0, 15, 20 and 40Description: Hospitalization for SARS-CoV infection and Death
Measure: SARS-CoV infectionThe purpose of this study is to collect plasma by apheresis from patients who have recovered from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). This plasma will be processed into a SARS-antibody enriched intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) product. This product will then be available for use in a clinical trial if a SARS epidemic recurs. Potentially eligible participants are people between 18 and 56 years of age who have recovered from SARS. Potential participants will undergo three sequential screenings to determine their eligibility for this study. Eligible participants will then be scheduled for plasmapheresis. After apheresis, additional testing will be performed on a sample of the source plasma. Once the sample has been tested and cleared, the source plasma will be shipped to the United States to the storage facility and finally to the site of manufacturing of the IVIG product. Participants may donate plasma again after 14 days. The study will not have a direct benefit for participants. However, participation may help develop a treatment that could be useful to other people who become infected with SARS.
The study aims to examine whether the combination of Lopinavir/Ritonavir plus Ribavirin for treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is superior to placebo.
Following the sudden and unexpected emergence of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 (2009 H1N1) virus, this observational study was initiated to estimate rates of morbidity and mortality and to examine predictors of severity among participants with 2009 H1N1 infection. In 2011, as surveillance indicated that 2009 H1N1 virus was co-circulating with other seasonal influenza A and B viruses worldwide, the protocol was expanded to include other influenza A subtypes and influenza B viruses. The current version of the protocol (released in August 2013) further broadens the scope of this observational study. With the recognition that novel respiratory viruses other than novel influenza A viruses, e.g., Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), could become prevalent and of major public health importance, the objectives of this protocol have been expanded.
The investigators aim to do serosurvey of healthcare-personnel who had participated in treatment of confirmed patients of Middle-East respiratory syndrome. The investigators collected the base-line (pre-exposure) serum of healthcare-personnel in a few centers, and will collect the post-exposure serum from about 25-30 centers in which confirmed MERS patients had been treated. The investigators will deduct the seroprevalence of MERS-CoV IgG among the healthy healthcare-personnel, and calculate the sero-conversion rate if possible. The investigators will subdivided the seroprevalence according to the degree of exposure and preparedness of personal protective equipment.
Description: MERS-CoV IgG(+)
Measure: IgG(+) Time: up to 4-5 monthThis 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
This is a Phase 1, first-in-human (FIH), single site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of single ascending doses of a co-administered (1:1, w/w) combination of REGN3048 and REGN3051 mAb's, administered IV in healthy adult volunteers. Study duration of approximately 16 months. Approximately 48 evaluable subjects will be enrolled in the study, eight (8) subjects in each one of 6 sequential ascending IV dose cohorts. In each cohort, subjects will be randomized to receive mAb's REGN3048 and REGN3051 (6 subjects) or placebo (2 subjects). Primary Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of REGN3048 and REGN3051 following co-administration of single, ascending IV doses of 1.5, 5, 15, 25, 50, and 75 mg/kg of each of the two mAb's.
Non tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), Burkholdria spp, Aspergillus in the lung are almost impossible to eradicate with conventional antibiotics. In addition COVID-19 has know current treatment. These patients have few options to treat their lung infection. Nitric oxide has broad bactericidal and virucidal properties. It has been shown that nitric oxide was safe to be inhaled for similar cystic fibrosis patients and reduced drug resistant bacteria in the lungs. Further, research indicates that clinical isolates of NTM, Burkholderia spp, Aspergillus spp and Corona-like viruses can be eradicated by 160ppm NO exposure in the laboratory petri dish. This is not the first time inhaled NO treatment has been used in patients with difficult lung infections. This study will provide more data to see if NO therapy can reduce the bacterial load in the lungs, help the patients breath better; and in the case of COVID-19 act as a anti-viral agent resulting in the reduction of incidence of oxygen therapy, mechanical assistance of BIPAP, CPAP, intubation and mechanical ventilation during the study period.

By July 2003, a total of 8,096 probable cases of SARS had been reported including 774 deaths in 27 countries, around one-third of which were health care workers (HCWs). Previous studies have been reported about long-term impacts of SARS infection, including lung function deficiency, steroid-induced osteonecrosis, reduced exercise capacity, and impairment in health-related quality of life (HRQoL). HCWs, especially nurses, have been reported to experience greater psychological distress, particularly increased levels of posttraumatic stress symptomatology (PTSS). But the very complex impacts of this fatal infection on HCWs have not been fully elucidated. It is thus important to follow these occupational patients to detect and manage multi-organ sequelae and functional impairment.

Measure: Life Life quaities mental distress Time: Evaluations would be finished within 90 days after enrollment.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.

Or undectable viral RNA.
Measure: Time to recovery Time: 14 daysInfectious disease is the single biggest cause of death worldwide. New infectious agents, such as the SARS, MERS and other novel coronavirus, novel influenza viruses, viruses causing viral haemorrhagic fever (e.g. Ebola), and viruses that affect the central nervous system (CNS) such as TBEV & Nipah require investigation to understand pathogen biology and pathogenesis in the host. Even for known infections, resistance to antimicrobial therapies is widespread, and treatments to control potentially deleterious host responses are lacking. In order to develop a mechanistic understanding of disease processes, such that risk factors for severe illness can be identified and treatments can be developed, it is necessary to understand pathogen characteristics associated with virulence, the replication dynamics and in-host evolution of the pathogen, the dynamics of the host response, the pharmacology of antimicrobial or host-directed therapies, the transmission dynamics, and factors underlying individual susceptibility. The work proposed here may require sampling that will not immediately benefit the participants. It may also require analysis of the host genome, which may reveal other information about disease susceptibility or other aspects of health status.

Measure: Host genetic variants Time: Day 1There was an interaction between mortality, nutritional intake and the Nutrition Risk in Critically ill (NUTRIC) score suggesting that those with higher NUTRIC scores benefited the most from increasing nutritional intake. Yet limited data were in Chinese patients. The current outbreak of novel coronavirus, named COVID-19, was first reported from Wuhan, China on Dec ember 31 , 2019. There are about 16% patients need ICU admission. The objective of this study is to validation of the "NUTRIC" nutritional risk assessment tool in Chinese ICU patients diagnosed as COVID-19.
The novel identified coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in 2019 causes an nationwide outbreak as well as public health crisis in China, and expands globally. Pulmonary edema is one of the most detrimental symptoms and usually presents in severe and critical coronavirus disease (COVID-19), resulting in dyspnea, acute lung injury (ALI) ,acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and even death. Recent evidence revealed higher levels of blood Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in COVID-19 patients compared with healthy controls. VEGF is considered as the most potent vascular permeability inducers. Numerous studies have revealed that VEGF was a key factor and a potential therapeutic target in ALI and ARDS. Bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF drug, approved by the FDA on February 26, 2004 and widely used in clinical oncotherapy, is a promising drug for ALI/ARDS in COVID-19 through suppression of pulmonary edema.

Most of the symptoms are non-specific, including fever, fatigue, dry cough. Sever NCIP patients may have shortness of breath and dyspnea, and progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). The mortality is reported to be around 2.3%. Thus, early detection and early treatment is very important to the improvement of NCIP patients' prognosis. At present, NCIP RNA detection of pharyngeal swab specimen by RT-PCR is recommended. However, due to the universal susceptibility to 2019 nCoV in general population and limited number of NCIP RNA detection kits available, to identify an efficient screening strategy is urgently needed. This study aim to develop and validate the diagnostic accuracy and screening efficiency of a new NCIP screening strategy, which can benefit the disease prevention and control.

Measure: Cost-effectiveness analysis Time: 1 monthThe acute lung injury caused by SARS and 2003 were both related to the inflammatory cytokine storm in patients. The biochemical test showed abnormal increase in related indicators such as interleukin-8, and CT images showed a medical "white" lung". According to the experience of SARS treatment in 2003, the use of hormones will indeed help the patients to alleviate their illness, but patients who survived SARS either had too much hormone at that time and took too long. Although the lungs could recover, but the femoral head was necrotic Either the amount of hormones was very conservative at the time, which kept the lungs in the storm of inflammatory factors, leading to the emergence of irreversible pulmonary fibrosis. So is there a medicine that can anti-inflammatory, reduce the load of hormone use, and have the effect of treating and preventing pulmonary fibrosis complicated by severe viral lung? At present, pirfenidone has achieved encouraging results in the treatment of idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (CTD-ILD) diseases. It is particularly encouraging that the values announced at the 2019 ATS Annual Conference suggest that pirfenidone has more anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects than its own outstanding anti-fibrotic ability. The data shows early use, Its strong anti-SOD activity can effectively inhibit IL-1beta and IL-4, and can open the prevention mode of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. Based on the above, this project intends to make the following scientific assumptions: based on the homology of the pathogens of the new coronavirus-infected pneumonia and the coronavirus infection of pneumonia in 2003, the similarities in the occurrence and development of the disease, that is, the pulmonary inflammatory storm occurs first, and thereafter The progress of fibrosis and the progressive decline of lung function and mortality are higher than those of ordinary pneumonia. We hope that by adding pirfenidone as a treatment program in addition to standard treatment, it will be a new and severe type of coronavirus infection. Patient clinical treatment provides an effective and practical method.

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 COVID-19 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.

In a short time, Chinese scientists had shared the genome information of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from these pneumonia patients and developed a real-time reverse transcription PCR (real time RT-PCR) diagnostic assay. In view of the fact that there is currently no effective antiviral therapy, the prevention or treatment of lung injury caused by COVID-19 can be an alternative target for current treatment. Xiyanping injection has anti-inflammatory and immune regulation effects. This study is a Randomized, Parallel Controlled Clinical Study to treat patients with COVID-19 infection.
Description: The time from study drug use to complete fever reduction and cough recovery is measured in hours.
Measure: Clinical recovery time Time: Up to Day 28Currently, the growing epidemic of a new coronavirus infectious disease (Covid-19) is wreaking havoc worldwide, which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 is a RNA virus that display high similarity in both genomic and proteomic profiling with SARS-CoV that first emerged in humans in 2003 in China. Therefore, preventing and controlling the pandemic occurrences are extremely urgent as a global top priority. Due to the lack of effective antiviral drugs, patients may be treated by only addressing their symptoms such as reducing fever. Clinical autopsies from SARS-CoV-infected patients demonstrated that there were major pathological changes in the lungs, immune organs, and small systemic blood vessels with vasculitis. However, the detection of SARS-CoV were primarily found in the lung and trachea/bronchus, but was undetectable in spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow, heart and aorta, highlighting the overreaction of immune responses induced by viral infection were really harmful, resulting in the pathogenesis of lungs, immune organs, and small systemic blood vessels. To this respect, immune modulation strategy may be potentially beneficial to enhance anti-viral immunity and efficiently reduce the viral load, improve clinical outcomes, expedite the patient recovery, and decline the rate of mortality in patients after being infected with SARS-CoV-2. Tianhe Stem Cell Biotechnologies Inc. has developed a novel globally-patented Stem Cell Educator (SCE) technology designed to reverse the autoimmune response in Type 1 diabetes (T1D), Alopecia Areata (AA) and other autoimmune diseases. SCE therapy uses human multipotent cord blood stem cells (CB-SC) from human cord blood. Their properties distinguish CB-SC from other known stem cell types, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Several clinical studies show that SCE therapy functions via CB-SC induction of immune tolerance in autoimmune T cells and restore immune balance and homeostasis in patients with T1D, AA and other inflammation-associated diseases. To correct the overreaction of overreaction of immune responses, the investigators plan to treat SARS-CoV-2 patients with Stem Cell Educator therapy.

Adults (≥18 year-old) hospitalized for COVID-19 with SpO2 ≤ 94% on room air OR acute respiratory failure requiring supplemental oxygen or ventilatory support will be randomized between 4 treatment arms, each to be given in addition to the usual standard of care (SoC) in the participating hospital: SoC alone versus SoC + Remdesivir versus SoC + Lopinavir/Ritonavir versus SoC (this treatment arm has been ceased since June 29, 2020) + Lopinavir/Ritonavir plus interferon ß-1a versus SoC (this treatment arm has been ceased since June 29, 2020) + Hydroxychloroquine (this treatment arm has been ceased since May 24, 2020). Randomization will be stratified by European region and severity of illness at enrollment (moderate disease: patients NOT requiring non-invasive ventilation NOR high flow oxygen devices NOR invasive mechanical ventilation NOR ECMO and severe disease: patients requiring non-invasive ventilation OR high flow oxygen devices OR invasive mechanical ventilation OR ECMO). The interim trial results will be monitored by a Data Monitoring Committee, and if at any stage evidence emerges that any one treatment arm is definitely inferior then it will be centrally decided that that arm will be discontinued. Conversely, if good evidence emerges while the trial is continuing that some other treatment(s) should also be being evaluated then it will be centrally decided that one or more extra arms will be added while the trial is in progress.

A customized disease specific understanding will be important to understand subsequent disease waves, vaccine development and therapeutics. For this reason, ISARIC (the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium) was set up in advance. This focuses on hospitalised and convalescent serum samples to understand severe illness and associated immune response. However, many subjects are seroconverting with mild or even subclinical disease. Information is needed about subclinical infection, the significance of baseline immune status and the earliest immune changes that may occur in mild disease to compare with those of SARS-CoV-2. There is also a need to understand the vulnerability and response to COVID-19 of the NHS workforce of healthcare workers (HCWs). HCW present a cohort with likely higher exposure and seroconversion rates than the general population, but who can be followed up with potential for serial testing enabling an insight into early disease and markers of risk for disease severity. We have set up "COVID-19: Healthcare worker Bioresource: Immune Protection and Pathogenesis in SARS-CoV-2". This urgent fieldwork aims to secure significant (n=400) sampling of healthcare workers (demographics, swabs, blood sampling) at baseline, and weekly whilst they are well and attending work, with acute sampling (if hospitalised, via ISARIC, if their admission hospital is part of the ISARIC network) and convalescent samples post illness. These will be used to address specific questions around the impact of baseline immune function, the earliest immune responses to infection, and the biology of those who get non-hospitalized disease for local research and as a national resource. The proposal links directly with other ongoing ISARIC and community COVID projects sampling in children and the older age population. Reasonable estimates suggest the usable window for baseline sampling of NHS HCW is closing fast (e.g. baseline sampling within 3 weeks).

Measure: Number of Participants with adverse effect Time: during 28-day intervention.The goal of this study is to evaluate if CT (Computerized Tomography) can effectively and accurately predict disease progression in patients with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). You may be eligible if you have been diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2, are an inpatient at Beaumont Hospital-Royal Oak and meet eligibility criteria. After consent and determination of eligibility, enrolled patients will have a CT scanning session. After the CT scan, patients are followed for 30 days by reviewing their medical records and by phone after discharge from hospital.
Description: Disease progression will be characterized as requiring mechanical ventilator support, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, high flow nasal cannula or mortality within 30 days.CT-V and PBM scores will be calculated at a voxel level from inhalation-exhalation CT scan. Several CT-V pulmonary function metrics, including the volume of identified "cold spots" (areas with decreased ventilation and perfusion), total ventilation and perfusion and radiographic fibrosis score will be calculated to assess regional ventilation/perfusion and compared to disease progression. The number of participants with correlation between these factors will be reported.
Measure: Predictive association between CT-V, PBM score and disease progression Time: 30 daysSARS-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%.

More than 70000 people were infected and over 2000 people died all over the world. There is no specific drug treatment for this disease. Considering that lung damage is related to both viral infection and burst of cytokines, our idea is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of escin as add-on treatment to conventional antiviral drugs in COVID-19 infected patients.

Measure: Level of pH in blood Time: 4 daysCytokines and chemokines are thought to play an important role in immunity and immunopathology during virus infections [3]. Patients with severe COVID-19 have higher serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6) and chemokines (IL-8) compared to individuals with mild disease or healthy controls, similar to patients with SARS or MERS . The change of laboratory parameters, including elevated serum cytokine, chemokine levels, and increased NLR in infected patients are correlated with the severity of the disease and adverse outcome, suggesting a possible role for hyper-inflammatory responses in COVID-19 pathogenesis. Importantly, previous studies showed that viroporin E, a component of SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV), forms Ca2C-permeable ion channels and activates the NLRP3 inflammasome. In addition, another viroporin 3a was found to induce NLRP3 inflammasome activation . The mechanisms are unclear. Colchicine, an old drug used in auto-inflammatory disorders (i.e., Familiar Mediterranean Fever and Bechet disease) and in gout, counteracts the assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome, thereby reducing the release of IL-1b and an array of other interleukins, including IL-6, that are formed in response to danger signals. Recently, colchicine has been successfully used in two cases of life-threatening post-transplant capillary leak syndrome. These patients had required mechanically ventilation for weeks and hemodialysis, before receiving colchicine, which abruptly restored normal respiratory function and diuresis over 48 hrs [4].

Measure: Number of participants requiring mechanical ventilation Time: 30 days post randomizationIn December 2019, the Municipal Health Committee of Wuhan, China, identified an outbreak of viral pneumonia of unknown cause. This new coronavirus was called SARS-CoV-2 and the disease caused by that virus, COVID-19. Recent numbers show that 222,643 infections have been diagnosed with 9115 deaths, worldwide. Currently, there are no approved therapeutic agents available for coronaviruses. In this scenario, the situation of a global public health emergency and evidence about the potential positive effect of chloroquine (CQ) in most coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-1, and recent data on small trials on SARS-CoV-2, the investigators intend to investigate the efficacy and the safety of CQ diphosphate in the treatment of hospitalized patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome in the scenario of SARS-CoV2. Preliminary in vitro studies and uncontrolled trials with low number of patients of CQ repositioning in the treatment of COVID-19 have been encouraging. The main hypothesis is that CQ diphosphate will reduce mortality in 50% in those with severe acute respiratory syndrome infected by the SARS-COV2. Therefore, the main objective is to assess whether the use of chloroquine diphosphate reduces mortality by 50% in the study population. The primary outcome is mortality in day 28 of follow-up. According to local contingency plan, developed by local government for COVID-19 in the State of Amazonas, the Hospital Pronto-Socorro Delphina Aziz, located in Manaus, is the reference unit for the admission of serious cases of the new virus. The unit currently has 50 ICU beds, with the possibility of expanding to 335 beds, if needed. The hospital also has trained multiprofessional human resources and adequate infrastructure. In total, 440 participants (220 per arm) will receive either high dose chloroquine 600 mg bid regime (4x150 mg tablets, every 12 hours, D1-D10) or low dose chloroquine 450mg bid regime (3x150mg tablets + 1 placebo tablet every 12 hours on D1, 3x150mg tablets + 1 placebo followed by 4 placebo tablets 12h later from D2 to D5, and 4 placebo tablets every 12 hours, D6-D10). Placebo tablets were used to standardize treatment duration and blind research team and patients. All drugs administered orally (or via nasogastric tube in case of orotracheal intubation). Both intervention and placebo drugs will be produced by Farmanguinhos. Clinical and laboratory data during hospitalization will be used to assess efficacy and safety outcomes.

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. Moreover, the Italian Infectious Disease leading institution guidelines for COVID-19 clinical management included as an option for patients with "incipient worsening of respiratory functions" methylprednisolone treatment at an approximate dose of 80mg. The main objective of this multi-centre observational trial is to analyse the association of low dose prolonged infusion of methylprednisolone (MP) for patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome with composite primary end-point (ICU referral, need for intubation, in-hospital death at day 28).

Measure: WHO progression scale COVID 19 Time: 14 daysThe overall objective of the study is to determine the therapeutic effect and tolerance of Sarilumab in patients with moderate, severe pneumonia or critical pneumonia associated with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Sarilumab is a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to both soluble and membrane-bound IL-6Rs (sIL-6Rα and mIL-6Rα) and has been shown to inhibit IL-6-mediated signaling through these receptors. The study has a cohort multiple Randomized Controlled Trials (cmRCT) design. Randomization will occur prior to offering Sarilumab administration to patients enrolled in the CORIMUNO-19 cohort. Sarilumab will be administered to consenting adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 either diagnosed with moderate or severe pneumonia requiring no mechanical ventilation or critical pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation. Patients who will chose not to receive Sarilumab will receive standard of care. Outcomes of Sarilumab-treated patients will be compared with outcomes of standard of care-treated patients as well as with outcomes of patients treated with other immune modulators.

In virological analyses of samples from the patients' deep respiratory tract, a novel coronavirus was isolated (SARS-CoV-2). The disease spread rapidly in the city of Wuhan at the beginning of 2020 and soon beyond in China and, in the coming weeks, around the world. Initial studies described numerous severe courses, particularly those associated with increased patient age and previous cardiovascular, metabolic and respiratory diseases. A small number of the particularly severely ill patients required not only highly invasive ventilation therapy but also extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) to supply the patient's blood with sufficient oxygen. Even under maximum intensive care treatment, a very high mortality rate of approximately 80-100% was observed in this patient group. In addition, high levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) could be detected in the blood of these severely ill patients, which in turn were associated with poor outcome. From experience in the therapy of severely ill patients with severe infections and respiratory failure, we know that treatment with a CytoSorb® adsorber can lead to a reduction of the circulating pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and thus improve the course of the disease and the outcome of the patients. Our primary goal is to investigate the efficacy of treatment with a CytoSorb® adsorber in patients with severe COVID-19 disease requiring venous ECMO over 72 hours after initiation of ECMO. The primary endpoint is the reduction of plasma interleukin-6 levels 72 hours after initiation of ECMO support. As secondary endpoints we investigate 30-day survival, vasopressor and volume requirements, lactate in terms of lactate and platelet function. As safety variables, we further investigate the levels of the applied antibiotics (usually ampicillin and sulbactam).

Measure: Voice anaysis Time: 1-2 yearsOn January 2020, the discovery of a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was officially announced by the Chinese health authorities and the World Health Organization (WHO). Its complete genome was sequenced by the laboratory of respiratory infection viruses at the Institut Pasteur on 29 January 2020 in France. This will allow the identification of antigenic structures involved in the immune response and the development of serological diagnostic tests. Many questions are being asked about this new virus and the infection it causes, including questions about the percentage of asymptomatic and pauci-symptomatic forms. Serological studies can provide answers to these questions. There is no serological test for SARS-COV-2 yet, but the laboratory of respiratory infection viruses at the Institut Pasteur is working on its development. This study proposes to carry out a collection of samples taken from subjects who travelled to China before the epidemic outbreak or suspected of being infected with SARS-CoV-2. As soon as it is available, serology will be performed on the collected samples.

This study is divided into 2 arms: (1) Prospective longitudinal observational study involving patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and (2) Retrospective study on patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. Arm 1: We will collect EDTA blood, stool samples, rectal swab, urine, saliva, and specimens from upper respiratory tract (nasopharyngeal aspirate or flocked swab), and lower respiratory tract (sputum or tracheal aspirate) on daily, alternate day, or weekly basis as appropriate. Arm 2: The remainder of specimens that were submitted for laboratory investigation as part of clinical management will be retrieved. Those specimens will only be used after all clinically indicated testing and confirmation procedures have been completed. Assistance from the Public Health Laboratory Service, Department of Health, will be invited to retrieve samples as well as participate in this study. Patients hospitalized for pneumonia in medical wards and ICU at the Prince of Wales Hospital tested negative for COVID-19 will be recruited as controls. Understanding the clinical, virological, microbiological and immunological profiles of this infection is urgently needed to facilitate its management and control.

A short review includes: - Early December, 2019 - A pneumonia of unknown cause was detected in Wuhan, China, and was reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) Country Office. - January 30th, 2020 - The outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. - February 7th, 2020 - 34-year-old Ophthalmologist who first identified a SARS-like coronavirus) dies from the same virus. - February 11th, 2020 - WHO announces a name for the new coronavirus disease: COVID-19. - February 19th, 2020 - The U.S. has its first outbreak in a Seattle nursing home which were complicated with loss of lives.. - March 11th, 2020 - WHO declares the virus a pandemic and in less than three months, from the time when this virus was first detected, the virus has spread across the entire planet with cases identified in every country including Greenland. - March 21st, 2020 - Emerging Infectious Disease estimates the risk for death in Wuhan reached values as high as 12% in the epicenter of the epidemic and ≈1% in other, more mildly affected areas. The elevated death risk estimates are probably associated with a breakdown of the healthcare system, indicating that enhanced public health interventions, including social distancing and movement restrictions, should be implemented to bring the COVID-19 epidemic under control." March 21st 2020 -Much of the United States is currently under some form of self- or mandatory quarantine as testing abilities ramp up.. March 24th, 2020 - Hot spots are evolving and identified, particularly in the areas of New York-New Jersey, Washington, and California. Immediate attention is turned to testing, diagnosis, epidemiological containment, clinical trials for drug testing started, and work on a long-term vaccine started. The recovering patients are presenting with mild to severe lung impairment as a result of the viral attack on the alveolar and lung tissues. Clinically significant impairment of pulmonary function appears to be a permanent finding as a direct result of the interstitial lung damage and inflammatory changes that accompanied. This Phase 0, first-in-kind for humans, is use of autologous, cellular stromal vascular fraction (cSVF) deployed intravenously to examine the anti-inflammatory and structural potential to improve the residual, permanent damaged alveolar tissues of the lungs.

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.

Measure: Mortality Time: Days 7, 14 and 28Background: A novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) described in late 2019 in Wuhan, China, has led to a pandemic and to a specific coronavirus-related disease (COVID-19), which is mainly characterized by a respiratory involvement. While researching for a vaccine has been started, effective therapeutic solutions are urgently needed to face this threaten. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has a relevant role in COVID-19, as the virus will enter host 's cells via the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2); RAS disequilibrium might also play a key role in the modulation of the inflammatory response that characterizes the lung involvement. Angiotensin-(1-7) is a peptide that is downregulated in COVID-19 patient and it may potentially improve respiratory function in this setting. Methods/Design: The Investigators describe herein the methodology of a randomized, controlled, adaptive Phase II/Phase III trial to test the safety, efficacy and clinical impact of the infusion of angiotensin-(1-7) in COVID-19 patients with respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. A first phase of the study, including a limited number of patients (n=20), will serve to confirm the safety of the study drug, by observing the number of the severe adverse events. In a second phase, the enrollment will continue to investigate the primary endpoint of the study (i.e. number of days where the patient is alive and not on mechanical ventilation up to day 28) to evaluate the efficacy and the clinical impact of this drug. Secondary outcomes will include the hospital length of stay, ICU length of stay, ICU and hospital mortality, time to weaning from mechanical ventilation, reintubation rate, secondary infections, needs for vasopressors, PaO2/FiO2 changes, incidence of deep vein thrombosis, changes in inflammatory markers, angiotensins plasmatic levels and changes in radiological findings. The estimated sample size to demonstrate a reduction in the primary outcome from a median of 14 to 11 days is 56 patients, 60 including a dropout rate of 3% (i.e. 30 per group), but a preplanned recalculation of the study sample size is previewed after the enrollment of 30 patients. Expected outcomes/Discussion: This controlled trial will assess the efficacy, safety and clinical impact of the Angiotensin-(1-7) infusion in a cohort of COVID-19 patients requiring mechanical ventilation. The results of this trial may provide useful information for the management of this disease.

Measure: Time to recovery, defined as time to reaching level 5, 6, or 7 on the COVID Outcomes Scale, which is the time to the earlier of final liberation from supplemental oxygen or hospital discharge Time: 28 days after randomizationWhereas 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.
Patients with documented moderate COVID-19 infection will be randomized 1:1 to receive piclidenoson 2 mg Q12H orally with standard supportive care (SSC - intervention arm) or placebo orally with SSC (control arm) for up to 28 days.

The virus is now known as SARS-CoV2 calling its disease coronavirus-19 or COVID-19. The mortality of the virus has been reported around 2-10% and its causes because of the proinflammatory immune response generated on the host. The cytokines involved in the immune response to COVID-19 are IL-1, IL-2, IL4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, IL-17, GCSF, MCSF, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1α, HGF, IFN-γ y TNF-α. Ruxolitinib is an inhibitor of JAK 1/2 which is responsable for multiple cellular signals including the proinflammatory IL-6. Ruxolitinib works as and immunomodulator decreasing the cytotoxic T lymphocytes and increasing the Treg cells. This study is intended to stop the disregulated immune response caused by COVID-19 that generates the pneumonia and subsequent severe acute respiratory syndrome.

Measure: Safety as determined by presence or absence of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events Time: 24 weeksRationale: 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.

Measure: International Physical Activity Questionnaire Time: Baseline of the studyDescription: The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is an effective instrument used to measure the quality and patterns of sleep. It differentiates "poor" from "good" sleep by measuring seven domains: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction over the last month.The client self rates each of these seven areas of sleep. Scoring of the answers is based on a 0 to 3 scale, whereby 3 reflects the negative extreme on the Likert Scale. A global sum of "5"or greater indicates a "poor" sleeper.

Measure: Treatment Sub Study: Determine the reduction in clinical symptoms Time: 21 daysDescription: Measure the proportion of participants that have a positive sero-conversion for SARS-CoV-2
Measure: Treatment & Sub Study: Determine positive sero-conversion for SARS-CoV-2 Time: 21 daysCOVID-19 pandemic has developed worldwide in less than 4 months. While most patients have a mild or uncomplicated disease (80%), approximately 15% need hospital care and 5% intensive care. Severe cases are characterized by pulmonary involvement which may progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Early identification of patients who are likely to get worse is therefore a major issue. While, chest X-ray has poor diagnostic performances, pulmonary computed tomography (CT scan) seems very sensitive (97%) and quite specific of COVID-19. Sub-pleural bilateral ground-glass pattern can precede the positivity of RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2. CT scan is now considered as the best imaging test to assess COVID-19 patients and is recommended as first-line diagnosis tool by the French Society of Radiology (SFR). However, performing CT scan in all or many patients with suspected COVID-19 may result in radiology department overload, especially, taking into account bio-cleaning between patients. Moreover, CT scan may lead to adverse effects including induced cancer due to the cumulative diagnostic irradiation. Chest ultrasonography may be an alternative to CT scan. It is a simple, non-invasive, non-irradiating, inexpensive and available at the point of care (POCUS). Most of emergency physicians and many other specialists (pneumologists, infectious disease or intensive care physicians) are trained to perform chest POCUS and use it in their everyday practice. Multiple studies have demonstrated its superiority to chest X-ray for the detection of pneumonia. In ARDS, a scoring has been developed and has shown good correlation with mortality. POCUS is very effective in detecting peripheral patterns and seems appropriate to explore COVID-19 patients. Previous studies suggest its interest in SARSCov2 infections for initial patient assessment and identification of lung damage. However, its performances have never been scientifically evaluated to date. Our main hypothesis is that point of care lung ultrasonography performed during the initial examination may identify high-risk COVID-19 patients.
Description: To assess, in patients with confirmed or probable SARS-CoV-2 infection, chest ultrasonography capacity, using the POCUS score for ARDS, to identify patients with unfavourable outcome at D14. Unfavourable outcome is defined by intubation with mechanical ventilation requirement or death (Stage ≥ 6 on "Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement" of the World Health Organization) within 14 days of inclusion. We will determine the 95% confidence interval of the AUC of the ROC curve and consider POCUS capacity as clinically relevant if the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is at least 0.7.
Measure: Risk of unfavourable outcome at D14 Time: 14 daysDescription: To evaluate, in patients with a confirmed or probable SARS-CoV-2 infection, whether POCUS score performances vary as a function of time, between D1 and D14, and, if so, until which time horizon its performances are clinically relevant. In this purpose, we will determine the time period for which the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval of the AUC of the POCUS score ROC curve is at least 0.7.
Measure: Risk of unfavourable outcome over time Time: 14 daysDescription: To identify the threshold values of POCUS score to perform risk-stratification in three groups of patients: low-risk patients, intermediate-risk patients, high-risk patients. In this purpose, we will determine two threshold values on the inflection points of the ROC curve: maximizing the specificity for a sensitivity of at least 95%, maximizing the sensitivity for a specificity of at least 95%.
Measure: Risk-stratification threshold values Time: 14 daysDescription: To study the impact of adding the result of POCUS evaluation to several risk-stratification clinical rules for pulmonary infection or sepsis: qSOFA, CRB 65 and CURB 65 In this purpose, we will attribute 0, 1 or 2 points to POCUS score according to the predefined threshold values and will assess : sensitivities of qSOFA with and without addition of POCUS score result, specificities of qSOFA with and without addition of POCUS score result; sensitivities of CRB 65 with and without addition of POCUS score result, specificities of CRB 65 with and without addition of POCUS score result; sensitivities of CRB 65 with and without addition of POCUS score result, specificities of CRB 65 with and without addition of POCUS score result.
Measure: Adding value of POCUS score to previous risk-stratification clinical rules Time: 14 daysDescription: To assess, the capacity of POCUS score at D0 to predict patient clinical status at D14 In this purpose, we will determine the correlation coefficient between the POCUS score at D0 and the clinical status of patients at day 14 according to the WHO Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement for COVID-19 patients.
Measure: POCUS score and patient clinical status at D14 Time: 14 daysDescription: To study the correlation between POCUS and CT scan assessment of lung damage. In this purpose, we will determine the intra-class correlation coefficient between POCUS assessment according to the number of affected areas among 12 and CT scan assessment according to the quantification proposed by the French Society of Radiology: 0 - normal; 1 - minor (< 10%), 2 - moderate (10-25%), 3 - important (25-50%), 4 - severe (50-75%), 5 - critical (> 75%)
Measure: POCUS and CT scan correlation Time: 14 daysDescription: To compare the diagnostic performances of POCUS with that of chest computed tomography to identify patients with unfavourable outcome. In this purpose, we will compare the AUC of the ROC curves of POCUS score and CT scan quantification of lung damage to identify patients with unfavourable outcome (intubation and mechanical ventilation requirement or death)
Measure: POCUS versus CT scan risk-stratification performances Time: 14 daysDescription: To evaluate, in the subgroup of hospitalized patients having a second chest ultrasonography at Day 5 +/- 3 of inclusion, the performances of the evolution of the POCUS score between the first and the second assessment to identify patients with unfavourable outcome. In this purpose, we will calculate the delta between the first and second POCUS score and determine the AUC of the ROC curve and its 95% confidence interval.
Measure: POCUS score evolution performances Time: 14 daysCOVID-19 pandemic has developed worldwide in less than 4 months. The clinical presentations are variable widely, ranging from simple rhinitis to major lung damage that can lead to death. In many countries involved in the ongoing health disaster due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, hospital are overloaded. In this context, the decision to hospitalize or to manage COVID-19 patients at home is crucial and defining reliable and consensual criteria is a major issue. HOME-CoV study is a multicentre quasi-experimental interventional study, before and after implementation of a help-decision making rule (HOME-CoV rule), developed via the Delphi method. Our main hypothesis is that a strategy based on the consensual HOME-CoV rule compared to current practice is at least as safe as regards the 7-day-rate of adverse events (safety criterion) and more effective as regards the rate of patients eventually managed as outpatients (efficacy criterion).
Description: Adverse outcomes include intubation with mechanical ventilation requirement and death (Stage ≥ 6 on "Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement" of the World Health Organization) within 7 days after inclusion.
Measure: the composite rate of adverse outcomes Time: day 7Description: The rate of patients hospitalized after admission to the emergency room including patients discharged home more than 24 hours after admission.

Measure: POCUS Score - Heart Time: up to 14 daysSince December 2019, a new agent, the SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus has been rapidly spreading from China to other countries causing an international outbreak of respiratory illnesses named COVID-19. In France, the first cases have been reported at the end of January with more than 60000 cases reported since then. A significant proportion (20-30%) of hospitalized COVID-19 patients will be admitted to intensive care unit. However, few data are available for this special population in France. We conduct a large observational cohort of ICU suspected or proven COVID-19 patients that will enable to describe the initial management of COVID 19 patients admitted to ICU and to identify factors correlated to clinical outcome.

Measure: Oxygen therapy Time: from date of patient admission to date of patient discharge or date of death, whichever came first, assessed up to 45 daysThe COVID-19 pandemic has already overwhelmed the sanitary capacity. Additional therapeutic arsenals, albeit untested in the given context but previously proven to be efficacious in a related clinical context, that could reduce the morbidity rate are urgently needed. A decrease of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a validated bad prognosis marker in sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome. In contrast, auricular vagus nerve stimulation was proven not only to increase HRV values in healthy Humans, but also to reduce sepsis and increase survival, both significantly, in experimental models. Moreover, the heavy viral infection within the brainstem of deceased patients suggests that the neuroinvasive potential of SARS-CoV2 is likely to be partially responsible for COVID-19 acute respiratory failure and may bear relevance in tailoring future treatment modalities. Interestingly, the vagus nerve (or tenth cranial nerve) connects bidirectionally the brainstem to various internal organs including the lung and to one external organ, namely, the outer ear. Hence, the impact of auricular vagus nerve stimulation through semi-permanent needles will be studied, mostly used so far for pain alleviation, on the outcome of COVID-19 inpatients within 15 days.
Description: Inpatients are considered as clinically improved if they have gained at least 2 points on the following clinical evaluation scale, or if they went back home Clinical evaluation scale :1. Outpatient back to normal activities / 2. Outpatient without normal activities / 3. Inpatient without oxygen therapy / 4. Inpatient with oxygen therapy/ 5. Inpatient requiring either nasal high-flow oxygen therapy or non-invasive respirator or both / 6. Inpatient, requiring either ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) or invasive artificial respirator, or both / 7. Deceased.
Measure: Comparison of the percentage of clinically improved inpatients between D0 and D14 Time: 14 day after interventionThis is a prospective, multi-site study designed to evaluate whether the use of hydroxychloroquine in healthcare workers (HCW), Nursing Home Workers (NHW), first responders (FR), and Detroit Department of Transportation bus drivers (DDOT) in SE, Michigan, can prevent the acquisition, symptoms and clinical COVID-19 infection 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 Southeast 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.
Description: We will measure the difference in new cases of COVID-19 disease between randomized treatment arms. Plan statistical analyses will include the assumption that up 10% of HCW at risk will become infected if no prophylactic treatment is provided. Therefore we expect that HCQ treatment arm will provide a reduction in the number of SARS-CoV 2 infections by 30%, with an expected study retention rate of 90%, a sample size of ~1500 participants per group, will have an 80% power to detect the difference at p=0.05.

Time: 8 weeksCoronaviruses (CoV) are positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses that infect a wide range of hosts producing diseases ranging from the common cold to serious / fatal events. Nitazoxanide (NTZx) is a derivative of 5-nitrothiazole, synthesized in 1974 by Rosignol - Cavier. NTZx has powerful antiviral effects through the phosphorylation of protein kinase activated by double-stranded RNA, which leads to an increase in phosphorylated factor 2-alpha, an intracellular protein with antiviral effects. The purpose of this study is to contrast the beneficial effect of NTZx vs NTZx plus hydroxychloroquine in patients Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) as well as against other treatments.
Description: Percentage of patients COVID-19 positive that required mechanical ventilation
Measure: Mechanical ventilation requirement Time: Since the diagnosis until two weeks afterCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The infection is highly contagious requiring restrictive and stressful measures for patients, family members and ICU healthcare providers. To avoid contagion, patient isolation has become the rule. For patients, these measures add stress to the ICU environment and deprive them of unrestricted family visits. Family members are not only left with fear but also many unanswered questions. In end-of-life situations, many family members are unable to say good-bye and unable to provide support to their loved-one throughout the process. The impact of exclusion or limited inclusion certainly needs to be explored. Moreover, ICU caregivers are having to face new challenges and to work in a unknown situation, juggling with both professional issues such as increased workload, working longer hours and safety issues, and personal issues such as child care and transport as well as family transmission of the virus. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate that the COVID-19 pandemic, as compared to seasonal flu and community acquired pneumonia, significantly increases post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in family members of critically ill patients. PTSD-related symptoms will be assessed in family members using the IES-R (impact of event scale revised) during a telephone interview 90 days after ICU discharge. The IES-R is a 22-item self-report measure that assesses subjective distress caused by traumatic events. It will be compared across the three groups (COVID-19, FLU and CAP).

Anakinra (ANA) is a recombinant human decoy IL-1Ra and therefore blocks IL-1α and IL-1β. The study has a cohort multiple Randomized Controlled Trials (cmRCT) design. Randomization will occur prior to offering Anakinra administration to patients enrolled in the COVIMUNO-19 cohort. Anakinra will be administered to consenting adult patients hospitalized with CORVID-19 either diagnosed with moderate or severe pneumonia requiring no mechanical ventilation or critical pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation. Patients who will chose not to receive Anakinra will receive standard of cares. Outcomes of Anakinra -treated patients will be compared with outcomes of standard of care treated patients as well as outcomes of patients treated with other immune modulators.

Currently, with nearly 1.3 million confirmed cases, there is still no effective way to contain the disease. The transmission of COVID-19 occurs via direct (prolonged close interaction, within 2 meters for more than 30 minutes) and indirect (fomites) contacts. Locally, the risk of COVID-19 infection in household contacts of confirmed cases is about 4%. These at-risk individuals are identified through contact tracing and infectious may be preventable using post-exposure-prophylaxis (PEP). However, there has yet to be a single effective, safe, and affordable pharmacological agent with such capabilities. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a cheap anti-malarial and immunomodulatory agent which may potentially be used as PEP against COVID-19. HCQ is capable of blocking the invasion and intracellular replication of the virus. Existing studies have reported efficacy of HCQ in treating COVID-19, with reduced time to clinical recovery and few reports of patients suffering from significant side effects. However, existing studies are largely limited by their small sample sizes. Furthermore, there has yet to be a published trial on HCQ's role in PEP. This cluster randomized trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral HCQ PEP, taken over for 5 days, in reducing the number of infected household contacts of confirmed COVID-19 patients under home quarantine. Comparison will be made between HCQ PEP (treatment group) and no treatment (control group). Subjects will be followed up over a course of 28 days, with daily symptom monitoring conducted over phone calls. Positive outcomes from this study will provide a means for us to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.

Measure: Symptoms of COVID-19. Time: Until day 28A 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.
Blood samples from participants who have recovered from COVID-19 infection will be obtained and studied. The goal of the research is to identify antibodies that have been generated by the patient to fight the COVID-19 infection. By identifying the most effective antibodies, scientists can make specific antibodies to use to prevent future coronavirus outbreaks or to treat patients with severe disease.
Description: The blood specimen will be proceeded into peripheral blood mononuclear cells and plasma to be stored for testing. In brief, CD27+ memory B cells that can bind to a SARS-CoV-2 S protein bait will be sorted by flow cytometry and RNA will be extracted to obtain heavy and light chain sequences. Antibody sequences will be annotated using bioinformatics approaches, and candidate sequences will be cloned. Purified antibodies will be characterized and neutralization breadth and potency against SARS-CoV-2 and other related coronaviruses will be assessed using neutralization assays.

Measure: Evolution of pulmonary CT scan images Time: up to Day 11The 2019 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 or COVID 19), which originated in Wuhan, China, has become a major concern all over the world. Convalescent plasma or immunoglobulins have been used as a last resort to improve the survival rate of patients with SARS whose condition continued to deteriorate despite any attempted treatment.. Moreover, several studies showed a shorter hospital stay and lower mortality in patients treated with convalescent plasma than those who were not treated with convalescent plasma. Evidence shows that convalescent plasma from patients who have recovered from viral infections can be used effectively as a treatment of patients with active disease. The use of solutions enriched of antiviral antibodies has several important advantages over the convalescent plasma including the high level of neutralizing antibodies supplied. Plasma-exchange is expensive and requires large volumes of substitution fluid. Albumin is better tolerated and less expensive, but exchanges using albumin solutions increase the risk of bleeding because of progressive coagulation factor depletion. With either albumin or fresh frozen plasma, increasing the risk of cardiovascular instability in the plasma donor and in the recipient, which can be detrimental in a critically ill patient with COVID 19 pneumonia. The aforementioned limitations of plasma therapy can be overcome by using selective apheresis methods, such as double-filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP).DFPP is a modality of plasma purification that performs an initial plasma separation from blood, and the subsequent separation of specific molecules, on the basis of their specific molecular weight (cut-off), by using a fractionation filter. The Fractionation Filter 2A20, because of its membrane sieving cut-off, retains larger molecules and returns plasma along with smaller molecules to the circulation, including the major part of the albumin. The selection of the membrane 2A20 is related to the appropriate Sieving Coefficient for IgG that allows to efficiently collect antibodies from patients which are recovered from COVID-19, with negligible fluid losses and limited removal of albumin. The total amount of antibodies obtained during one DFPP session exceeds by three to four times the total amount provided to recipients with one unit of plasma obtained during one plasma-exchange session from one COVID-19 convalescent donor. This should result in more effective viral inhibition and larger benefit for the patient achieved with one unit of enriched immunoglobulin solution obtained with DFPP than with one unit of plasma obtained with plasma exchange. These observations provide the background for a pilot study aimed to explore whether the infusion of antibodies obtained with one single DFPP procedure from voluntary convalescent donors could offer an effective and safe therapeutic option for critically ill patients with severe coronavirus (COVID-19) pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation.

SARS-CoV-2 spreads rapidly throughout the world. A large epidemic would seriously challenge the available hospital capacity, and this would be augmented by infection of healthcare workers (HCW). Strategies to prevent infection and disease severity of HCW are, therefore, desperately needed to safeguard continuous patient care. Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a vaccine against tuberculosis, with protective non-specific effects against other respiratory tract infections in in vitro and in vivo studies, and reported morbidity and mortality reductions as high as 70%. Furthermore, in our preliminary analysis, areas with existing BCG vaccination programs appear to have lower incidence and mortality from COVID191. The investigators hypothesize that BCG vaccination can reduce HCW infection and disease severity during the epidemic phase of SARS-CoV-2.
Description: The primary outcome measure is the development of COVID19 infection. We will use the Cox proportional-hazards model to calculate hazard ratios for the development of Covid-19. This will be reported as the proportion of individuals receiving the intervention who are PCR-positive or seroconvert. defined as number of new cases during the 6 month time period
Measure: Incidence of COVID 19 Infection Time: 6 monthsDescription: The secondary outcome measure is disease severity calculated using the Covid Severity Scale Scoring of 0 -10. A score of 10 is worse and a score of 0 is best. Disease severity score will be based on the level of care required for individuals who test positive for COVID19 as follows: non-hospital-based care; patient hospitalized but no oxygen required; hospitalized and oxygen required; patient treated in intensive care and/or on mechanical ventilation; patient died. Additional WHO criteria for severity include severe pneumonia, respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis and septic shock.
Measure: Disease Severity Time: up to 6 monthsCOVID-19's mechanism to enter the cell is initiated by its interaction with its cellular receptor, the angiotensin-converting enzyme. As a result of this union, a clathrin-mediated endocytosis process begins. This route is one of the therapeutic targets for which available drugs are being investigated in order to treat COVID-19 infection. This is one of the mechanisms blocked by drugs like ruxolitinib and chloroquine. Various drugs approved for clinical use that block the clathrin-mediated endocytosis pathway have been explored. It has been found that the best in vitro and in vivo results were obtained with statins, which also allowed generating a greater potent adaptive immune response. Therefore, statins and specifically simvastatin make it possible to block the entry process used by COVID-19, block inflammation by various mechanisms and increase the adaptive immune response. All of these processes are desirable in patients infected with COVID-19. Statins have been proposed to have beneficial effects in patients infected with MERS-COV, another coronavirus similar to COVID-19, but there have been no randomized studies supporting the use of statins in patients with COVID-19 infection. In this project we propose the combined use of one of these drugs, ruxolitinib with simvastatin, looking for a synergistic effect in the inhibition of viral entry and in the anti-inflammatory effect.

The purpose of this study is to determine how peoples' bodies respond to exposure to COVID-19. Employees of Beaumont Health in Michigan who are older than 18 years may be eligible to participate. Participants from other high-risk groups who are not Beaumont employees may also be recruited, as may family members of Beaumont employees who have tested positive for COVID-19. Participants will have blood drawn two or more times for serology testing. This serology test will determine if participants have detectable levels of the antibodies that our bodies develop to fight COVID-19 infection. Participants will fill out a questionnaire each time they provide a blood sample. The questionnaires include questions about participants' personal traits; their health; general questions about their risk to exposure; job and risk of exposure; symptoms, diagnosis, treatment of COVID-19 since last blood draw. Researchers will monitor participants' medical records in a confidential manner for one year after the last blood draw to help determine if people who develop antibodies to COVID-19 are protected against developing a COVID-19 infection in the future.There may be no direct benefits for participants; however, information from this study may benefit other people by increasing our understanding of COVID-19, how it spreads from person to person, and how people respond to fight off the infection.The results of the serology test are used for research only and will not affect clinical decisions regarding participants' treatment or quarantine
Description: Number of participants testing positive for the presence of IgG or IgA antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 using the EUROIMMUN Serology testing platform. Serology testing of Beaumont Health employees will allow an estimation of asymptomatic carriage and help determine level of nosocomial spread of COVID-19 within our institution among its employees. All participants will provide a minimum of 2 blood draws between 2 and 4 weeks apart to determine the presence of antibodies to COVID-19. Participants at medium risk for exposure in their job function at Beaumont will have 3 draws 2-4 weeks apart and people considered the highest risk, those who provide the direct patient care to COVID-19 patients, will be tested 2-4 weeks apart until the pandemic in Michigan is under control (estimated to be 8 blood draws).

The proposed hypothesis is that high doses of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for at least 2 weeks can be effective antiviral medication both as a treatment in ambulatory patients and prophylaxis/treatment in health care workers because it impairs lysosomal function and reorganizes lipid raft (cholesterol and sphingolipid rich microdomains in the plasma membrane) content in cells, which are both critical determinants of Emerging Viral Disease (EVD) infection. This hypothesis is based on a growing literature linking chloroquine to antiviral activity. It is estimated that enough information exists to launch a clinical trial of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19.

Measure: SARS-CoV 2 infection rate Time: up to 12 weeksCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) poses a significant threat to global health. As the disease progresses, a series of acute complications tend to develop in multiple organs. Beyond the supportive care, no specific treatment has been established for COVID-19. The effectiveness, both short-term and long-term, of some promising antivirals, such as the hydroxychloroquine combination with azithromycin, needs to be evaluated. This study aims to investigate the predictive role of cardiac biomarkers and pulmonary symptoms for late complications of COVID-19 coronavirus infection on the heart and lung in patients treated with the hydroxychloroquine / azithromycin combination therapy. Thus, COVID-19 coronavirus patients undergoing hydroxychloroquine / azithromycin combination therapy will be compared to patients not undergoing this therapy. The comparison will be made by the analysis of the relationships between (1) levels of ultrasensitive cardiac troponins collected at the beginning of the infection and cardiac magnetic resonance data in the 3rd and 12th months of troponin collection and (2) findings CT scans and the results of the ergospirometers tests performed in those same periods. It is expected to demonstrate that: (1) cardiac troponin and lung tomographic findings can predict late complications of COVID-19 coronavirus infection in the heart and lung, assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance and ergospirometers one year after the beginning of the infection, and (2) hydroxychloroquine / azithromycin combined therapy can abolish the onset of these complications late. Furthermore, the results may point to the need for more rigorous monitoring of cardiologists and pulmonologists of these patients, due to the risk of hemodynamic complications, arrhythmogenic and respiratory.

The first laboratory-confirmed case of COVID-19 in Austria was announced on February 27, 2020. Since then, the incidence of infection follows a gradual increase. Measurements taken by the Austrian government include travel restrictions, closing of national borders, social distancing, a mandatory use of facemasks in public, and closing of stores and restaurants. The underlying aim of those imposed restrictions is to contain the viral transmission and to slow spreading of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Objectives: The aims of this study are to determine i) how many employees in Austrian trauma hospitals and rehabilitation facilities have virus specific IgG and IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, ii) how many are active virus carriers (symptomatic and asymptomatic), iii) how many employees are in their incubation period during the study period, and iv) to calculate the SARS-CoV-2 prevalence together with a specific occupation associated infection risk within the different specifications of health care workers. Study Design: Open uncontrolled observational cross-sectional study. Setting/Participants: A total of 4000 employees in 11 Austrian trauma hospitals and rehabilitation facilities of the Austrian Social Insurance for Occupational Risks (AUVA) will be invited to participate in the study. Study Interventions and Measures: An antibody test for SARS-CoV-2 specific IgG and IgM antibodies, and a RT-PCR test based on oropharyngeal swab samples, as well as laboratory-based antibody tests using ELISA, will be implemented to ensure protection and preservation of health in hospital staff and are not part of the study. The tests will be conducted twice, with approximately two weeks in between testing. The results of the tests will be used for statistical analysis in this study together with a questionnaire including questions related to personal health, traveling activities, living situation, as well as inquiries of symptoms and comorbidities.

Treatments for severe forms are urgently needed to lower mortality. Any procedure that improves these forms should be considered, especially those devoid of serious side effects.There is not enough published information on the use of allogeneic convalescent plasma (ACP) in the treatment of severe forms of COVID-19. The use of ACP can be combined with other treatments and has very few adverse effects. It takes 10-14 days for SARS-CoV2-infected patients to produce virus-neutralizing antibodies: within that time they can develop serious complications and die. Injecting PAC into patients with severe forms of COVID-19 shortens the period of risk while the patient produces the antibodies.

Measure: Adverse reactions to plasma Time: 7 daysThe present Diagnostic Accuracy study aims at experimentally validating the use of a rapid salivary test to detect SARS-CoV-2 infection in both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals as a preliminary approach to a mass screening program. The study is based on a consecutive recruitment of both patients showing symptoms probably associated with COVID-19 (i.e., cough, dyspnea, fever) and asymptomatic patients with a low risk phenotype. The expected number of recruited individuals is 100. The experimental test is a prototype of salivary test based on the Lateral Flow Immunoassay technique and is able to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva, especially the Spike protein (S). The comparison is represented by the nasopharyngeal swab, the gold standard of COVID-19 diagnosis. Patients will undergo both salivary immunoassay and nasopharyngeal swab, thus the outcome assessors are blinded, since the results of the rRT-PCR analysis require at least 6 hours before being available. The main outcomes are sensibility and specificity of the rapid salivary test, when compared with the gold standard (nasopharyngeal swab).

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.
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.

However, it is not known if early administration of HDIVC could prevent progression to ARDS. We hypothesize that HDIVC is safe and tolerable in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) subjects given early or late in the disease course and may reduce the risk of respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation and development of ARDS along with reductions in supplemental oxygen demand and inflammatory markers.

No proven therapies have been identified to prevent progression of the virus. Preliminary data suggest that inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) could have benefit in preventing viral progression and reducing reliance on supplemental oxygen and ventilator support. Expanded access allows for iNO to be delivered via the portable INOpulse delivery system for the treatment of COVID-19.
For limiting COVID-19 spreading, the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended worldwide confinement on 2010. In France, unessential institutions were closed on March 14th and population confinement was decided on March 17th. Quarantine and/or confinement could lead to psychological effects such as confusion, suicide ideation, post-traumatic stress symptoms or anger COVID-19 outbreak highlighted a considerable proportion of health care workers (HCW) with depression, insomnia, anxiety and distress symptoms. In front line, facing the virus with the fear of contracting it and contaminate their closest. During previous outbreaks (H1N1, SARS), HCWs have been shown to experience such negative psychological effects of confinement as well as work avoidance behaviour and physical interaction reduction with infected patients (4-7). In France, Covid 19 outbeak led to increase ICU bed capacity with a full reorganization of the human resources. Some caregivers were reassigned to newly setup units admitting or not Covid-19 patients. In the same time, non-caregivers were also encouraged to work at home whenever possible. Thus, every hospital staff member's private and professional life could be altered by the Covid-19 outbreak. As all these changes in the daily life could induce psychological disturbances, the present study was aimed at assessing the acute anxiety level (main objective) of the staff in our Tertiary University Hospital, (6300 employees). Secondarily, the self-reported insomnia, pain, catastrophism and work avoidance behaviour levels were assessed

Measure: Catastrophism Time: 15 to 45 days after the beginning of the outbreakIn early December 2019, cases of pneumonia of unknown origin were identified in Wuhan, China. The causative virus was called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a public health emergency of international concern. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the management of COVID-19 has focused primarily on infection prevention, detection and patient monitoring. However, there is no vaccine or specific treatment for SARS-CoV-2 due to the lack of evidence. Treatment options currently include broad-spectrum antiviral drugs but the efficacy and safety of these drugs is still unknown. Convalescent plasma has previously been used to treat various outbreaks of other respiratory infections; however, it has not been shown to be effective in all the diseases studied. Therefore, clinical trials are required to demonstrate its safety and efficacy in patients with VIDOC-19. The present work seeks to determine the mortality from any cause up to 14 days after plasma randomization of patients cured of COVID-19 compared to the Best Available Therapy in subjects with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. This is a 2:1 randomized, double-blind, single-center, phase 2, controlled clinical trial (plasma: best available therapy) for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.

The investigators hypothesize that those with respiratory failure due to COVID-19 will have different burdens of mental and physical disability than those with respiratory failure who do not have COVID-19. Detecting these potential differences will lay an important foundation for treating long term sequelae of respiratory failure in these two cohorts.

Approximately 25% of hospitalized patients require treatment in intensive care units and 10% require mechanical ventilation. The diagnosis is made by the molecular polymerase chain reaction test. However, diagnostic tests are limited. The clinical care of the patient with COVID-19 is similar to that of patients with severe infectious respiratory complications, consisting of support and oxygen supplementation. Several medications have been tested as remdesivir, a pro-drug nucleoside, which acts by inhibiting viral RNA transcription, although a recently published study has shown no benefit. China recently approved the use of favipiravir, an antiviral used for influenza, as an experimental therapy for COVID-19. Hydroxychloroquine is a drug with great potential treatment, as it can inhibit the pH-dependent steps of replication of various viruses, with a potent effect on SARS-CoV infection and spread. In this way, the present study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the hydroxychloroquine in patients with symptomatic SARS-Cov2.

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.

Measure: Long-term follow up and recontact Time: Up to 10 yearsThe most prevalent complication of COVID-19 infection is respiratory failure from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the leading cause of mortality. There is increasing indication that the decompensation in severe COVD-19 infection may be due to a cytokine storm syndrome. This hyperinflammatory syndrome results in a fulminant and fatal hypercytokinemia and multiorgan failure. Approximately 15% of patients with COVID-19 infection are hospitalized and 20-30% of these hospitalized patients require ICU care and/or mechanical ventilation. Overall mortality in hospitalized patients is approximately 20-25%. There is significant interest in therapies that can be given upstream to reduce the rate of mechanical ventilation and thus mortality. We hypothesize that treatment with colchicine in COVID-19 moderate-severe patients may decrease the risk of progression into ARDS requiring increased oxygen requirements, mechanical ventilation, and mortality.

Measure: Severity of COVID-19 infection Time: 12 weeksCoronavirus (COVID-19) is a pandemic-like disease caused by a new coronavirus called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) isolated in China in 2019. Clinical manifestations vary widely from one individual to another, from asymptomatic carrier to a febrile cough that can rapidly lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic, screening by chest X-ray (RT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) SARS-CoV-2 conducted by the Cornwall Hospital Union laboratory has shown that among symptomatic patients and hospital staff suspected of being COVID-19, only 7.8% were attributable to COVID-19. Two nosocomial clusters were also identified, in the emergency department (10 carers) and in the cardiology department (6 carers and one patient). However, direct diagnosis by RT-PCR has sensitivity limits and can lead to false negative results when the subject is indeed suffering from COVID-19. This lack of sensitivity is inherent to the technique on the one hand, but also to the quality of the sample and the kinetics of the infection. Indeed, the virological window during which the virus is present in the respiratory mucous membranes sampled seems relatively narrow, hence a progressive negativation of the respiratory samples as the disease progresses. Moreover, clinical symptoms vary from one individual to another, and it is now recognized that some infected persons are asymptomatic but carry the virus. Thus, the use of a second diagnostic technique is a necessity, and serology could be a relevant diagnostic support. In the literature, several publications report the performance of COVID-19 serology in clusters of cases or cohorts of subjects. The serological techniques employed are variable (target epitopes in particular) and frequently homemade. Serology is mainly studied in comparison or association with RT-PCR in order to highlight the increased performance of COVID-19 diagnosis when the two techniques are combined. Correlation with chest CT imaging data is also encountered. Numerous serological tests are therefore being tested to determine retrospectively whether the individual has been exposed to the virus by looking for specific antibodies to the virus. The supreme health authority has drawn up specifications dated 16 April 2020, defining the methods for evaluating the performance of serological tests detecting antibodies directed against SARSCoV-2 in order to provide a framework for these practices. Several clinical studies are also underway, in particular to assess the kinetics of the appearance of the antibodies, whether these specific antibodies would be protective and whether their appearance would coincide with a cessation of contagiousness. Thus, the main objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the COVID-19 immunoglobulin (IgG) Dia-Pro serological test, in view of its deployment at the Cornish Hospital Union Laboratory. Subsequently, given the low prevalence of COVID-19 in Brittany and the risk of a second epidemic wave when the confinement is lifted, the evaluation of the seroprevalence of the staff of the Cornish Hospital Union is necessary in order to assess the attack rate of COVID-19 within the establishment and particularly within departments where nosocomial clusters have been reported; and to prevent the impact of deconfinement. Indeed, knowledge of the proportion of immunized personnel and its distribution according to services will make it possible to establish internal recommendations and to effectively manage personal protective equipment inventories, in conjunction with the deconfinement strategy that will be implemented by the government. The goal is to protect hospital staff from overexposure to the virus;

The present study involves three different phases of evaluation of the ECG traces of hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. - Phase 1: it is proposed to collect and retrospectively analyze the ECGs of hospitalized patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection which led to invasive ventilation or patient death as a consequence and, if available, also possible troponin dosage; - Phase 2: aims to collect and analyze the ECGs of consecutive hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and evaluate their relationship with the course of the disease, cardiac involvement and prognosis; - Phase 3: it is proposed to repeat ECG and to carry out echocardiogram to patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection after 3 months from hospital discharge by simultaneously performing, if deemed clinically indicated, also cardiac magnetic resonance. In this phase, any evolutions of ECG alterations of the acute phase will be described and the relationship with cardiac involvement will be assessed.

Measure: Phase 3: Correlation between ECG signs and cardiac involvement and mortality in the chronic phase Time: 12 monthsThe infectious disease COVID-19, caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), has been declared a pandemic and an international healthcare emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO). It has spread across the globe, overwhelming healthcare systems by causing high rates of critical illness. Mortality from COVID-19 exceeds 4%, with older people with comorbidities being extremely vulnerable. It is expected that between 50-80% of the world's population may contract SARS-CoV-2 over the next two years. It is expected that the outcomes will be potentially worse in Africa, because firstly, there is a limited workforce, and secondly there are limited intensive care facilities and critical care resources across Africa to provide sufficient care. It is important therefore to establish what resources, comorbidities and interventions are potentially associated with either mortality or survival in patients with COVID-19 who are referred for critical care in Africa. Rapid dissemination of these findings may help mitigate mortality from COVID-19 in critical care patients in Africa. These points provide the rationale for the African COVID-19 Critical Care Outcomes Study (ACCCOS).

Measure: Peak-muscle hyperechogenicity Time: 24 monthsCoronavirus COVID-19 is an emerging virus also called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Eighty percent of patients are poor or asymptomatic. However, there are major respiratory complications for some patients, requiring intensive care hospitalization and possibly leading to death in 5% of cases. One of the hypotheses put forward is that much of the pathophysiology is due to endothelial dysfunction associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation. The covid-19 pathology could induce coagulation impairment as observed during sepsis. An increase in D-dimer levels during covid-19 disease is itself associated with excess mortality. While D-dimers are highly sensitive, they are not specific for clotting activity. They may be increased in many other circumstances, particularly in inflammation. On the other hand, the infection stimulates the release of extracellular vesicles. These vesicles, of multiple cellular origin, are an actor of vascular homeostasis, and participate in the state of hyperactivation of coagulation. They have a major role in the prothrombotic state and the development of coagulopathy associated with sepsis. The aim of our monocentric prospective study would be to study early and more specific markers of hypercoagulability and markers of routine endothelial dysfunction, as soon as the patient is hospitalized, in order to predict the risk of hospitalization in intensive care.

Time: at enrollmentThe novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has spread all around the world and testing has posed a challenge globally. Health care providers are highly exposed and are an important group to test. On top of these concerns, health care workers are also stressed by the needs on responders in the COVID-19 crisis. The investigators will look at different ways to measure how common COVID-19 is among health care workers, how common is the presence of antibodies by serological tests (also known as serostatus). The investigators will describe health worker mental and emotional well-being and their coping strategies in their institutional settings. Lastly, the investigators will describe how knowing serostatus can affect individuals' mental and emotional well-being and how to cope in the midst of the COVID-19 response. This will help to how to better test and help healthcare workers in the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for possible future outbreaks.

The apparently strong association between blood levels of inflammaory cytokines and SARS-CoV-2 disease severity has led clinicians to evaluate the administration of steroids or anti-IL-6 antagonists in severely ill patients. As of this day, biomarkers capable of predicting clinical disease progression in Covid-19 patients with mild-to-moderate symptoms have not yet been formally identified. Identifying such markers and evaluating their predictive value may be exploited to guide patient care management, and as such forms the core objective of this proposal. Because of strong inter-individual variations in the ability of innate immune cells to produce cytokines, the hypothesis formulate and intend to test is that innate IL-6 responsiveness varies between recently infected Covid-19 patients and could predict disease outcome. To test this hypothesis, the investigator propose to follow recently infected kidney transplant patients with moderate Covid-19 symptoms. These patients stand a higher risk to progress to severe disease. The staff plan to collect a blood sample in these patients using a system whereby ex vivo cytokine production is initiated in the very same blood collection tube without prior separation and centrifugation, thus reducing labour and operator bias. After incubation with or without known innate immune stimuli, the cell-free phase from each collection-culture tube will be assayed for IL-6 content. Associations between IL-6 content and disease outcome (encephalopathy, transfer to acute care or death) will be determined in 115 Covid-19 kidney transplant patients with moderate symptoms followed in 9 centers.

Current recommendations of management of COVID-19 include large-scale tests for virus. Such tests reveal whether an individual is infected with the virus, however, the demonstration of virus per se has no prognostic value for the ensuing course of the COVID-19 disease. Publications of possible treatments strategies increase exponentially, while evidence of triage of the affected individuals is mainly based on the level of pulmonary affection as measured by the Oxygen saturation. To inform decision making for which patients are to be hospitalized due to risk of developing more severe affection, this study addresses the question, whether triage may be performed with the aid of a simple CRP measurement.

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.
Description: Patients with symptomatic pulmonary embolism confirmed on the CT-angiography and those with a swollen limb and confirmed deep venous thrombosis on compression ultrasound were considered to have "symptomatic venous thromboembolisms". The remaining patients with positive limb ultrasound or CT-angiography were considered to have "asymptomatic venous thrombembolism"
Measure: Venous thromboembolisms Time: 7 daysDescription: Deaths from all causes during the follow-up
Measure: Deaths Time: 7 daysAcute respiratory failure (ARF) is a common condition and a common reason for urgent medical consultation. Assessing the extent of respiratory impairment is important to improve the management of patients with ARF. When Acute respiratory failure is caused by pathology of the pulmonary parenchyma, quantification of pulmonary radiographic involvement may be a component of the initial assessment of severity. This radiographic quantification would only be usable in clinical routine if it can be automated and provide a real-time result. The objective of this work is to assess the feasibility of an automated technique for quantifying radiological lung damage in situations of known or potential ARF.
Currently there is no standard treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Use of convalescent plasma has been studied in outbreaks of other respiratory infections, including SARS-CoV-1 , MERS-CoV and Hantavirus infection. This study is an open-label randomized trial in which patients with high risk of COVID19-associated respiratory failure will be randomized to early treatment with convalescent plasma (≤ 7 days from symptoms start) or at early signs of respiratory failure or prolonged hospitalization. COVID-19 convalescent plasma will be collected from individuals according to the institutional protocol.

Measure: Median length of viral clearance Time: 1 year follow upSARS-CoV-2 belong to beta-coronavirus family and its transmission route and symptoms follow those of all community-acquired coronaviruses. The main difference of the novel Coronavirus is the higher mortality rate, that is around 3%. Death rate is over 1% only for patients over 50 years old, whereas until 40 years old is under 0,4%. No fatalities are declared among children under 10 years old to date. Death rate is almost double for male rather than female. This distribution of mortality rate according to age of infected patients could be only partially ascribed to other comorbidities in addition to great age. In fact, patients with no pre-existing conditions have however a case fatality rate of 0,9%. The almost null rate of severe illness in children and generally in patients younger than 40 years old is quite un-explicable. Infant, children and young people could be infected but infection is rapidly self-limited or without symptoms. Older patients undergo severe lung injury as consequence of an immune response that is late in coming. Possible explanation of these phenomena could be something, which assure ability to prompt response to SARS-CoV-2 in younger people independently from the novelty of the virus itself. It would seem to be that younger people are already sensitized to the antigens of the virus without a previous contact. This immunity is not really specific, but "partially specific" for many antigens of the virus, however able to limit the infection in the organism. Something stimulated the immune system and it scattered immunity against more and more antigens present. Children are the age group mostly exposed to all community-circulating viruses. This immunity is not persistent but progressively fade out. It protects from the age of two, when the hypothetical stimulation occurs, to the fifth decade because of its slow decrease. The only external stimulation, which healthy people receive are vaccines. All vaccinations and especially tetanic, diphtheria toxoids and inactivated bacteria as pertussis could stimulate immune system. They develop the specific immunity but generate also a sprouting immunity against antigens in transit, as coronaviruses and other community-circulating viruses. The developed immunity gives some protection against multiple viral infection for years until the natural fade out. After the fifth decade, that immunity is slower to be recall and reactivated. Additionally, transplant recipients and HIV infected patients, which have an immune system inhibited, unexpectedly, do not seem to suffer the worst complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection. An immune system imbalance could be play a pivotal role during the reaction to the virus, limiting destructive consequences of excessive inflammation. According to the medical hypothesis on which the protocol is based on, young people could benefit from a functional adaptation of innate immune cells induced through epigenetic reprogramming and, especially, a pre-existing "partially specific" immunity to the community viruses caused by "bystander effect" of preceding vaccinations. In this study, we will explore the main differences existing among patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 who experience the illness at different degree of severity. We suppose to recognize different populations of patients, each one with a specific immunological pattern. It could differ in terms of cytokines, soluble factors serum level and immune cells activity both of the innate compartment and of the acquired one. The proof of a role of these immunological phenomena in the pathogenesis of Covid-19 are bases for implementation of therapeutic immunomodulatory treatments. In addition, the definition of an immunological risk profile could tailor established therapies to each kind of patient.
Description: Scientists' hypothesis is that monocytes, NK, CD4 AND CD8 T cells, in patients with severe infection to SARS-CoV-2, show an impairment in their function: cells reveal an overpowering hyperactivity that provokes a pathologic inflammatory response with a massive production of proinflammatory cytokine, edema and pulmonary fibrosis.
Measure: Immune cells activity Time: 6 monthsDescription: The secondary objectives are to correlate clinical data and vaccination history with laboratory immune pattern to identify protective factors for Covid 19 and open paths for new therapeutic strategies.
Measure: Protective factors and new therapeutic strategies Time: 6 monthsCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Lung failure is the main cause of death related to COVID-19 infection. The main objective of this study is to evaluate if Ibrutinib is safe and can reduce respiratory failure in participants with COVID-19 infection. Ibrutinib is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of COVID-19. Participants are assigned 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 2 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Around 46 adult participants with a diagnosis of COVID-19 will be enrolled at multiple sites in Unites States. Participants will receive oral doses of Ibrutinib or placebo capsules once daily for 4 weeks along with standard care. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects.

In adults, several evolutionary patterns are observed: i) a/pauci-symptomatic forms; ii) severe forms immediately linked to rare extensive viral pneumonia; and iii) forms of moderate severity, some of which progress to secondary aggravation (Day 7-Day 10). Children can be affected, but are more rarely symptomatic and severe pediatric forms are exceptional. Like some other coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)), these differences in clinical expression could be based on a variability in the immunological response, notably either via inhibition of the type I interferon (IFN-I) response, or on the contrary an immunological dysregulation responsible for a "cytokine storm" associated with the aggravation. Little is known about the impact of these innate immune response abnormalities on the adaptive response. In addition, certain genetic factors predisposing to a state of "hyper-fragility" and certain viral virulence factors could also be predictive of the clinical response. In this context, the main hypothesis is that the virological analysis and the initial biological and immunological profiles are correlated with the initial clinical presentation of COVID-19 infection. In particular, children forms and pauci-symptomatic disease in adults may be linked to a more robust innate immune response, including better production of IFN-I.

Patients will receive up to 6 mg Artemisinin, 20 mg Curcumin, 15 mg Frankincense and 60 mg vitamin C given daily as an add-on therapy (in addition to standard care) in two divided doses, on Days 1 and 2. Patients will be randomized in a manner of 2:1 for study drug (ArteminC) and Standard of Care to Placebo and Standard of Care. Patient follow-up will last 2 weeks. During this time, patients will be monitored for adverse events. Additional time will be required for follow up (until hospital discharge) in order to check side effects and study drug efficacy. Placebo, composed of the same solvent but without active ingredients, will be given in the placebo group as add-on therapy, 2 times a day, on Days 1 and 2. Overall rationale A preparation of ArtemiC, comprising Artemisinin, Curcumin, Boswellia, and Vitamin C in a nanoparticular formulation, is proposed as a treatment for the disease associated with the novel corona virus SARS-CoV-2. It is readily available in light of its status as a food supplement. This initiative is presented under the urgent circumstances of the fulminant pandemic caused by this lethal disease, which is known as COVID-19 and has spread across the globe causing death and disrupting the normal function of modern society. The grounds for the proposal are rooted in existing knowledge on the components and pharmacological features of this formulation and their relevance to the current understanding of the disease process being addressed. Leading among these considerations are well established immuno-modulatory activities of the active ingredients as established in vitro and in vivo and published over the years. These activities as apparent, for example, in diminishing activity of TNF alpha and IL-6 levels are acknowledged to be relevant to the pathophysiology processes involved in the progressive form of COVID-19. The active agents have in addition prominent anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory as well as anti-aggregant and anti-microbial activities. Based on these activities and observations in animal models, together with clinical experience of the separate ingredients and in various combinations in other contexts it is proposed to evaluate their effect in the context of COVID-19. Study Purpose This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ArtemiC on patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Methodology 50 adult patients who suffer from COVID-19 infection studied in parallel groups treated with active agent or placebo as add on to standard care. Safety will be assessed through collection and analysis of adverse events, blood and urine laboratory assessments and vital signs.

These probabilities will undergo a receiver operating (ROC) analysis where area under curve (AUC) with 95% confidence interval will be the reported outcome measure.
Measure: Prediction of death using raw camera data Time: Death for any cause up until 30 days after inclusionIt has been suggested that ibuprofen might be associated with more severe cases of coronavirus infections, based on the observation that severe COVID cases had been exposed to ibuprofen, resulting in a warning by the French authorities. This was attributed to: 1. a suggestion that ibuprofen might upregulate ACE-2 thereby increasing the entrance of COVID-19 into the cells, 2. an analogy with bacterial soft-tissue infections where more severe infections on NSAIDs are attributed to an immune-depressive action of NSAIDs, or to belated treatment because of initial symptom suppression, 3. fever is a natural response to viral infection, and reduces virus activity: antipyretic activity might reduce natural defenses against viruses. However fever reduction in critically ill patients had no effect on survival. However, these assertions are unclear: upregulation of ACEII would increase the risk of infection, not necessarily its severity, and would only apply to the use of NSAIDs before the infection, i.e. chronic exposure. It would be irrelevant to the infection once the patients are infected, i.e., to symptomatic treatment of COVID-19 infection. Anti-inflammatory effect masking the early symptoms of bacterial infections resulting in later antibiotic or other treatment is not applicable: there is no treatment of the virus that might be affected by masking symptoms. Antipyretic effect increasing the risk or the severity of infection would apply equally to all antipyretic agents including paracetamol, which share the same mechanism of action for fever reduction. EMA remains prudent about this assertion In addition, excess reliance on paracetamol while discouraging the use of ibuprofen might increase the risk of hepatic injury from paracetamol overdose. Paracetamol is the prime drug associated with liver injury and transplantation, in voluntary and inadvertent overdose or even at normal doses. This might be increased by COVID-related liver function alterations. It is therefore proposed to conduct a case-control study in a cohort of patients admitted to hospital in France with COVID-19 infection.

This can be calculated by dividing the number of subjects without olfactory & taste disturbances who do not have COVID-19 infection with the number of patients without olfactory & taste disturbances, and multiplying by 100%
Measure: Specificity of olfactory and taste disturbances in predicting COVID-19 infection Time: BaselineThe effective medical treatment against COVID-19 infection is still unknown. Chloroquine phosphate is a well-known antimalarial drug which has been on the market for many years. Recently, in vitro study shown that Chloroquine is effective at both entry and at post-entry stages of the COVID-19 infection of Vero E6 cells with promising results. Chloroquine is also an immune-modifier and could distribute to the whole body including lung. Also, chloroquine is cheap and safe, and could be a promising agent against COVID-19 infection. However, only hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) with the extra hydroxyl group is available in Taiwan. Therefore, hydroxychloroquine instead become the best choice for the treatment candidate, since it shows higher in vitro potency (EC50) against COVID-19 with lower toxicity while retaining the original effect which compared with chloroquine.

Front-line healthcare workers can become infected in the management of patients with COVID-19; the high viral load in the atmosphere, and infected medical equipment are sources for the spread of SARS-CoV-2. If prevention and control measures are not in place, these healthcare workers are at great risk of infection and become the inadvertent carriers to patients who are in hospital for other diseases. Nowadays a question that has not yet been clarified by science has been arises: is hydroxychloroquine associated with zinc compared to ivermectin associated with zinc effective as a prophylaxis for asymptomatic professionals involved in the treatment of suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19?

The people most exposed to this virus remain the healthcare personnel who are on the front line in the fight against this pandemic. Due to the delayed nature of the pandemic in Reunion island and its insular geographical situation, the study of the voluntary medical personnel will allow the investigators to establish a longitudinal follow-up of the anomalies of the lipidic balance in relation to the exposure to the SARS-Cov virus. 2. During bacterial infections, the lipid profiles are profoundly modified with very significant reductions in plasma cholesterol levels, LDL-C but especially HDL-C whose concentrations are particularly low. Lipid profiles are altered during viral infections, for example, the severity of dengue is inversely correlated with total cholesterol and LDL-C but not with HDL-C levels, according to a recent meta-analysis. The hepatitis C virus circulates in serum linked to lipoproteins rich in triglycerides and HDL can facilitate its entry into cells via Scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SRB1). Likewise, it has been shown that apoA1 can bind to the dengue virus and increase its infectivity by promoting its entry into cells, also via SRB1. At the moment, nothing is known about the lipid profiles in subjects with SARS-CoV-2. The investigator hypothesize that a drop in plasma HDL-C levels and a change in their size during infection could justify future therapeutic approaches aimed at supplementing the subjects most at risk of pulmonary complications. In a model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia in mice, investigators have shown that the injection of reconstituted HDL allowed to limit the pulmonary inflammation and the deleterious consequences of the infection. The investigator propose to study not only the lipid profiles in subjects who are infected with SARS-CoV-2 but also the polymorphisms of genes involved in the regulation of lipoprotein levels like that of Cholesterol Ester-Transfer Protein (CETP) depending on the developed forms, symptomatic or not.

The clinical presentation and course of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is poorly understood in older patients and is certainly different from the general population. This project is designed to better understand and to determine clinical, biological and radiological markers of poor adverse outcomes in hospitalized older patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

Measure: To explore specific clinical profiles that may influence COVID-19 disease outcomes in the elderly based on geriatrics syndromes Time: 1 monthIn December 2019 in the city of Wuhan in China, a series of patients with unclear pneumonia was noticed, some of whom have died of it. In virological analyses of samples from the patients' deep respiratory tract, a novel coronavirus was isolated (SARS-CoV-2). The disease spread rapidly in the city of Wuhan at the beginning of 2020 and soon beyond in China and, in the coming weeks, around the world. Initial studies described numerous severe courses, particularly those associated with increased patient age and previous cardiovascular, metabolic and respiratory diseases. A small number of the particularly severely ill patients required not only highly invasive ventilation therapy but also extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) to supply the patient's blood with sufficient oxygen. Even under maximum intensive care treatment, a very high mortality rate of approximately 80-100% was observed in this patient group. In addition, high levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) could be detected in the blood of these severely ill patients, which in turn were associated with poor outcome. From experience in the therapy of severely ill patients with severe infections and respiratory failure, we know that treatment with a CytoSorb® adsorber can lead to a reduction of the circulating pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and thus improve the course of the disease and the outcome of the patients. The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of extracorporeal cytokine adsorption on interleukin-6-levels and time to successful ECMO explantation under controlled conditions in patients with particularly severe COVID-19 disease requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Epidemiological evidence points to the existence of intrinsic protection factors which make young persons and women more resistant to the infection, whereas older patients with multiple illnesses, above all with heart disease, are at greatest risk. This trial proposes treatment initiated in the early stages of the disease, when clinical worsening is most likely, with intravenous Oxytocin (OT), an endogenous hormone currently safely used in clinical practice. The selection of this molecule is based on numerous experimental and clinical observations, which show its activity in modulating resistance to pathogens, in mitigating overall cardiovascular risk, and in acting on the production of Nitric Oxide (ON) in the lungs, which is emerging as a key therapeutic factor for the improvement of respiratory function in patients with SARS-COVID 19. Finally, OT is physiologically produced by the human body, especially in the female sex and in the age ranges that coincide with most resistant patients. In routine clinical practice, OT exhibits an excellent therapeutic index, in absence of significant adverse effects. Primary aim To assess the effects of Oxytocin in addition to standard therapy, with respect to Standard of Care (SoC), in reducing the number of patients who enter a critical stage Secondary aim To describe: - Mortality 28 days after randomization - Time to mechanical ventilation during the study - Duration of dependency on oxygen supply - Length of stay - Temporal trend of clinical improvement (7-category ordinal scale) - Safety analysis

Measure: Mortality 28 days after randomization Time: 28 daysCoronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments Drugs used to treat malaria infection has shown to be beneficial for many other diseases, including viral infections. In this Clinical trial, Investigators will evaluate the effect of Artemisinin / Artesunate on morbidity of COVID-19 patients in decreasing the course of the disease and viral load in symptomatic stable positive swab COVID-19 patients. Investigators are hypothesizing that due to the antiviral properties of this drug it will help as a treatment for the COVID -19 patients. In improving their condition and clearing the virus load,

Measure: resolution of symptoms Time: 6 days - 10 dayMolecular testing (e.g PCR) of respiratory tract samples is the recommended method for the identification and laboratory confirmation of COVID-19 cases. Recent evidence reported that the diagnostic accuracy of many of the available RT-PCR tests for detecting SARS-CoV2 may be lower than optimal. Of course, the economical and clinical implications of diagnostic errors are of foremost significance and in case of infectious outbreaks, namely pandemics, the repercussions are amplified. False positives and false-negative results may jeopardize the health of a single patient and may affect the efficacy of containment of the outbreak and of public health policies. In particular, false-negative results contribute to the ongoing of the infection causing further spread of the virus within the community, masking also other potentially infected people.

Measure: Clinical, behavioral, and sociodemographic determinants Time: Up to 27 monthsCOVID-19 has adversely affected the healthcare system across the world. The world was not prepared for global outbreak of infectious diseases. The rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is enabling researchers worldwide to acquire a large amount of clinical data regarding coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The COVID-19 infection severely affects the respiratory system in the critical cases and results in mortalities. The affected people experience a dry cough, fever, breathing problems, diarrhea, muscle pain, and sore throat. Besides that, some of the evidence from Italy, South Korea, China, and Spain suggest that the COVID-19 cases also lose their senses of smell and taste resulting in alterations in those patients. The objective of this proposed study is to determine whether COVID-19 cases have Olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions as a hallmark indicator and can be used as diagnostic tools for the isolation of suspected people. Investigators are presenting a prospective proportional case-control study that is conducted to investigate the COVID-19 cases with anosmia and /or Ageusia in a university hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The sample size of this case series would be 250 cases of suspected COVID-19 patients. The cases included in the study are analyzed prospectively to determine if the cases had a history of anosmia and /or Ageusia, and then tested for the alteration of these senses through a panel of standardized odors/taste strips. That is looked at statistically allowing us to confirm the proposed effectiveness of these tests as a diagnostic tool.

A study demonestrated that patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus may be at higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, as these patients are often treated with ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin II type-I receptor blockers (ARBs), which have been previously suggested to increase ACE2 expression, In another study by Sinha et al who analyzed a publicly available Connectivity Map (CMAP) dataset of pre/post transcriptomic profiles for drug treatment in cell lines for over 20,000 small molecules, isotretinoin was the strongest down-regulator of ACE 2 receptors. On the other hand, they found 6 drugs in CMAP that are currently being investigated in clinical trials for treating COVID-19 (chloroquine, thalidomide, methylprednisolone, losartan, lopinavir and ritonavir, from clinicaltrials.gov), none of which was found to significantly alter ACE2 expression (P>0.1) Moreover, another study demonstrated that isotretinoin is a Potential papain like protease (PLpro) inhibitors which is a protein encoded by SARS-CoV-2 genes and considered one of the proteins that should be targeted in COVID-19 treatment by performing target-based virtual ligand screening. As Investigators discussed before in their previous clinical trial (NCT04353180) that Isotretinoin is the strongest down-regulator of ACE2. and the principal investigator expects that Isotretinoin can inhibit or downrgulat ACE2 by direct interaction and binding with the transmembrane ACE2, Suggesting its therapeutic potential in preventing the entry of COVID 2019 to the host cell. The second combined drug is tamoxifen, A study demonstrated that tamoxifen causes redistribution of weak base chemotherapeutics from acidic organelles to the nucleus in drug-resistant cells. Agents that disrupt organelle acidification (e.g., monensin, bafilomycin A1) cause a similar redistribution. Measurement of cellular pH in several cell lines reveals that tamoxifen inhibits acidification of endosomes and lysosomes without affecting cytoplasmic pH, Tamoxifen decreased the rate of vesicular transport though the recycling and secretory pathways. Organellar acidification is required for many cellular functions, and its disruption could account for many of the side effects of tamoxifen. A sudy demonstrated that the phagocytosis is inhabited by tamoxifen and chloroquine in retinal epithelial cells and Also, a study demonstrated that Tamoxifen have weak base property and increase endolysosomal pH and alter endosomal dynamics. Importantly, TAM treatment enhanced survival of mice injected with a lethal dose of STx1 or STx2,The protective effect was independent of estrogen receptors but dependent on the weak base property of TAM, which allowed TAM to increase endolysosomal pH and alter endosomal dynamics. A study demonstrated that Tamoxifen have antimalarial effect via treating mice infected with P. berghei, which show lower levels of parasitaemia and do not develop signs of cerebral malaria, Tamoxifen is found to prevent lung fibrosis and reduce serum TGFβ-1 levels. A study Reported that Tamoxifen have endosomal and lysosomal cysteine proteases inhibitory effect better than chloroquine , Cathepsins are endosomal and lysosomal cysteine proteases that play important roles in protein degradation in various cellular processes including both the endocytic pathway and autophagy. The role of cathepsins in viral infection was first identified by Huang et al and they found that one cysteine proteases inhibitor E64d and a specific cathepsin L inhibitor Z-FY(t-Bu)-DMK are able to block the SARS-CoV infection. A study demonestrated that Cathepsin D was more sensitive to tamoxifen than to chloroquine. Tamoxifen exposures decreased the cathepsin D activity at less than 10 pM concentrations. The effect of chloroquine started at concentration of 15 pM, Finally, the principal investigator expects strong inhibition of COVID-19 by this combination therapy.

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.

Inflammation and blood clotting are believed to play an important role in these manifestations. Research in humans has shown that dipyridamole can reduce blood clotting. This research study is being conducted to learn whether 14 days of treatment with dipyridamole will reduce excessive blood clotting in COVID-19. This study will enroll participants with confirmed coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2 infection that are admitted. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive dipyridamole or placebo for 14 days in the hospital. In addition, data will be collected from the medical record, and there will also be blood draws during the hospitalization.

Studies have shown that nasal rinsing and mouth washes may be an important way to deliver treatments that could reduce the amount of a virus that is present in the nose and mouth. This also could mean that there is less virus available to pass on to others. We want to see if the use of nose rinses and mouth washes using Povidone-Iodine will reduce the the amount of virus in the nose and throat of people who have tested positive for COVID-19 disease and also reduce the spread of infection within their household.

Measure: Percentage of mechanical ventilation Time: Up to 6 months after hospital discharge and/or full recovery from the disease (asymptomatic)COVID-19 patients with a severely symptomatic progression with development of an Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to SARS-CoV-2 need prolonged intensive care treatment involving pharmacological immobilization, sedation and mechanical ventilation, leaving them at a very high risk for developing Critical illness myopathy (CIM). CIM is associated with increased mortality and significant consequences for recovery and the ability to return to normal daily life. Up to date, there are no studies investigating the mid- or long-term course of the novel COVID-19 disease. The present study therefore aims to evaluate the clinical outcome of patients with ARDS due to SARS-CoV-2 with special attention to the development of CIM and its underlying causes. To provide the possibility of early diagnosis of CIM, critically ill patients will be regularly screened for muscle membrane alterations using (Muscle velocity recovery cycles) MRVC measurements. The primary endpoint is the incidence of CIM in patients with ARDS due to SARS-CoV-2, diagnosed according to the current diagnostic criteria.

This is a clinical trial aiming to prove that addition of oral clarithromycin to treatment regimen of COVID-19 is associated with early clinical improvement and attenuation of the high inflammatory burden of the host. The study will not comprise a placebo-comparator group since this is considered inappropriate in an era of a pandemic with substantial global mortality.

Measure: Change of the IL-10/TNFα ratio between days 1 and 8 Time: Day 1 to Day 8In December 2019, Coronavirus infection (COVID-19) was identified as causing serious respiratory infection in humans. Initially COVID-19 was propagated by infected symptomatic individuals; currently the disease is disseminated by asymptomatic COVID-19 positive subjects. The prevalence of asymptomatic COVID-19 individuals is unknown. Due its physiologic immune suppression, pregnancy is a vulnerable time for severe respiratory infections including COVID-19. Limited information is available regarding the impact of COVID-19 in pregnancy and the prevalence and demographic profile of asymptomatic pregnant women. Despite reports of 15-20% positive COVID-19 tests in women admitted to Labor and Delivery, professional obstetric medical societies still recommend not prioritizing testing of patients who are asymptomatic. In the USA, COVID-19 symptomatic patients come predominantly from lower income, Black and Latino communities. No data are available on the rate and demographic distribution of asymptomatic positive COVID-19 pregnant women. To minimize the risk of inadvertent exposure asymptomatic individuals, recently our institution started COVID-19 testing in all admitted pregnant women. The investigators expect to gain knowledge on the impact of COVID-19 in pregnant women especially if asymptomatic and compare to other respiratory infections.

The key secondary endpoints are 28 day survival, an increase in PaO2/FiO2 ratio by 50% at 96 hours, days to hospital discharge to home or rehab, and number of days requiring mechanical ventilation. Patients will be eligible for treatment with 3 daily consecutive doses of hCT-MSC at 1 million cells/kg (max dose 100 million cells), 18-30 hours apart, if they have a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 and meet clinical and radiographic criteria for ARDS. Results from the first 10 patients will be compared with concurrent outcomes utilizing standard of care treatments in participating hospitals and in published reports in the medical literature. Results from the additional 20 patients will be combined with the first 10 and analyzed. The trial is relying on focused eligibility of the participants (patients with ARDS), single cohort with short trial time (4 weeks), and simple assessment of clinical outcome (survival, improvement of ARDS). This is a sequential design in the sense that after the first 10 patients are evaluated a decision will be made by the PIs and the Data Safety Monitoring Board whether to proceed with the exploratory randomized portion of the study.

Ozone therapy has become o promising tool for both prevention and treatment of COVID-19 infection by various possible mechanisms. The oxidative stress created by ozone in the body to stimulate the peripheral phagocytic cells, activate the antioxidant system, and restore the immune system is thought to be effective for the prevention of COVID-19 infection. In recent years, ozone therapy has become a popular alternative method for chronic pain management of various diseases such as fibromyalgia, knee osteoarthritis, and rheumatic diseases. As a result of this, there were many individuals who had received ozone therapy before the outbreak of COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate the preventive effect of ozone therapy against COVID-19 infection in these individuals.
Description: It involved questions about age, gender, height, weight, occupation, comorbidities, and concurrent medications, in addition to a detailed query for COVID-19 infection
Measure: The survey that was taken by telephone calls Time: Day 0Professionals and residents of nursing homes are one of the most vulnerable groups in this public health crisis of COVID-19, since they have the highest rate of positives for COVID-19, despite the restriction measures carried out, such as prohibition of family visits to these centers, the infection occurs by cross transmission with the care staff of the centers, or with other residents. At the moment, there are no clinical trials to test the hypothesis that hydroxychloroquine is effective in coronavirus treatment. Although what has been observed is a better prognosis in infected patients, since this drug inhibits the replication of the virus and its expansion to other tissues. This study is a clinical trial to test the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine as a preventive drug for SARS-CoV-2 infection. This drug will be applied to 1050 people residing in nursing home care and 880 professionals who work in close contact with these people and who have not yet contracted the infection. This project will be carried out in the territories of Madrid, Navarra, Aragon and Andalusia (Spain). Hydroxychloroquine is a widely known drug that is used in two scenarios, against autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, and as an antimalarial drug. It is also intended to demonstrate that the presumed reduction in viral load that would be obtained with hydroxychloroquine prophylaxis, would have no effect in development of immunity against the virus. This fact can create a new paradigm for the de-escalation of the confinement to which the population has been subjected to stop the virus spread, allowing the development of general immunity in controlled populations until reaching total immunity. In addition to testing the effect of this drug, a non-pharmacological intervention based on a safety record will be tested in the management of infection on nursing home, to assess its effectiveness in detecting risk areas or bad practices carried out in this vulnerable environment. The study is led by researchers of the Institute of Biomedicine of Malaga (Spain), and has obtained a financing of 1,024,199 euros from Carlos III Health Institute (Spain). The period of execution of the clinical trial is one year, and with this intervention, the intention is to reduce cross-infection in residents by a minimum threshold of 15%, as well as to decrease infection in the professionals.

It is thought that COVID-19 activates the complement system, part of the immune system that responds to infection or tissue damage, and increases inflammation in the lungs. APL-9 has been designed to inhibit or block activation of part of the complement pathway, and potentially reduce inflammation in the lungs. Part 1 of the study is open-label to evaluate safety; all participants will receive APL-9 plus standard of care. Part 2 of the study is double-blind, randomized; participants will receive either APL-9 or the vehicle-control plus standard of care.

If severe respiratory disease is the form that constitutes the extreme gravity of the disease (mortality, with more than 170,000 deaths worldwide to date). However, there is a great heterogeneity of clinical forms with asymptomatic or symptomatic pauci forms, moderate forms, up to severe forms. Different symptoms may appear: fever, cough, asthenia, dyspnea, gastrointestinal forms, anosmia and / or ageusia, skin involvement, etc. Given the novelty of this infection, several questions remain: - What are all the symptoms that can be contracted by a COVID-19 patient? - Are there clinical forms not described? - What is the evolutionary profile, the healing time of this disease in patients treated on an outpatient basis? - What are the factors associated with a prolonged form of COVID-19 disease, including on an outpatient basis?

To date, no treatment has been shown to be effective in controlling this disease in hospitalized patients with moderate and / or severe cases of this disease. Hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir / ritonavir have been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV viral replication in experimental severe acute respiratory symptoms models and have similar activity against SARS-CoV2. Although widely used in studies of critically ill patients, to date, no study has demonstrated its role on the treatment of high-risk, newly diagnosed patients with COVID-19 and mild symptoms.

Measure: Negativization of COVID-PCR at day 14 Time: day 14Hospitals are recognised to be a major risk for the spread of infections despite the availability of protective measures. Under normal circumstances, staff may acquire and transmit infections, but the health impact of within hospital infection is greatest in vulnerable patients. For the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, like recent outbreaks such as the SARS and Ebola virus, the risk of within hospital spread of infection presents an additional, significant health risk to healthcare workers. Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) teams within hospitals engage in practices that minimise the number of infections acquired within hospital. This includes surveillance of infection spread, and proactively leading on training to clinical and other hospital teams. There is now good evidence that genome sequencing of epidemic viruses such as that which causes COVID-19, together with standard IPC, more effectively reduces within hospital infection rates and may help identify the routes of transmission, than just existing IPC practice. It is proposed to evaluate the benefit of genome sequencing in this context, and whether rapid (24-48h) turnaround on the data to IPC teams has an impact on that level of benefit. The study team will ask participating NHS hospitals to collect IPC information as per usual practice for a short time to establish data for comparison. Where patients are confirmed to have a COVID-19 infection thought to have been transmitted within hospital, their samples will be sequenced with data fed back to hospital teams during the intervention phase. A final phase without the intervention may take place for additional information on standard IPC practice when the COVID-19 outbreak is at a low level nationwide.

As part of the hygienic measures, isolation and reinforcement cleaning strategies have been followed. It is known that special attention and efforts should be applied to protect or reduce transmission in susceptible populations, including the elderly or those with comorbidities.It has also been proposed a semaforization to classify patients with respiratory symptoms based on: Fever (38ºC or more), dry cough, headache, dyspnea, joint pain, muscle pain, sore throat, nose discharge, conjunctivitis, chest pain, diarrhea, anosmia, ageusia. Nitazoxanide has shown to be effective against several viruses, of both types RNA and DNA, including other coronavirus that produced the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). Facing the lack of options against COVID-19 outbreaks for example in health workers, nitazoxanide could contribute to decrease the contagious dissemination of SARS-CoV-2, thus reducing at the same time the Hospital saturation of patients positive to this virus.

Description: Description of the characteristics and evolution of patients with lung cancer who have contracted COVID-19 infection.
Measure: Description of the characteristics of patients Time: From the diagnosis of the COVID until the determination of the blood IgGs, up to 10 weeksScientists and medical workers all around the world were running out of time to manage COVID-19. Several studies have been done to understand the disease and ultimately to find possible treatment. Based on those studies, one of the potential treatment was antibody transfer from recovered COVID-19 patients. Passive antibody transfer was a fast and easy choice. The rational use of antibody from the patient's plasma is a natural neutralizing protein to the cell-infected virus and could possibly slow the active infection down. Investigators initiate an intervention study with purposes to produce quality convalescent plasma from the recovered patients, define the safety of plasma for human use and as an alternative treatment to improve the clinical outcomes of severe COVID-19 patients. The study hypothesis is convalescent plasma is safe and could possibly improve outcome of severe (non-critical) COVID-19 patients. This research will conduct the plaque reduction neutralizing test (PRNT) of recipient blood in vitro. The plasma will be collected in the blood transfusion unit (BTU) in Gatot Soebroto hospital. The storage, testing, transfer, and transfusion of eligible convalescent plasma are the authority of Gatot Soebroto BTU. PRNT and plasma antibody titer measurement from donor plasma will be conducted at Eijkman Institute of Molecular Biology. Investigators enroll approximately 10 patients consecutively, who will be admitted at Gatot Soebroto hospital. Baseline demographic characteristics of samples are recorded. Clinical dan laboratory data will be measured before and after plasma transfusion periodically. The measured variables are pharmacological therapy (antivirus, antibiotics, steroids), invasive oxygen therapy, oxygen index, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, and laboratory parameters such as leukocyte count, blood chemical panel include liver and renal function, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, IL-6 and immunoglobulin titer of the recipient and also chest X-ray evaluation. The potential expected risk of plasma transfusions is transfusion reaction (immunological or non-immune related) and transferred foreign pathogen. Investigator will report and treat all adverse events after plasma transfusion has been done. A severe adverse event (SAE) will also report in a special form to sponsor and data safety monitoring board (DSMB). There is theoretically antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) mechanism from COVID-19 whom will receive plasma transfusion to progress to severe immune response. This preliminary study is supposed to provide supporting data and experience of plasma processing to a larger study in the near future.

Accurate diagnosis of infection, identification of immunity and monitoring the clinical progression of infection are of paramount importance to our response. Widespread population testing has proven difficult in western countries and has been limited by test availability, human resources and long turnaround times (up to 72 hours). This has limited our ability to control the spread of infection and to develop effective clinical pathways to enable early social isolation of infected patients and early treatment for those most at risk. The life sciences industry has responded to the pandemic by developing multiple new in vitro diagnostic tests (IVDs). To leverage the potential clinical benefit of those tests we require efficient but robust clinical evaluation. Therefore, to optimise resource utilisation in this global pandemic, we will conduct a platform adaptive diagnostic study on a national level, utilising a national network of expertise in the evaluation of diagnostic technology. This study will enable the evaluation of multiple assays in three priority areas: 1. Evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of IVDs for active infection with SARS-CoV-2 2. Evaluation of assays monitoring the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection 3. Evaluation of the prognostic value of commercially available tests for predicting prognosis in patients with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Previous studies claims that the proportion of mean platellet volume to platellet which can simply be determined with simple blood tests that are performed at admission, might predict the mortality in ARDS patients. Covid-19 pneumonia has a very similar clinical outlook with ARDS. Therefore we decided to research whether that proportion is legitimate for detecting the progress of Covid-19 pneumonia or not.

Measure: Change in healthcare utilization and hospitalization in tobacco users, marijuana smokers, or vapers Time: Baseline to 4 weeksIn light of the rapidly emerging pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 infections, the global population and health care systems are facing unprecedented challenges through the combination of transmission and the potential for severe disease. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been found with unusual clinical features dominated by substantial alveolar fluid load. It is unknown whether this is primarily caused by endothelial dysfunction leading to capillary leakage or direct virus induced damage. This knowledge gap is significant because the initial balance between fluid management and circulatory support appear to be decisive. On progression of the disease, bacterial superinfection facilitated by inflammation and virus related damage, has been identified as the main factor for patient outcome, but the role of the host versus the environment microbiome remains unclear. The overarching aim of the present research proposal is to improve therapeutic strategies in critically ill patients with ARDS due to SARS-CoV-2 infection by advancing the pathophysiological understanding of this novel disease. This research thus focuses on inflammation, microcirculatory dysfunction and superinfection, aiming to elucidate risk factors (RF) for the development of severe ARDS in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients and contribute to the rationale for therapeutic strategies. The hypotheses are that (I) the primary damage to the lung in SARS-CoV-2 ARDS is mediated through an exaggerated pro-inflammatory response causing primary endothelial dysfunction, and subsequently acting two-fold on the degradation of the lung parenchyma - through the primary cytokine response, and through recruitment of the inflammatory-monocyte-lymphocyte-neutrophil axis. The pronounced inflammation and primary damage to the lung disrupts the pulmonary microbiome, leading secondarily to pulmonary superinfections. (II) Pulmonary bacterial superinfections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 patients. Pathogen colonization main Risk Factor for lower respiratory tract infections. To establish colonization, pathogens have to interact with the local microbiota (a.k.a. microbiome) and certain microbiome profiles will be more resistant to pathogen invasion. Finally, (III) Handheld devices used in clinical routine are a potential reservoir and carrier of both, SARS-CoV-2, as well as bacteria causing nosocomial pneumonia.

Antioxidants, and particularly polyphenols, have shown protection in respiratory pathologies, which is related to the decrease in the severity of the clinical picture and suppression of inflammation. This suppression of inflammation may be related to the inhibition of NF-kB polyphenols, where its activation is related to the stimulation of 150 stimuli including cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, THF-α, GM-CSF, MCP-1), TLRs, among others. There may be other additional mechanisms that can help control virus-induced respiratory pathologies, among which are the regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) associated with tissue destruction caused by the virus and a selective antiviral action can be reported. direct. The standardized P2Et extract obtained from C. spinosa, by the Immunobiology Group of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, is highly antioxidant, decreases lipid peroxidation and tissue damage and induces complete autophagy in stressed or tumor cells. The induction of a full autophagic flow could inhibit the replication of beta-coronaviruses like SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, P2Et can decrease the factors involved in tissue damage by reducing IL-6 and decrease ILC2 cells of the lung in animals with lung metastases (unpublished data). These antecedents suggest that the supplementation of patients with COVID-19 with the extract P2Et, could improve their general condition and decrease the inflammatory mediators and the viral load.

Measure: Description of findings on LUS Time: 3 weeksBy Jan 7, 2020, Chinese scientists had isolated a novel coronavirus, from patients with virus-infected pneumonia. The WHO designated later this virus as COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). This exponential pandemic coronavirus infection is responsible for severe forms in 15 to 20%, for critical ill requiring ventilation in 5% and for mortality in 2%. Algeria was part of the 13 top priority countries identified by WHO based on their direct links and volume of travel to the infected provinces in China. It is known that some predisposing conditions lead to a worse outcome with coronavirus. In China, the overall case-fatality rate was 2.3%, but was higher in patients with diabetes (7.3%). In Italy, the most common comorbidities associated with death from COVID-19 were hypertension (73.8%) and diabetes (33.9%). The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests diabetes is the most common comorbidity in COVID-19 cases. In the largest cohort NHS England study, death from COVID-19 was strongly associated with uncontrolled diabetes (after full adjustment, HR 2.36). The West Algerian CORODIAB-13 study aims is (1) to assess the prevalence of diabetes among hospitalized patients with Covid-19, (2) to describe the phenotypic characteristics of patients with diabetes, and (3) to identify the parameters specific to the diabetic which are associated with severe forms. In the future, this study will provide answers for two main questions 1. Why diabetics are more at risk of developing Covid-19 infection? 2. Why diabetics are at high risk of developing severe forms?

In both cases, the causal link is coronavirus within the host response. The rationale of use of deep yoga breathing as adjuvant treatment to COVID-19 disease , is linked to the mechanical action to stimulate the vagus nerve through scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscles function of which the continuity of action bring to modulate upto suppress, the inflammatory reflex and pro-inflammatory cytokines overproduction and contextual lowering of the sympathetic stress response as a first cause of sleep and late mental disorders which can increase the annual suicide rate. An easily breathing medical Yoga protocol has been developed to test a cost-effective care provision, training, contact tracing and mass efficacy testing.

Measure: Miscarriage Time: 14 weeksAt the time of writing (3/4/2020), close to a million people have been infected by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus around the world. The severe clinical condition that leads to deaths is now called CoVID-19. Currently, there are no effective treatments for the early or late stages of this illness. Governments worldwide have undertaken dramatic interventions to try and reduce the rate of spread of this deadly coronavirus. Early data from multiple studies in China, where the virus originated, show that severe cases of CoVID-19 are not as prevalent in patients with chronic lung diseases as expected. This data has been confirmed by the Italian physicians. The investigators think that the widespread use of inhaled corticosteroids reduces the risk of CoVID-19 pneumonia in patients with chronic lung disease. Early microbiological data also shows that these corticosteroids are effective at slowing down the rate of coronavirus replication on lung cells. Inhaled corticosteroids are widely used to manage common lung conditions, such as asthma. This type of medicine is among the top 3 most common medication prescribed around the world. Their safety is well understood, and their potential side effects are mild and reversible. The investigators propose to test this idea that, in participants early in the course of CoVID-19 illness, daily high dose inhaled corticosteroids for 28 days, will reduce the chances of severe respiratory illness needing hospitalisation. We will also study the effect of this inhaled therapy on symptoms and viral load.

Measure: Clinical status assessed by 7-category ordinal scale Time: days 7, 14, and 28Description: The NEW score has demonstrated an ability to discriminate patients at risk of poor outcomes. This score is based on 7 clinical parameters (respiration rate, oxygen saturation, any supplemental oxygen, temperature, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, level of consciousness). The range of NEW score is from zero to 23. Higher scores of NEWS mean the higher risk of poor outcomes. The NEW Score is being used as an efficacy measure.
Measure: Change in National Early Warning Score (NEWS) Time: Day 1 trough Day 28The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which originated in Wuhan, China, has become a major concern all over the world. Convalescent plasma or immunoglobulins have been used as a last resort to improve the survival rate of patients with SARS whose condition continued to deteriorate despite treatment with pulsed methylprednisolone. Moreover, several studies showed a shorter hospital stay and lower mortality in patients treated with convalescent plasma than those who were not treated with convalescent plasma. Evidence shows that convalescent plasma from patients who have recovered from viral infections can be used effectively as a treatment of patients with active disease. The use of solutions enriched of antiviral antibodies has several important advantages over the convalescent plasma including the high level of neutralizing antibodies supplied. Moreover, plasma-exchange is expensive and requires large volumes of substitution fluid With either albumin or fresh frozen plasma, increasing the risk of cardiovascular instability in the plasma donor and in the recipient, which can be detrimental in a critically ill patient with COVID 19 pneumonia. The use of plasma as a substitution fluid further increases treatment costs and is associated with risk of infections, allergic reactions and citrate-induced hypocalcemia. Albumin is better tolerated and less expensive, but exchanges using albumin solutions increase the risk of bleeding because of progressive coagulation factor depletion. The aforementioned limitations of plasma therapy can be in part overcome by using selective apheresis methods, such as double-filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP)3. During DFPP, plasma is separated from cellular components by a plasma filter, and is then allowed to pass through a fractionator filter. Depending on the membrane cut-off, the fractionator filter retains larger molecules and returns fluid along with smaller molecules to the circulation. Thus, the selection of a membrane with an appropriate sieving coefficient for IgG allows to efficiently clear autoantibodies in patients with antibody-mediated diseases (e.g., macroglobulinemia, myasthenia gravis and rheumatoid arthritis) with negligible fluid losses and limited removal of albumin and coagulation factors1. In patients with severe membranous nephropathy and high titer of autoreactive, nephritogenic antibodies against the podocyte-expressed M type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), DFPP accelerated anti PLA2R depletion4. Measurement of the antibody titer in treated patient and recovered fluid showed that antibody removal was extremely effective and that large part of antibodies was removed during the first DFPP procedure. This therapeutic regimen was safe and well tolerated and easy to apply4. In an ongoing pilot study we found that the same methodological approach can be used to remove circulating antibodies from patients who recovered from COVID 19 and to infuse these antibodies in patients with active viral infection. Treatment was well tolerated and preliminary findings are encouraging. Thus, in this novel pilot study we aim to explore whether the infusion of antibodies obtained with one single DFPP procedure from voluntary convalescent donors could offer an effective and safe therapeutic option for patients with earlier stages of coronavirus (COVID-19) pneumonia requiring oxygen supply without mechanical ventilation.

Description: The QT interval measurement will be performed on the available 12-lead ECG from the medical record. The QT interval will be measured according to the recommendations of the scientific societies of cardiology: it is considered from the beginning of the activation of the ventricular myocardium and the end of its repolarization, which are represented in the ECG respectively by the beginning of the QRS and the end of the T wave. Ideally, the QT interval should be measured in Q-wave leads in DII and V5. An average value of 3 heart cycles (beats) should be recorded. Two researchers to control inter-observer variability will perform the measurement.
Measure: Assessing the QT and QTc interval in patients admitted to intensive care units for COVID-19 infection Time: through study completion, an average of 1 yearDescription: To assess the incidence of arrhythmias in critically ill patients with COVID-19 infection admitted to critical patient units.

Multiple organ dysfunction and a particularly progressive respiratory insufficiency along with a widespread coagulopathy presumed to be due to infection-associated inflammation and the resulting cytokine storm, are strongly associated with high mortality rates. In this study, the association between thrombosis risk and clinical presentation of Covid-19 is investigated.
Description: from admission to discharge expressed in days
Measure: length of hospital stay Time: 2 monthsAs dentists begin reopening their practices during a global pandemic, the risk of COVID-19 infection that dentists face in providing dental care remains unknown. Estimating the occupational risk of COVID-19, and producing evidence on the types of infection control practices and dental practices that may affect COVID-19 risk, is therefore imperative. The goal of the proposed study is to understand U.S.-based dentists' health and dental-practice reactions to COVID-19. To estimate this, U.S-based dentists will be surveyed monthly. These findings could be used to describe the prevalence and incidence of COVID-19 among dentists, determine what infection control steps dentists take over time, and estimate whether infection control adherence in dental practice is related to COVID-19 incidence.

Measure: Dentists' use of personal protective equipment Time: 12 monthsThe medical and paramedical staff of the front-line services are potentially exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, despite the application of standard protective measures, it is possible that a certain number of these personnel have already contracted SARS-CoV-2, including in its asymptomatic form. Serological testing in this context would be useful for deploying immune healthcare workers as to limit the risk of viral infection and transmission. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to prove that the serological response entails the production of neutralizing antibodies.
Patients with mild and severe COVID 19 will be randomized 1:1 into two groups: experimental, which will get bromhexine and spironolactone, and control. Patients will get investigated therapy for ten days. Change in clinical assessment score COVID 19 (CAS COVID 19) between baseline and 12th day will be evaluated as a primary endpoint. Forty-five-day risk of death or mechanical ventilation will also be assessed.

Measure: Hospital length of stay Time: up to 45 daysSince the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of chest computed tomography (CT) in detecting signs of viral pneumonia has become clear from the literature. However, the increased patient flow creates an additional pressure on CT centers. We believe, the use of chest magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help to test patients for CОVID-19 when CT scan is not available. Lung MRI may be useful in routing a patient in a difficult epidemiological situation.

Measure: blood gases Time: at the admission time and 24th hourVarious guidelines for endotracheal intubation (insertion of breathing tube for mechanical ventilation) of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients recommend the use of videolaryngoscope (medical device used for intubation that has a camera to visualize the vocal cords between which the breathing tube will pass) over direct laryngoscope (conventionally-used medical device for intubation that depends on anesthetist's direct visualization of vocal cords). The reasons for this recommendation are to maximize the distance between the medical personnel and the patient's face during intubation to decrease the risk of viral particles transmission and to improve intubation success. For patients infected with COVID-19, Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) is recommended as an alternative to N95 masks during aerosol-generating procedures such as intubation because N95 masks may not fully protect medical personnel from viral transmission during intubation. There is no evidence to suggest that videolaryngoscope (VL) is superior to direct laryngoscope (DL) for intubation when PAPR is donned. The purpose of this study is to determine if McGrath VL is superior to DL for intubation when the anesthetist is wearing a PAPR. The investigators' hypothesis is that McGrath VL will decrease the time to intubation by 20 seconds and more compared to DL when PAPR is donned. The investigators also hope to learn if there is any difference in the difficulties encountered between the use of VL and DL.

The higher the scale, the more difficulty the intubation process. To be assessed via a retrospective playback of the video-recording of the intubation process and also by interviewing the anesthetist who carried out the intubation.

Measure: Incidence of inability to intubate despite all efforts by the anesthetist with McGrath videolaryngoscope versus direct laryngoscope Time: During the intubation processDisproportionate impact of COVID-19 in patients with obesity is now well established. Obesity is associated with severe forms of COVID-19 and may be a risk factor of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Obesity is associated with COVID-19 related hospital death in a large United Kingdom cohort study. However, there is a gap of knowledge on assessment of outcomes such as severity of Acute Respiratory Distress syndrome (ARDS), duration of hospitalisation and mortality in ICU. Moreover, an obesity survival paradox has been observed in patients with ARDS. This raises the question whether the obesity paradox has been broken by COVID-19. The investigators aim to explore risk factors of in-ICU death for patient with COVID-19, including obesity and other chronic diseases and to describe the clinical course and outcomes, including the management of acute respiratory failure and other intensive care management.

The team wishes to include approximately 1000 subjects in this study. The health crisis through containment has also created unprecedented environmental conditions with the very clear decrease in economic activities and a consequent decrease in exposure to the main air pollutants. The aim is therefore to carry out a case-control study in which each subject will be his or her own control in unexposed condition (to PM2.5, PM10, NO...) then exposed (after the recovery of economic activity and the usual levels of air pollutants) and to measure the impact of these pollutants on the immune system and epigenetic markers taking into account seasonality. The occurrence of infectious, cardiovascular, allergic and autoimmune events will then be measured according to the immunological profiles measured at inclusion.

Measure: mortality Time: up to 28 daysDescription: Patients' age, gender, BMI, medical history
Measure: demographic characteristics Time: up to 28 daysIn December 2019, a group of patients with pneumonia of unknown cause was linked to a wholesale seafood market in Wuhan, China. The genetic analysis of samples from the lower respiratory tract of these patients indicated a new coronavirus as the causative agent, which was named SARS-CoV-2. The virus spread rapidly to more than 45 countries, including Brazil, causing an international alarm. However, in spite of its epidemiological magnitude, so far, there is no antiviral treatment or vaccine approved for the treatment of this infection. With about 15% to 20% of SARS-CoV-2 patients suffering from serious illnesses and overburdened hospitals, therapeutic options are desperately needed. So, instead of creating compounds from scratch that can take years to develop and test, researchers and public health agencies have sought to redirect drugs already approved for other diseases and known to be widely safe. In this context, the analysis of the international literature shows the existence of an in vitro antiviral activity of ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2. However, there are no studies that have evaluated its clinical effectiveness in patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Therefore, and considering this knowledge gap, the present study aims to determine the clinical efficacy and safety of different doses of ivermectin in patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Plasma is the liquid part of blood that is left when all the blood cells have been removed. Convalescent means it is taken from people who were infected with COVID-19 and recovered. The use of this blood product to treat COVID-19 is investigational, which means the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not yet approved it to be sold commercially. This is a human blood product collected by licensed blood banks. Donors of COVID-19 convalescent plasma must meet all standard blood donor criteria and must also meet all criteria set by the FDA for being a donor of COVID-19 convalescent plasma. A total of 500 patients will take part in the study at 8 hospitals within Beaumont. Similar studies are being done at other centers, but they are not directly related to this study. Participants will be assigned to a study group depending on how sick they are. - Group A: Those who require more than 6 liters (L) of supplemental oxygen but are not on a ventilator - Group B: Those who require a ventilator to preserve their life. Both groups will receive one unit (approximately 200ml or just under 1 cup) of COVID convalescent plasma. The transfusion will be given over about 30 minutes via an IV. Blood samples will be taken prior to and one hour after the transfusion to measure participant antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and a nasopharyngeal swab (deep in the nostril) will be taken to test for presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. One hour after the transfusion a blood sample will be taken to measure antibody levels to determine if the plasma caused the antibody level to rise. Similarly, blood samples will be taken to measure antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and a nasopharyngeal swab will be taken to test for presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus 1, 3 and every 7 days after the transfusion while the participant is in the hospital The participant's final health status will be determined on day 28. Hospital records will be monitored for 90 days after discharge to determine if the participant is readmitted to the hospital.

On March 2020, a dramatic increase in the number of COVID-19 cases were diagnosed in Jerusalem. RedHill Biopharma, Ltd. offered opaganib under compassionate use for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Eligible patients were those hospitalized with COVID-19 confirmed by a reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction assay. Patients received opaganib and Standard of Care. For the purpose of this study, the opaganib and Standard of Care patient group was compared to a group of patients that received only Standard of Care. Opaganib is an investigational drug under development and not approved for commercial distribution.
At the end of December of 2019, a series of patients in Wuhan, China were struck with a mysterious respiratory infection. These isolated events have rapidly grown into a deadly, global pandemic. This pandemic is caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which results in the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). For individuals infected with COVID-19, approximately 30% of the hospitalized cases are associated with cardiovascular complications. Data are emerging that individuals with pre-exiting conditions (like hypertension, diabetes, cancer, or medical issues related to the immune system) are most susceptible to complications related to COVID-19. Furthermore, individuals of certain racial and ethnic backgrounds (e.g. African American and Hispanic) are at a higher risk of death from COVID-19. Despite these emerging observations, it remains unclear who will develop the cardiovascular complications (acute myocardial injury with evidence of a myocarditis-like picture and cardiogenic shock) and what the long term sequelae of this disease will be for survivors of this infection after hospitalization. Thus, the goals of this project are to better understand the epidemiology of cardiac injury in acutely ill COVID-19 patients through deep cardiac phenotyping and identify the molecular profile of individuals most susceptible to cardiac injury from COVID-19.

Measure: Prevalence of molecular and genetic immune system abnormalities Time: Up to 4 weeksStem cell therapy has emerged as a revolutionary treatment for diseases that were considered untreatable only a few years ago. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) have been shown to repair damaged liver, kidney, heart, pancreas, skin, cartilage, and cornea in animal models and several human trials. In addition to cellular replacement through regeneration, UCMSCs mediate through paracrine signaling pathways resulting in immune modulation. Clinical manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), are believed to arise from septic shock and cytokine storm that cause acute respiratory dysfunction and acute cardiac injury. There is presently no cure for the COVID-19 viral disease; however, multi-treatment strategies are being examined. During the past two months, four reports were published that suggest, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), owing to their powerful immunomodulatory ability, may prevent the cytokine storm and thus reduce the COVID-19 related morbidity. All studies reported that COVID-19 patients responded favorably to MSCs therapy. These reports, taken together with the previous successes of stem cell therapy in animal models, the investigators, a seven-institution consortium, propose to explore the efficacy of UCMSC treatment in COVID-19 patients at Jinnah hospital, Lahore. The investigators propose to administer UCMSCs in patients with acute pulmonary inflammation due to COVID-19 infection with moderate to severe symptoms. In the first cohort of 15 patients, UCMSCs will be administered with three intravenous infusions of 500,000 UCMSCs per Kg body weight each on days 1, 3, and 5. The second group of five patients serving as control will only receive standard treatment. During the 30-day post-infusion period, a battery of tests will be performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the UCMSCs treatment. In parallel, the investigators propose a comparative study to determine COVID-19 viral count by quantitative real-time PCR and through viral coat protein ELISA, developed in the investigator advisor lab (Dr. Tauseef Butt, Progenra Inc. Philadelphia, USA) with the ultimate objective to locally developing a rapid diagnostic assay.

Measure: Primary Outcome Measures Time: Baseline up to Week 52The 2019-2020 COVID-19 pandemic is the largest outbreak in recent history. It is not known how long after someone gets sick with COVID-19 and recovers that they can still infect other people. It is also not known how quickly people make antibodies against the virus, which help clear infection from the body. The investigators will enroll 250 people who had COVID-19 based on lab testing to participate. Participants will complete a survey at enrollment. The investigators will also collect blood, nose swab, saliva, stool, semen, and breast milk to test for the virus. The investigators will ask participants to complete a survey and give specimens up to 8 times over 6 months. This information will be used to study how long the virus can live in different parts of the body, antibody development, and post-infectious complications. The investigators hope that this information will allow medical and public health providers to make recommendations to better care for patients in the convalescent phase of COVID-19 infection.

Time: through study completion, an average of 4 hoursCoronavirus disease 2019 (abbreviated "COVID- 19") is a pandemic respiratory disease that is caused by a novel coronavirus and was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The disease is highly infectious, and its main clinical symptoms include fever, dry cough, fatigue, myalgia, and dyspnoea.1 In China, 18.5% of the patients with COVID-19 developed to the severe stage, which is characterized by acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, difficult-to-tackle metabolic acidosis, and bleeding and coagulation dysfunction. After China, COVID-19 spread across the world and many governments implemented unprecedented measures like suspension of public transportation, the closing of public spaces, close management of communities, and isolation and care for infected people and suspected cases. The Malaysian government had enforced Movement Control Order (MCO) from 18th March to 4th May 2020 and henceforth Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) until 9th June 2020. The battle against COVID-19 is still continuing in Malaysia and all over the world. Due to the CMO and CMCO in the country, public and private universities have activated the e-learning mode for classes and as the government ordered, universities are closed and no face-to-face activities allowed. This has forced students of all disciplines including dentistry to stay at home which are wide-spread across Malaysia and shift to e- learning mode. To guarantee the final success for fight against COVID-19, regardless of their education status, students' adherence to these control measures are essential, which is largely affected by their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards COVID-19 in accordance with KAP theory. Once the restrictions are eased students have to come back and resume their clinical work in the campus. Hence, in this study we assessed the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) towards COVID-19 and the students preference for online learning.

Measure: Time fever resolution Time: [ Time Frame: 36 days ]SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 is representing the major global burden that implicated more than 10 million infected cases and 500 thousand deaths worldwide. The prevalence of this pandemic disease is expected to rise every day. The challenge is to control its rapid spread meanwhile looking for a specific treatment to improve patient outcomes. Hesperidin is a classical herbal medicine used worldwide for a long time with an excellent safety profile. Hesperidin is a well-known herbal medication used as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Available shreds of evidence support the promising use of hesperidin in prophylaxis and treatment of COVID 19. Herein, we discuss the possible prophylactic and treatment mechanisms of hesperidin based on previous and recent findings. Hesperidin can block coronavirus from entering host cells through ACE2 receptors which can prevent the infection. Anti-viral activity of hesperidin might constitute a treatment option for COVID-19 through improving host cellular immunity against infection and its good anti-inflammatory activity may help in controlling cytokine storm. Hesperidin mixture with diosmin co-administrated with heparin protect against venous thromboembolism which may prevent disease progression. Based on that, hesperidin might be used as a meaningful prophylactic agent and a promising adjuvant treatment option against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

A few papers to date have been reported of myocarditis, ventricular arrhythmias, post-inflammatory changes in the lung and liver, as well as ischemic changes in the brain, diseases of skeletal muscle, which may have adverse prognostic effects. Due to the extent of the pandemic, the severity of the complications and the expected high complications' prevalence in the early post-recovery period, a study was designed to determine the extent of the problem of early complications after COVID-19. Complex cardiological, pulmonary, neurological and hepatological diagnostics are planned, including laboratory, imaging and functional tests. The results obtained, in addition to determining the scale of the problem, will allow the selection of studies that optimally identify patients with early complications. The purpose of this procedure is to enable rapid treatment of diseases that are complications of SARS-COV-2 infection. An additional aspect raised in the project will be the issue of psychiatric disorders (anxiety, depression, post traumatic disorders). The main three purposes of the study include: 1. the assessment of prevalence of particular complications after COVID-19. 2. identification of the demographic and clinical risk factors of COVID-19 complications 3. determining the diagnostic tests which are sufficient to detect early complications of COVID-19
Description: Complications include pulmonary, cardio-vascular, neurological, hepatologic and psychiatric disordes that might be linked to the COVID-19. The diagnostic tests: blood tests, transthoracic echocardiography, spirometry, high-resolution computed tomography, neurological examination, liver ultrasonography and elastography, vasular ultrasonography (veins and arteries), psychiatric questionnairies

Their absence from work dramatically limits the ability to contain the disease. There is currently no vaccine to prevent the disease. Since the introduction to the vaccination schedule of the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) live attenuated vaccine directed towards tuberculosis prevention, a decrease in infant mortality has been reported, not related only to tuberculosis. BCG vaccine has been hypothesized to have a non-specific role towards other unrelated pathogens such as viruses that cause airway disease, with reduced morbidity and mortality. In murine as well as in human models it has been shown to decrease the incidence of acute respiratory influenza infections. Likewise, in countries with a high endemicity for tuberculosis, the BCG vaccine reduces the incidence of respiratory infections by up to 80% . In healthy subjects, the BCG vaccine increases the production of proinflammatory cytokines in monocytes. Likewise, it increases the epigenetic response, causing an increase in the transcription of genes important in the antimicrobial response, as well as an improvement in cellular function. This is the first national clinical trial to evaluate prospectively the effect that the BCG vaccine offers towards the prevention and reduction of severity in cases of COVID-19.

Up to approximately 80 subjects of all ages with either a suspected or lab-confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 will take part in this research.
Description: Detection versus No Detection of the virus and indicate which viral protein antigens are most useful for serological testing.
Measure: Detection Test of COVID-19 Time: through study completion, an average of 1 yearIn January 2020, the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus was identified in China. The disease caused by this coronavirus was named COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO). Since March 11, 2020, the WHO has described the global situation of COVID-19 as a pandemic. In Côte d'Ivoire, as in other African countries, the number of cases is increasing exponentially. Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more severe pathologies. COVID-19 can result in fever or a feeling of fever (chills, hot-cold), cough, headache, aches and pains, unusual tiredness, sudden loss of smell, total disappearance of taste, or diarrhea. In severe forms, respiratory difficulties can lead to hospitalization in intensive care or even death. Numerous studies are currently being conducted around the world to seek effective treatment, but few of them have started specifically in Africa. Moreover, most of these studies are using a single drug to control the infection, whether these are repositioned drugs, i.e. already being used for other diseases, or other newer drugs. Currently in Côte d'Ivoire, the preferred treatment for COVID-19 is an antiviral: lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r), usually directed against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Since the number of viruses (viral load) is high in the respiratory tract during COVID-19 infection, we propose in INTENSE-COV (ICOV) clinical trial to study whether the combination of two drugs is more effective than taking a single drug on reducing the viral load in the respiratory tract but also on reducing inflammation. These drugs include the LPV/r already in use in Côte d'Ivoire as well as an antihypertensive drug - telmisartan, and a drug that lowers blood cholesterol - atorvastatin. All three have been known for a long time and have been shown to be effective against other viruses. In addition, they are generic, inexpensive and readily available in all countries. The objectives of the ICOV study are therefore to improve viral eradication from the patient's body and respiratory tract, to reduce inflammation, to improve more rapidly the patient's state of health and to reduce the risk of transmission of the virus to others. To participate in ICOV, patients must be over 18 years of age, have a COVID-19 infection confirmed by a specific test, have clinical manifestations of the infection, and have signed an informed consent. They will then be randomized into 3 treatment groups to ensure the robustness of the study results. The reference group will be treated with LPV/r, according to current recommendations in Côte d'Ivoire. The other 2 groups will be treated with LPV/r + telmisartan and LPV/r + atorvastatin respectively. The treatment will last 10 days and patients will be followed for a total of 28 days.

In the framework of a pandemic, a diagnosis is a key tool in containing and monitoring disease outbreaks. In this pandemic, the qPCR technique has become vitally important in virus detection, due to its wide detection and quantification range, and the high levels of sensitivity and specificity it presents. The methodology for diagnosing coronavirus by qPCR requires the prior extraction of viral genetic material, which is carried out using commercial kits created for this purpose. Currently, the high demand for supplies to carry out this technique has generated reagent shortage problems, including commercial kits for the extraction of viral genetic material. This research aims to evaluate a solution called AAA-Safe and its method, developed to optimize the diagnostic process, eliminating and replacing the viral RNA extraction stage. We hope that this alternative can be implemented in any molecular diagnostic laboratory, in order to speed up the delivery of a fast and safe diagnosis.

Measure: Adverse Events Time: up to 56 daysCoronavirus infection, also known as COVID-19, has become a global pandemic with over 3 million cases and 250,000 deaths worldwide. Coronaviruses (CoV) belong to a family of viruses that predominately infect mammals and birds, affecting their lungs, intestinal tract, liver and nervous systems. Prior to the discovery of the current novel coronavirus strain (SARS-CoV-2), there were six different strains that are known to infect humans, which includes the virus that caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) pandemic in 2002. In humans, the majority of severe illness from SARs and COVID-19 is due to inflammation of the lungs and pneumonia. Pregnancy poses a significantly increased risk of viral pneumonia and during SARS more pregnant women required intensive care and breathing support, and the proportion of deaths was higher when compared to non-pregnant adults. Furthermore, kidney failure and development of abnormal blood clotting disorders, which occurs during severe infection, is more common in pregnancy and the associated changes in blood vessels extend to the placentas of infected pregnant women, thus potentially affecting the fetus. This makes pregnant women affected by the virus at high risk of developing severe complications. Fortunately, there have been a number of biomarkers identified that are associated with illness severity. These include, specialised white blood cells, blood clotting cells and constituents, as well as other measures of heart and kidney function. We propose that these biomarkers are important correlates of clinical disease severity and prognosis in pregnant and postnatal women. This knowledge has the potential to help clinicians during this pandemic to better manage and care for their patients.

However, only approximately 20% of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients required intensive on sub-intensice medical care and the remained experience mild or subclinical form of the disease that did not require hospital admission and a relatively high percentage (40 to 45%) remained asymptomatic. Understanding the occurrence of SARS-CoV-2-like infectious in a large non-hospitalized population, when the epidemic peak was occurring in Italy, is of paramount importance but data are scarce. The goal of this research project is to estimate the number of suspected cases of COVID-19 and to investigate the role of the potential factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in a large Italian sample of respondents living in Italy during the lockdown (started in Italy on 9 March 2020). EPICOVID19 is an Italian countrywide self-administered cross-sectional web-based survey on adult volunteers launched on April 13, 2020. The on-line questionnaire has been developed starting from the available literature and implemented using an open source platform focusing on beahvioural and clinical features of participants.
Description: Measured by using answers on the Clinical evaluation section of the questionnaire: Fever > 37.5 °C for at least 3 consecutive days; cough; sore throat/rhinorrea; headache; myalgia; olfactory/taste disorders; shortness of breath; chest pain; tachycardia; gastrointestinal disorders; conjunctivitis. Variables on symptomatology will be created by considering each symtom singularly and by combining them using a priori definition (e.g. WHO) and a posteriori approach (based on EPICOVID19 data). Logistic regression models will be applied to assess the measurements of association between exposures of interest and COVID-19-like symptoms by estimating the aOR and 95%CI.

Study reports success of physiotherapy in CoViD-19 positive SSv with multiple comorbidities. Methods: This clinical controlled study involve a minimum of 30 SSv and 30 age and sex-matched non-stroke individuals with multiple comorbidities with CoViD-19 status confirmed using Real-Time Quantitative-Polymerase Chain Reaction. The Cycle Threshold (CT) and nucleic acid content in the test sample (NA) will be recorded from the virology test results. Their exercise endurance, exercise capacities and quality of life will be assessed using 3-minutes' walk test and 3-meters test and Stroke Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire. Measurements will be taken at every three days intervals from admission to discharge from hospital-isolation. They will receive their normal treatments for CoViD-19 in addition to daily Physiotherapy for the SSv delivered through E-Platform. the Zoom and the WhatsApp video platforms will be used for the interactions between the physiotherapists and the participants. A pre-tested exercise protocol for stroke patients developed by the Stroke and Nervous System Disorders research group of the University of Lagos, Nigeria will be used for the E-exercises. The exercise package will be loaded into the phones of the participants at hospital admission. The Physiotherapists will lead in the exercises through video interaction will the participants watches the video programme. Their risks for respiratory complications (RC), ventilation (RV) and death (RD) will be analysed. Data will be analysed using independent t-test, Analysis of Co-Variance, and multivariate retrogression, survival analyses, Friedman Analysis of Variance and MannWithney U test (95% Confident Interval). Anticipated Outcomes: It is anticipated that the outcome of this study will provide evidence for inclusion of Physiotherapy in the acute management of individuals tested positive for CoViD-19 most important for the stroke survivors tested positive for CoViD-19 at acute stage to reduce the odds of developing complications expedite discharge and reduce odd of death.

The most standard diagnostic method is reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on a nasopharyngeal and/or an oropharyngeal swab. The high occurrence of false-negative results due to the non-presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the oropharyngeal environment renders this sampling method not ideal. Therefore, a new sampling device is desirable. This proof-of-principle study investigates the possibility to train machine-learning classifiers with an electronic nose (Aeonose) to differentiate between COVID-19 positive- and negative persons based on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) analysis. Methods: between April and June 2020, participants were invited for breath analysis when a swab for RT-PCR was collected. If the RT-PCR resulted negative, presence of SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies was checked to confirm the negative result. All participants breathed through the Aeonose for five minutes. This device contains metal-oxide sensors that change in conductivity upon reaction with VOCs in exhaled breath. These conductivity changes are input data for machine-learning and used for pattern recognition. The result is a value between -1 and +1, indicating the infection probability.
Description: Ability of the eNose to distinguish COVID-19 positive from COVID-19 negative persons based on VOC patterns.
Measure: COVID 19 positive vs negative Time: 3 monthsCorona Virus Disease (COVID-19), spread worldwide and has become an emergency of major international concern. In March 2020, the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. Accurate and fast diagnosis is crucial in managing the pandemic. Current diagnostic approaches raise several difficulties: they are time-consuming, expensive, invasive, and most important lacking high sensitivity. The gold standard diagnostic test for COVID-19, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), is highly dependent on adequate deep sampling of the swab in the naso- and oropharynx. A new diagnostic test that can correctly and rapidly identify infected patients and asymptomatic carriers is urgently required to prevent further virus transmission and thus reduce mortality rates. Aim: This proof-of-principle study aims to investigate if an electronic nose (Aeonose) can distinguish individuals with antibodies from individuals without antibodies against COVID-19 based on analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Methods: between April and July 2020, persons undergoing RT-PCR and a serology test for COVID-19 were recruited at Maastricht UMC+ for breath analysis. All participants had to breathe through the Aeonose for five consecutive minutes. The VOC pattern in their exhaled breath was then linked to the matching RT-PCR and serological test results.
Description: Ability of the electronic nose (Aeonose) to distinguish individuals with antibodies from individuals without antibodies against COVID-19 based on analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Measure: COVID-19 antibodies vs COVID-19 negative Time: 3 monthsCOVID-19 is a disease with high rate of morbidity if symptomatic. There is a great need of treatments to decrease the severity. The vast majority of patients needing intensive care are men, and this may be due to the androgens, either by regulation of TMPRSS2, necessary for virus internalization, or other mechanisms. Enzalutamide is an antiandrogen inhibiting the expression of androgen regulated proteins, such as TMPRSS2. The aim of this trial is to evaluate a possible beneficial effect of short-term enzalutamide treatment of COVID-19 patients.

The primary aim of the study is to demonstrate a reduction in 'silent' seroconversion rates, consistent with asymptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2, in a young healthy adult population following 24 weeks of taking oral vitamin D supplemented at a dose of 1000 I.U. daily, versus matching placebo. The secondary aims of this study are to explore: 1. Any effect on symptomatic illness. 2. The background 'point' prevalence and subsequent rate of increase in seropositivity for SARS-CoV-2 in healthy young adults. 3. The individual reductions in seropositivity to SARS-CoV-2 over time, and changes in seropositivity in a defined young adult population over time. 4. Where salivary Immunoglobulin A (IgA) may be used to provide an alternative/ complementary serological method 5. The effect (if any) of vitamin D supplementation on seroconversion rates stratified by: i) level of baseline vitamin D 'deficiency/ insufficiency/ sufficiency' status; ii) extent of BMI-defined normal/overweight/obesity cut-offs and iii) gender.

Measure: Change in seroconversion rate Time: 24 weeksCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This syndrome has been associated with high mortality, estimated to be about 1.7% of all infected in the US, though in those who develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the context of the infection, mortality rates appear to be much higher, perhaps up to 70%. To avoid transmission of the virus, patient isolation has become the standard of care, with many hospitals eliminating visitors of any type, and particularly eliminating visitation to patients infected with COVID-19. These necessary, but restrictive, measures add stress to the ICU and particularly to the family members who are not only left with fear, but also many unanswered questions. In contrast to the Society of Critical Care Guidelines (SCCM) which recommend family engagement in the ICU and recent data from this study team which suggests engaging families in end-of-life situations reduces symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in family members, family members are now unable to say good-bye and unable to provide support to their loved-one throughout the process of the patients' ICU stay. The study hypothesizes is that these restrictive visiting regulations will increase rates of Post-intensive care syndrome- family (PICS-F) which includes symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety and aim to evaluate for factors that either exacerbate these symptoms or protect from them.

Tocilizumab (TCZ) is an anti-human IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody that inhibits signal transduction by binding sIL-6R and mIL-6R. The study has a cohort multiple Randomized Controlled Trials (cmRCT) design. Randomization will occur prior to offering Dexamethasone alone or Dexamethasone +Tocilizumab administration to patients enrolled in the CORIMUNO-19 cohort. Tocilizumab will be administered to consenting adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 either diagnosed with moderate or severe pneumonia requiring no mechanical ventilation or critical pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation. Patients who will chose not to receive Tocilizumab will receive standard of cares. Outcomes of Tocilizumab-treated patients will be compared with outcomes of standard of care (including Dexamethasone) treated patients

In vitro studies showed an antiviral effect of NO against SARS-coronavirus. The optimal therapeutic regimen of NO gas in spontaneously breathing hypoxemic patients with COVID-19 is not known. We hypothesize that high concentration inhaled NO with an adjunct of continuous low dose administration between the high concentration treatments can be safely administered in hypoxemic COVID-19 patients compared to the high dose treatment alone. Prolonged administration of NO gas may benefit the patients in terms of the severity of the clinical course and time to recovery. Together with a clinical effect on ventilation-perfusion matching, a prolonged regimen would allow also an increase in antiviral activity (dose and time-dependent).

Exceptional measures have been taken by public authorities worldwide in order to slow the spread of the virus and prevent healthcare systems from becoming overloaded. In France, a national lockdown has been established during approximately 2 months to increase social distancing and restrict population movements. Hospital routine care appointments have been cancelled, in order to reallocate medical resources towards COVID-19 units and limit contacts between patients within hospitals or waiting rooms. While the virus itself, the disease and potential treatments are currently extensively studied, little data are available on the effect of these public health decisions on the management of a chronic condition such as diabetes. The French regional CONFI-DIAB study aims at assessing the collateral impact of routine care cancellation during the national lockdown due to COVID-19 in patients with a chronic condition such as diabetes. Special attention will be given to metabolic control and access to health care. This cross-sectional study should provide information on the consequences of a global lockdown and the associated routine care cancellation on the management of diabetes, and inform future decision making in the event of a new pandemic.

Time: 6 weeks period following the end of the lockdownThe cytokine storms mediated by over production of proinflammatory cytokines have been observed in a large population of critically ill patients infected with COVID-19. Patients diagnosed with cytokine storms progress to cardiovascular collapse, multiple organ dysfunction and death rapidly. Therefore, early identification, treatment and prevention of the cytokine storms are of crucial importance for the patients. Immuomedulator such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) antagonist, emerged as an alternative treatment for COVID-19 patients with a risk of cytokine storms recently. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-IL6 alone vs anti-IL6 corticosteroid combination in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia

Chitosan is a natural cationic polymer derived from chitin, with important characteristics such as being biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, and presenting antimicrobial activity. This polymer shows virucidal activity in several types of viruses, including other coronavirus serotypes, given the attractive factor of its cationic charge for negative charges. The effectiveness of a novel individual protection semi facial respirator (called VESTA) will be investigated, compared to a conventional N95 respirator. The respirators will be tested in healthcare professionals working in hospital environments and the effectiveness will be attributed to the lower incidence rate of infection by the SARS-CoV-2. The effectiveness of respirators will also be attributed to the ability to filter these viruses after use by healthcare professionals exposed to potentially contaminated environments. The study will be carried out in two stages: i) Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial with reduced sample and ii) Controlled Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT). This RCT will be conducted with healthcare professionals who have contact with environments/patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 in hospital sectors with greater vulnerability to infection (urgency, emergency and intensive care units). The pilot trial will be conducted initially with a group of fifty participants (n = 25 in each group) for initial investigation of the potential for efficacy with the use of the respirators (VESTA and conventional N95) in two sectors (emergency and ICU) of a Hospital. The RCT will consist of two parallel groups: (1) Experimental Group (GExp) that will use the novel respirator (VESTA) and (2) Control Group (CG) that will use the standard respirator (N95). Participants will be recruited from participating centers and will be accompanied by eight consecutive shifts (each shift lasting 6 to 12 hours, followed by approximately 36 hours of rest). Participants will be accompanied during 21 days, and will be assessed at baseline (T0), at the end of the 10th day (T1) and at the end of the 21st day (T2). The respirators will be assessed after the end of the 1st hospital shift for morphological characterization (virus quantity and inactivation).

The two strategies incorporate different prioritizations of clinical variables. The PEEP-FIO2 table strategy aims to reduce lung overdistension, even if it requires tolerating worse gas exchange. EIT-guided strategy prioritizes mechanical stress protection, avoiding alveolar overdistension and collapse.
Description: This score originally ranges from 0 to 4 points based on the average of 4 parameters (PaO2/FiO2, chest X-Ray, PEEP level, and Respiratory compliance). In the modified version, if the patient dies, he or she automatically receives a score of 5 irrespective of the other four parameters. If the patient is extubated, the score is automatically zero.

Screening for specific antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 will determine the exposure and protection acquired against this virus. Knowing the intra-family secondary transmission rate is essential for supporting the strategies for lifting the confinement envisaged and implementing a personalized approach. As of March 8, a platform for the home management of COVID + patients was set up when they, pauci or moderately symptomatic, do not require hospitalization. As of May 6, 2020, 881 patients have been registered in COVID and followed, constituting the active COVIDOM / PSL file. Of the 512 patients included between March 1 and 31, 45% have a household consisting of 3 people. All patients had weekly clinical follow-up by telephone for the duration of the disease with a maximum of 4 weeks having been achieved. If the recommendations of barrier gestures, isolation in an apartment were made during the symptomatic phase, the absence of masks available to all did not allow, in practice, to achieve the isolation and quarantine recommended ideally. to break the transmission of the virus. The FAMI-CoV study proposes to assess the rate of exposure to the virus in contacts sharing the same focus of index cases. A sub-study will assess the proportion of antibodies that have been neutralizing.

Measure: SARS CoV Antibody titre Time: Day28Emerging in China in December 2019, Covid-19, whose pathogen is SARS-Cov-2, was declared a global pandemic in March 2020. The clinical presentation is highly variable, ranging from asymptomatic forms to acute respiratory distress and even death. Transmission is by droplet route, with an R0 of approximately 3. Rapidly, population protection measures were put in place by governments, including the confinement of all persons whose functions were not considered essential and the closure of educational institutions. Health care institutions are places at risk of Covid-19 transmission and hospital staff are particularly exposed, either through direct contact with patients, contact with exposed persons or through the environment. In order to protect personnel, hygiene measures were immediately recalled and reinforced. During the period of containment, the majority of students from the Lyon-Bron Military Medical Schools were sent as reinforcement in Army Training Hospitals and in the Military Reanimation Unit (Mulhouse). Some students developed symptomatic forms of SARS-Cov-2 infection, documented by positive PCR, during Operation Resilience or on their return from the mission. The Lyon-Bron Military Medical Schools staff, exposed both to the initial phase of the epidemic and to national protection measures, represent an extremely interesting population for understanding the epidemiological dynamics of the virus.

Measure: Correlation coefficient between social risk factors and a positive serology Time: Day 0There is emerging evidence that patients with SARS-CoV-2 are affected by increased coagulopathy, including in the most advanced forms, a fully blown disseminated intravascular coagulation, leading to multi organ failure (MOF). Post-Morten observations from patients who died because of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Bergamo, Italy and other places have revealed the presence of diffuse venous, arterial and microcirculatorythrombosis, not only restricted to the lung but also involving the kidneys, heart and gut. Thrombin plays a central role in mediating clot forming as well as in mediating inflammation. A direct factor X inhibitor, namely edoxaban can act as prophylactic measure to mitigate the risk of venous and arterial thrombotic complications. Colchicine is an inexpensive (generic drug), orally administered, and a potent anti-inflammatory medication. It might accelerate SARS-CoV-2 clearance. The aim of the CONVINCE study is therefore to assess the safety and efficacy of edoxaban and/or colchicine administration in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients who are managed outside the hospital with respect to the occurrence of fatalities, hospitalisation, major vascular thrombotic events or the SARS-CoV-2 clearance rate under RT PCR.

Measure: Number of deaths Time: Baseline to day 25Description: Need for non-invasive or invasive ventilation
Measure: Ventilation need Time: Baseline to day 25Stress is underpinned by a biological reaction of the organism allowing the production of energy to respond to a change in the environment (or stressor). Stress reaction is expressed in behavioural, cognitive, emotional and physiological terms. This biological response is non-specific because it is the same regardless of the stressor. Its evolution over time has been conceptualised by Hans Selye (1956) in the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) which comprises three successive phases. (i) The first phase, known as the alarm phase, corresponds to the activation of all biological mechanisms according to a trend regulation, allowing a rapid response to the stressor. (ii) The second phase of resistance which adjusts the stress response to the intensity of the perceived aggression according to a constant regulation. (iii) When the aggression disappears, a recovery phase dominated by the return of the parasympathetic brake allows a return to homeostasis (eustress). The "primum movens" of all pathologies is therefore the inability of the individual to adapt his stress response in duration and/or intensity to the course of the phases of the GAS (distress). The perception of not being in control of the situation contributes to the perceived stress and constitutes a well-established risk of distress. It is a risk factor for the emergence of burnout. It induces a biological cost called allostatic cost. Allostasis is a concept that characterizes the process of restoring homeostasis in the presence of a physiological challenge. The term "allostasis" means "achieving stability through change", and refers in part to the process of increasing sympathetic activity and corticotropic axis to promote adaptation and restore homeostasis. Allostasis works well when allostasis systems are initiated when needed and turned off when they are no longer required. Restoring homeostasis involves effective functioning of the parasympathetic system. However, when the allostasis systems remain active, such as during chronic stress, they can cause tissue burnout and accelerate pathophysiological processes. The perception of uncontrollability depends on the stress situation, the psychological and physiological characteristics of the subject and his or her technical skills in responding to the stressors of the situation. In particular, subjects with a high level of mindfulness are more accepting of uncontrollability and less likely to activate the stress response. The COVID-19 pandemic situation is a situation characterized by many uncertainties about the individual, family and work environment and the risk of COVID infection. Healthcare workers, like the military, are high-risk occupations that are particularly exposed to these uncertainties in the course of their work and continue to work in an uncertain situation. These professionals are described as a population at risk of occupational/operational burnout that the level of burnout operationalises. This ancillary study in a population of civilian and military non-healthcare workers will complement the study conducted among military health care workers. It will make it possible to isolate the specificity of each profession (civilian or military, healthcare personnel or not) with regard to the risk of burnout in the COVID context. The objective of this project is to evaluate the impact of the perception of non-control in the operational burnout of experts in their field of practice and to study the psychological and physiological mechanisms mediating the relationship between the subject's characteristics, perceived non-control and burnout.
Description: Professional burnout is measured at D21 by the Burnout Measure Short Version (BMS) questionnaire It is a 10-item questionnaire used to assess burnout regardless of the occupational category. Each item is rated from 0 to 6 ("never" to "always").

A Randomized Clinical Trial. This is an experimental study whose aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of a drug to prevent infection with the virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), in health care workers. The drug under study is Tenofovir /Emtricitabine, a well-known antiretroviral, which is safe and is used as prophylaxis and treatment for HIV and other viral infections such as Hepatitis. Several laboratory-based studies indicate that this drug has the potential to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication. In addition, one study in HIV infected persons found that those taking Tenofovir /Emtricitabine tended to have a lower occurrence of COVID-19. In this study, we will compare the occurrence of infection with SARS-CoV-2/ COVID19 in health care workers between those assigned to an intervention group and those assigned to a control group. The intervention group will receive Tenofovir /Emtricitabine during 60 days in addition to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the control group will receive a placebo during 60 days in addition to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). The study will recruit 950 health professionals above 18 and less than 70 years, working in the emergency room, COVID wards and intensive care units of seven hospitals in Colombia. To make the comparison groups very similar, the participants will be assigned through a random mechanism to either the intervention (475), or the control (475) groups. In order to prevent biases in the evaluation of the results, neither the participants nor the clinical investigators, data managers, analysts and support personnel will know which intervention the participants are receiving. To determine the occurrence of infection with the virus the study will use both molecular tests that detect the presence of viral genes in respiratory secretions, and serological tests that detect the response of the immune system to the virus. The study will evaluate also the safety of this drug determining the occurrence of adverse events.

Measure: Severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection Time: At any time during follow up 75 days ( 60 days of intervention + final follow-up 15 days post-intervention)An estimated 22% of the global population is at an increased risk of a severe form of COVID-19, while one in four coronavirus patients admitted to intensive care unit will develop a pulmonary embolism. A major public health question remains to be investigated: why COVID-19 is mild for some, critically severe for others and why only a percentage of COVID-19 patients develop thrombosis, despite the disease's proven hypercoagulable state? Patients' intrinsic characteristics might be responsible for the deep variety of disease forms. Our study aims to assess the validity of the hypothesis according to which underlining genetic variations might be responsible for different degrees of severity and thrombotic events risks in the novel coronavirus disease. Moreover, we suspect that prothrombotic genotypes occuring in the genes that encode angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE-DEL/INS) and angiotensinogen (AGT M235T) are involved in the unpredictable evolution of COVID-19, both in terms of severity and thrombotic events, due to the strong interactions of SARS-CoV-2 with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Therefore, we also aim to assess the validity of the theory according to which there is a pre-existing atypical modulation of RAAS in COVID-19 patients that develop severe forms and/or thrombosis. Our hypothesis is based on various observations. Firstly, there is a substantial similarity with a reasonably related condition such as sepsis, for which there is a validated theory stating that thrombophilic mutations affect patients' clinical response. Secondly, racial and ethnic genetic differences are responsible for significant dissimilar thrombotic risks among various nations. Thirdly, an increase in stroke incidence has been reported in young patients with COVID-19, without essential thrombosis risk factors, favoring the idea that a genetic predisposition could contribute to increase the thrombotic and thromboembolic risk. Fourthly, the plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 4G/5G inherited mutation was found to be responsible for a thrombotic state causing post-SARS osteonecrosis.

Measure: Number of patients with thrombophilic profile alterations Time: One yearDescription: The differences of RAAS components levels between the three groups
Measure: Number of patients with RAAS components alterations Time: One year1.5. Why this clinical study? The prevalence of seropositivity following SARS-CoV 2 infection might have its own potential benefits in terms of predicting the end of pandemic and the validity of herd immunity. It is not clear if SARS-CoV 2 infection would have a long-lasting antibody-mediated immunity, and if the antibodies' persistence is dependent on disease severity.depends on the severity of illness. If evidence is provided about the persistence of antibodies that is reflective of the protective immune response, serodiagnosis will be an important tool to identify individuals with various risk for infection, and those who are in need of receiving the forthcoming vaccines. The here proposed prospective clinical study will test the prevalence of seropositivity following SARS-CoV 2 infection in critically ill patients compared to those who do not require intensive care unit (ICU) admission or invasive ventilation with respect to the IgM and IgG levels.

Pneumonia is the most common severe complication of COVID-19. But at the same time, COVID-19 is not the only cause of community-acquired pneumonia. Moreover, pneumonia is only one of the numerous possible severe complications of COVID-19. Medical centers specialized for the hospital treatment of patients with severe COVID-19 and community-acquired pneumonia were organized in different regions of Russia during coronavirus pandemic-2020. The indications for hospitalization to one of these centers based in the National Medical and Surgical Center (NMSC) are: confirmed or suspected severe COVID-19 or community-acquired pneumonia. A prospective medical registry of such patients hospitalized to NMSC, is intended to analyze and compare their clinical and instrumental data, co-morbidity, treatment, short-term and long-term outcomes in real clinical practice.

The purpose of this study is to better understand the effects of COVID-19 on the lungs and other organs. The study investigators have developed new techniques in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to scan the lungs, heart, brain and liver. The study investigators hope to learn more about how the virus causes inflammation in these organs and how this inflammation changes over time as people recover from COVID-19 illness. The study aims to enroll 228 people in Alberta. Participants will undergo one or more MRI scans and have blood testing at one or more time points to assess for inflammation, kidney function, liver function and possible heart injury. Participants will also undergo testing to assess sense of smell, cognition (thinking and memory), spirometry (breathing test for lung function) and and exercise tolerance (walk test). The study investigators hope this study will help us learn more about the long-term risks of COVID-19 disease.

Risk factors for a poor outcome of COVID-19 have so far been identified as older age and co-morbidity including chronic respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and current smoking status. Previous studies found, that vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent among patients with these risk factors. There are observational studies reporting independent associations between low serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (the major circulating vitamin D metabolite) and susceptibility to acute respiratory tract infection. Vitamin D substitution in patients with COVID-19 who show a vitamin D deficiency should therefore be investigated for efficacy and safety. The study is designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind study. The objective of the study is to test the hypothesis that patients with vitamin D deficiency suffering from COVID-19 treated under standardized conditions in hospital will recover faster when additionally treated with a single high dose of vitamin D compared to standard treatment only.

Understanding the key risk factors associated with infection amongst healthcare workers is essential for future pandemic response plans. Currently there are scarce data relating to the infection rates and associated factors amongst healthcare workers in the United Kingdom (UK). Studies of infection rates in healthcare workers have largely relied on the real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test to date and it appears that Healthcare workers are twice as likely to succumb to Coronavirus infection, when compared to the general population and those from Black and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds appear to be particularly at risk. Currently there is no evidence that the presence of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) antibodies provides seasonal or long term immunity to future infection. Therefore, this study aims to understand the current level of SARS-CoV-2 antibody positivity and try to determine the likely risk to healthcare workers in the UK to COVID-19 infection. This study hopes to find out whether certain individual characteristics will have an impact on likelihood of infection susceptibility and antibody response and determine the impact of the presence of antibodies on the likelihood of future clinical infection over a 12 month period. The study involves an initial online survey and linkage to the recent antibody test, then a further online survey in 6 and 12 months' time. The data obtained will be linked to data that the Human Resources Department (HR) holds. Participants also have the option to partake in another antibody test at 6 and 12 months' time and linked to the data collected.

Targeting inflammatory responses exploiting steroids' anti-inflammatory activity along with thrombosis prevention may be a promising therapeutic option to improve patients' outcome. Despite the biological plausibility, no good evidence is available on the efficacy and safety of heparin on sepsis patients, and many issues have to be addressed, regarding the proper timing, dosages and administration schedules of anticoagulant drugs. The primary objective is to assess the hypothesis that an adjunctive therapy with steroids and unfractionated heparin (UFH) or with steroids and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) are more effective in reducing any-cause mortality in critically-ill patients with pneumonia from COVID- 19 infection compared to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) alone. Mortality will be measured at 28 days. The study is designed as a multicenter, national, interventional, randomized, investigator sponsored, three arms study. Patients, who satisfy all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria, will be randomly assigned in a ratio 1:1:1 to one of the three treatment groups: LMWH group, LMWH+steroids or UFH+steroid group. A possible result showing the efficacy of the composite treatment in reducing the mortality rate among critically ill patients with pneumonia from COVID-19 infection will lead to a revision of the current clinical approach to this disease.

A new (SARS)-CoV infection epidemic began in Wuhan, Hubei, China, in late 2019; originally called 2019- nCoV the virus is now known as SARSCoV- 2 and the disease it causes COVID-19. Previous CoV epidemics included severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV, which started in China in 2003 and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV in the Middle East, which started in 2012. The mortality rates were >10% for SARS and >35% for MERS. The direct cause of death is generally due to ensuing severe atypical pneumonia and ensuing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Pneumonia also is generally the cause of death for people who develop influenza, although the mortality rate is lower (1%-3% for the influenza A H5N1 pandemic of 1918-1919 in the United States). Risk factors for a poor outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection have so far been found to include older age and co-morbidities including chronic cardiovascular and respiratory conditions and current smoking status. In May 2020, the FDA authorized the emergency use of remdesivir for treatment of COVID-19 disease based on topline date of two clinical trials, even though an underpowered clinical trial did not find significant improvement in COVID- 19 patients treated with remdesivir. Nevertheless, remdesivir is the first and so far, only approved treatment for COVID-19. Additionally further trials and clinical observations have not found a significant benefit of other antiviral drugs. Although the results of several studies are still pending, there is still a desperate need for an effective, safe treatment for COVID-19. Aviptadil, which is a synthetic form of Human Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP), might be beneficial in patients at risk of developing ARDS. Nonclinical studies demonstrate that VIP is highly concentrated in the lung, where it reduces inflammation.

Measure: Change in COVID-19 Severity Time: baseline, Day 2, 7, 10, 14, 17, 30, 90 and 180The aim of this study is to analyze oral disinfection with 1.5% hydrogen peroxide, 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate or 0.075% cetylpyridinium chloride to 0.28% zinc lactate to reduce the SARS-CoV viral load -2 in the oral and oropharyngeal mucosa and saliva. Patients of both sexes, aged between 18 and 90 years, positive for SARS-CoV-2 by the RT-PCR method and who require oral hygiene care and other preventive and therapeutic dental procedures that are used in the randomized clinical study. The study comprises two arms: Arm 1 - patients hospitalized in the ICU bed with orotracheal intubation - undergo disinfection of the oral mucosa with 1.5% hydrogen peroxide solution, after the 0.12% non-alcoholic chlorhexidine solution ( Peroxide and Chlorhexidine Group) or only disinfection of the oral mucosa with 0.12% non-alcoholic chlorhexidine solution (Chlorhexidine Group - control); Arm 2 - patients hospitalized in the common bed without mechanical ventilation - will undergo oral disinfection or with 1.5% hydrogen peroxide solution (Peroxide Group), or with 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate (Chlorhexidine Group) or with chloride 0.075% cetylpyridinium with 0.28% zinc lactate (Cetylpyridinium Group) or distilled water (Placebo Group). For the monitoring of viral load, the following procedures are performed: Arm 1 - a scrape with swab on the tongue, deep groove, oral soil, performed before the first oral disinfection (T0), after disinfection with hydrogen peroxide (T1) , after disinfection with chlorhexidine (T2) and 30 minutes after the last disinfection (T3); swab of the fluid adhered to the tube, before disinfecting the tube with hydrogen peroxide and chlorhexidine and immediately after this disinfection. Arm 2 - swab in oropharynx and saliva before application of solutions (T0), 30 min (T1) and 2 hours after application of solutions (T2). The quantification of SARS-CoV-2 will be done through the polymerase chain reaction with reverse-quantitative transcription (RT-qPCR). If some of these solutions are effective in reducing viral load in the oral cavity, this result may contribute to reduce the contamination of the environment caused by aerosols that require dental procedures, contributing to the improvement of biosafety protocols against SARS-CoV-2.

These studies are designed to assess risk of healthcare workers during outbreaks of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) also known as sudden acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). This will be a prospective, single-center observational study involving human subjects. IgG (Immunoglobulin G) antibody will be tested in the serum of physicians working at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital (ALGH). IgG antibodies are the antibodies that form in response to viral or bacterial infections and typically reflect protection against said infection. To date, there have been no studies confirming that IgG antibody formation confers immunity, but studies are ongoing. Furthermore, data is lacking showing conclusive persistence of (possibly protective) antibodies over time. Attending physicians on the medical staff, fellow physicians, and house staff residents who worked at ALGH from March 1st, 2020 and on, will be eligible for the study. Testing will involve a venipuncture to obtain approximately 3mL of blood to be sent to ACL Laboratories for SARS-CoV-2 IgG testing. For physician subjects, this will be performed on four separate occasions, once at the onset of the study, a second test 3 months after the first test, a third test 6 months from the time of the first test, and a fourth and final test 12 months after the initial test. Two household members (defined below), one-time testing will occur within 2 weeks of the physician subject testing positive. All testing will be performed in a two-week window. All physician subjects will be tested at a centralized site that is only serving these subjects, by appointment. We will be offloading testing for household members to one localized commercial ACL site on the ALGH campus at the Center for Advanced Care. The household member testing will be extended to an additional two-week period after the two week window in which physicians are tested for a total of four weeks maximum. One-time testing for IgG antibodies to COVID-19 will be offered to a maximum of two household members, as defined as, any person over the age of 18 years old who has lived at home with the physician, who has tested positive for IgG antibodies, for at least 2 weeks in total duration since March 1st, 2020. The physician will be permitted to choose who gets tested, and the chosen adult subject will provide their independent consent to be tested.

Measure: Antibody Persistence Time: up to 1 yearThe Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is currently involving all parts of the world. Several risk factors for critical illness and death from the disease have been proposed. However, it is still unclear if the observed associations between different comorbidities and chronic medications and severe COVID-19 disease and mortality is different from associations between the same factors and other severe diseases requiring intensive care unit (ICU) -care. This is important since some of the observed risk factors are very common in the aged who, by age alone, are more prone to a more severe course of any disease. By combining several registries, this study will compare, on several comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes , the first 2000 cases of COVID-19 patients receiving critical care in Sweden to a Swedish sepsis-cohort and a Swedish adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) -cohort.

Estimating the occupational risk of COVID-19, and producing evidence on the types of infection control practices and dental practices that may affect COVID-19 risk, is therefore imperative. These findings could be used to describe the prevalence and incidence of COVID-19 among dental hygienists, determine what infection control steps dental hygienists take over time, describe dental hygienists' employment during the COVID-19 pandemic, and estimate whether infection control adherence in dental practice is related to COVID-19 incidence.

The number of sample sets collected from any participant will be dependent on how long the SARS-CoV-2 virus persists within the stool. The investigators aim to collect a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 sample sets, and will target all COVID-19-positive subjects, with the exception of those severally ill (e.g. in the intensive care unit (ICU)). The investigators aim to recruit a minimum of 100 and up to 200 participants. To obtain the desired numbers, it may be necessary to continue recruitment during any further United Kingdom (UK) COVID-19 infection peaks.

Measure: Create a SARS-CoV-2 biological sample repository Time: Through study completion, up to two yearsThe Paris Fire Brigade staff have been particularly exposed to COVID-19 due to rescue and care activities for victims at risk in Paris area (where the virus was actively circulating). In addition, when the pandemic began in France, they had to take care of patients before procedures to protect caregivers were implemented. The contamination of young military personnel, whose physical capacity was put into strain at work, raises the question of the consequences of COVID-19 on their physical fitness. At the time, the medium- and long-term evolution of this disease and its possible repercussions on physical fitness are unknown. Moreover, like any soldiers who have been confined, they may present at least a cardio-respiratory deconditioning (sometimes independent of the disease making it difficult to distinguish between a sequelae of the infection or rehabilitation). Based on previous coronavirus epidemics (Sars-Cov 1 and Mers-Cov), it appears that long-term sequelae are possible even in mild forms and can result in an alteration of exertion ability. In the current context and in the absence of national or international recommendations on the return to physical activity, the French Armed Forces Health Service has proposed a simple management plan aiming at: i) allowing mass screening for possible exercise intolerance and targeting at-risk personnel, ii) allowing individualized re-training and iii) guaranteeing that military personnel can carry out their mission without jeopardizing their health.
Description: Aerobic performance will be assessed through a test called VAMEVAL. VAMEVAL consists of running around a track marked out every 50 meters to the rhythm of a soundtrack that accelerates at a rate of 0.5 km/h in 2-minute increments until exhaustion or inability to maintain the pace of the race. The result of the test made on return to work will be compared to the last result on the same test performed before COVID-19 infection.
Measure: Magnitude of the decrease in aerobic performance on return to work Time: Up to 18 monthsSince March 2020, the SARS-CoV type coronavirus infection (SARS-CoV-2; nCoV19; COVID-19) is considered pandemic. As early as April 2020, the World Health Organization recommended the implementation of mass screening of populations, with the aim of identifying cases and contacts and controlling viral spread. Since the end of lock-down on May 11, 2020,the screening policy has been intensified to fight against COVID-19. Virological tests by RT-PCR are thus accessible to all, without a prescription and reimbursed by health insurance. The French government has also set a quantitative target of 1 million tests per week. In order to meet this target, the number of sampling centers has been increased (mobile structures, etc.). Screening tests are currently carried out using a nasopharyngeal swab analyzed by RT-PCR for the detection of viral RNA. This type of sample has several technical and logistic constraints. It must be carried out by personnel who are authorized and trained in this procedure and in appropriate hospital hygiene practices. It exposes the sampling personnel to possible contamination through nasopharyngeal secretions or coughing that may occur during sampling. With the increase in screening, there are sometimes insufficient numbers of sampling personnel and there is significant market pressure for swabs and virological transport media. In addition, these swabs are uncomfortable or even painful for the patient, which could imply a reluctance to be screened. They are also complicated in children, whether they are rhino- or oropharyngeal. An alternative to the nasopharyngeal swab, which is the subject of this project, would be to have one or more reliable sampling methods that are less restrictive than the nasopharyngeal swab ("gold standard"). Thus, we propose to test and compare the results obtained by molecular biology techniques on nasopharyngeal, salivary and buccal swabs.
Description: Qualitative result may be : "positive", "negative" or "invalid". The test results will be compared between the two types of collection method.
Measure: Qualitative result of molecular tests for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Time: At enrollment (day 1)In recent months severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has emerged as a novel human pathogen and, susceptibility amongst humans is presumed to be universal. Prevention measures of COVID-19 have included distancing, quarantines, use of facemasks in public places, and hand hygiene measures. Mandatory quarantines have also been applied on index cases and their contacts, as well as an active search for asymptomatic patients. Current strategies to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 do not include measures that could prevent transmission prior to the onset of symptoms. Subjects infected with SARS-CoV-2 have been known to shed virus and be contagious for up to 5 days prior to developing symptoms ('pre-symptomatic transmission'). In fact, nearly 60% of all infected subjects can shed virus pre-symptomatically. Pre- or even asymptomatic shedding occurs across all age groups, contributing to the rapidly expanding pandemic. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) using type 1 interferon (IFN) can potentially eliminate the spread of SARS-CoV-2. IFN could reduce the period of viral shedding by ~1 week. Since pre-symptomatic shedding of virus can start up to 5 days prior to symptom onset, our approach of a PEP intervention to all contacts recently exposed to a case could possibly entirely interrupt the spread of the virus, and with that, the pandemic. The current study focuses on prevention of the disease in addition to its treatment. Thus, the key distinction between these other trials and this study is that this study focuses on containing coronavirus (i.e. cause) in the community, rather than simply its treatment (i.e. consequence) in the individual. Viral spread could be eliminated through interventions effective at abolishing viral transmission. However, such post-exposure prophylaxis interventions, that is initiation of antiviral therapy in pre-infectious contacts to reduce or even eliminate such spread, must be safe since they are given to asymptomatic and possibly uninfected subjects. In none of the previous clinical trials of IFN therapy for SARS-CoV-2 have serious adverse events been recorded. Furthermore, the IFN chosen for this study (pegylated IFN 1b) has been extensively studied in clinical trials, and has been in clinical use for years for multiple sclerosis. Pegylated IFN formulations allow for weekly injections while maintaining serum levels and limiting dose-dependent side effects. Together these data support a sound safety profile for the planned intervention. The aim of this study is to ascertain whether IFN administered to index cases and household contacts of an index case, starting immediately following confirmed exposure (index case confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2), will reduce duration of SARS-CoV-2 detectable by PCR in the index cases, and incidence of SARS-CoV-2 detectable by PCR in household contacts.

Measure: Transfusion related adverse events Time: till 28 daysIn COVID-19 deep airway and alveolar destruction occurred due to inflammatory reaction resulting into severe pneumonia. In COVID-19, lung injury is not only due to viral damage to tissue, but it is also due to immune response that leads to activation of inflammatory cells and release of cytokines. In COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS is produced due to mucinous or cellular fibromyxoid exudates, desquamation of pneumocytes and alveolar damage and hyaline membrane development and within 5-7 days disease become more aggressive due to pneumonia and respiratory failure. It is important to start the prompt and strengthen treatment for suppression of inflammatory response and cytokine storm. Methylprednisolone are the traditional immunosuppressive drugs. They are important and effective to delay the pneumonia progression and treating the ARDS. Corticosteroids are broadly used as treatment for ARDS and there was an evidence for its efficacy for treating SARS and decreasing mortality of SARS in the past. However for COVID-19 corticosteroids efficacy and safety usage is still under clinical trials

Measure: Clinical response to treatment Time: 28 daysDescription: Number of days of hospital admission either in ICU or HDUs till date of discharge
Measure: Duration of hospitalization Time: 28 daysThe most accepted description of severe COVID-19 disease is development and over production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Autopsy studies have been done on COVID-19 patients proved that severe disease is resulted due to deviant host-immune response and cytokine storm. Elevated inflammatory biomarkers like C-Reactive protein (CRP) and pro-inflammatory cytokines shown to be higher in severe disease of COVID-19. Several studies on severe COVID-19 have revealed raised levels of plasma cytokines like IL-6, IL-2, IL-10, Gamma interferon (INF), Tumor necrosis factor Alpha TNF. The Cytokines release syndrome (CRS) is a hyperinflammatory deadly syndrome characterized by release of uncontrolled immune system activation which is responsible for multi-organ failure. It has the main role in ARDS due to SARS-CoV-2 virus which binds to alveolar epithelium and resulting in IL-6 release that is responsible for increase alveolar-epithelium permeability. In many studies it has been observed that IL-6 have played a main role in CRS induction. Previous experiences from hyperinflammatory and cytokine storm syndromes recommends that early involvement of inhibiting CRS is essential to prevent lethal tissue damage and poor clinical outcome. In this scenario the judgement of clinical specialist who are suggesting that evidence of CRS can be cured with glucocorticoids, I/V immunoglobulin and anti-cytokine therapy cannot be ignored.

Measure: Supplemental Oxygen Requirement from Baseline Time: 15 daysRemdesivir is a monophosphoramidate prodrug of an adenosine analogue and it has a broad-spectrum antiviral activity against paramyxoviruses, falviviruses and coronaviruses. It showed in vitro activity on human airway epithelial cells against SARS-CoV-2. It is an investigational drug and granted an Emergency Use Authorization by Food and Drug Administration FDA, so it is under clinical trial. The potent mechanism of action of this drug is still unclear but it effects through several processes. It can interfere with nsp12 polymerase even when exoribonuclease proofreading is intact. It can also produce nucleoside triphosphate NTP that acts pharmacologically active alternate substrate of RNA-chain terminator, as a result NTP can constrain active triphosphates into viral RNA of coronaviruses. There is evidence of high genetic barrier to develop resistance against Remdesivir in coronavirus as a result of which is maintains its effectiveness in antiviral therapies against these viruses. Effectiveness of Remdesivir has been reported against different groups of coronaviruses including Alphacoronavirus NL63 and several SARS/MERS-CoV coronaviruses.

Measure: Supplemental Oxygen Requirement from Baseline Time: 15 daysMany non-invasive ventilatory choices are available for COVID-19 patient who are having mild to moderate respiratory distress and their use will decrease the chance of ICU admission, intubation and mechanical ventilation in severe cases of COVID-19. However, all these respiratory supports and oxygen supply devices are aerosol generating and their selection should be precised enough to control nosocomial spread. High flow nasal cannula HFNC is a device that delivered the warmed and humid air on high flow rate through nose. It is used to treat severe respiratory distress in COVID-19 patients, a non-invasive ventilatory approach which is relative comfortable by using humidified and pre-heated air containing large concentration of oxygen. In acute respiratory failure HFNC is proven to be very effective and it also reduced the need of mechanical ventilation in severe patients. Apart from the supply of oxygen, HFNC generating positive airway pressure and decreasing the rebreathing from anatomical dead space. Prone position is also a save therapy and has been proven to be effective for refractory hypoxia by increasing tidal volume, oxygenation and diaphragmatic functions in ARDS patients. Recent studies showed that prone positioning and HFNC might avoid the prerequisite of intubation in moderate to severe patients of ARDS and as a result it decreases the nosocomial infection in physicians who are doing these aerosol generating procedures.

Measure: Clinical response to treatment Time: 10 daysA new strain of coronavirus that caused severe respiratory disease in infected individuals was initially identified in China's Wuhan City in December 2019. Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), which was responsible for the corona virus infectious disease-2019 (COVID-19).The World Health Organization declared that COVID-19 was a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30,2020. The impact of COVID-19 in liver recipients remains largely unknown but accumulating experience is going on. Liver transplant recipients should have been classified as a risk group and should have received regular surveillance for COVID-19 throughout the pandemic. Some reports suggest decreasing immunosuppression for infected recipients, if no recent rejection episodes. Paradoxically, others suggest that a reactive immune response might be the cause for severe tissue damage, and that immunosuppression might be protective from the postulated cytokine storm. Some studies stated that the LT patients who are permanently on immunosuppressants could be particularly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, and their prognosis could be worse in comparison to the normal population. They recommended that LT recipients should be closely monitored for SARS-CoV-2. The LT society of India (LTSI) highlighted the potential of LT recipients as asymptomatic carriers and source of viral spread, and that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted to LT recipients. There are insufficient data on the relationship between immunosuppressive therapy and COVID-19 in LT recipients during this pandemic. However, the Beijing working party for liver transplantation suggested that LT recipients who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 should be treated with steroids for a short period to reduce the severity of pneumonia. They also suggested that immunosuppressive therapies should be continued for both patients with mild COVID-19 and those who were not infected by the virus, and calcineurin inhibitor treatment dosage should be reduced in moderate to severe cases. Neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) play an important role in virus clearance and have been considered as a key immune product for protection or treatment against viral diseases. Virus-specific NAbs, induced through either infection or vaccination, have the ability to block viral infection. SARS-CoV -2 specific NAbs reached their peak in patients from day 10-15 after the onset of the disease and remained stable thereafter in the patients. Antibodies targeting on different domains of S protein, including S1, RBD, and S2, may all contribute to the neutralization. Al-Rajhi Liver Center is the only liver transplantation center in Upper Egypt that performed only 51 living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) cases since 2014, but it was used as isolation Hospital for COVID-19 cases from March to July, 2020. Communication with liver transplant cases during that period was via Telemedicine. Resuming usual Hospital activity as Tertiary Liver Center occurred in 15 August 2020. Similarly, other Hospitals in Egypt were designated as COVID-19 isolation Hospitals.
As the global and pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) continues, many knowledge gaps remain with regard to the epidemiology and transmission of infection, as well as the normal immunological responses after viral exposure. Cincinnati had its first confirmed case of COVID-19 on March 14, 2020, and despite extensive shelter-in-place and social distancing efforts, community spread continues at over 150-200 new cases per week. As new residents and fellows arrive in July 2020 to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), many of whom come from metropolitan areas across the country, it is imperative that we determine the current prevalence of infection, measure the cumulative incidence of infection over the next 12-24 months, investigate the normal antibody patterns after infection, and help elucidate what constitutes a protective immunological response. We have a unique but time-limited opportunity to optimally track the epidemiology and natural history of SARS-CoV-2 infection among trainees at CCHMC, including risk factors for transmission and immunological recovery. SCREEN will investigate epidemiological and immunological features of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection within the cohort of CCHMC residents and fellows who have patient contact. By collecting and analyzing weekly serial samples for SARS-CoV-2 (nasal swab for virus by PCR) and monthly serological exposure (serum antibodies by ELISA), we will determine the prevalence and cumulative incidence of infection by SARS-CoV-2; we will also document the antibody responses over time and identify cases of apparent viral recrudescence or re-infection.

The highly contagious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) and the long duration of the disease have led to a massive influx of patients admitted in health services and intensive care units. These patients represent a significant infection risk to the medical staff. According to current knowledge, there are no treatments that prevent the spread of the infection, especially in exposed populations, or the disease progression to a severe form. Daily active smokers are infrequent among outpatients or hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Several arguments suggest that nicotine is responsible for this protective effect via the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Nicotine may inhibit the penetration and spread of the virus and have a prophylactic effect in COVID-19 infection, especially in healthcare workers who are at high risk of infection.

The coronaviruses are largely responsible for the common cold, the 2002 SARS outbreak in Guangdong, China, the 2012 MERS outbreak in Saudi Arabia, and the present COVID-19 outbreak that originated in Wuhan, China. Much has been reported by way of systemic injury caused by COVID-19 affecting the cardiovascular, hepatic, nervous systems. These conditions are likely the result of the virus overwhelming the immune system. For these reasons, the investigators wish to conduct this study using existing medications off-label, and over-the-counter supplements to support the immune response, prevent lasting injury, and hasten the recovery from COVID-19.

Active smokers are infrequent among patients with COVID-19 which has led our team to hypothesize that nicotine is responsible for this protective effect via the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). In fact, nAChR possess the ability to modulate ACE2 expression, the cellular doorway for SARS-CoV2. nAChR modulation by the virus would be responsible for the numerous clinical signs observed in COVID-19, including the cytokine storm manifested in intensive care hyperinflammatory patients. Based on epidemiological data and experimental data from scientific literature, our team hypothesize that nicotine could inhibit the penetration and propagation of SARS-CoV2. Our team also claim that nicotine could attenuate the hyperinflammatory response and cytokine storm leading to acute respiratory failure and a probable multi-organ failure associated with COVID19.

Additionally, to give a characterization of the lung damage caused by COVID-19 by analysis of daily blood samples. The hypothesis is that the protein content of the EBC from COVID-19 patients who require admission to the ICU differs from the EBC from COVID-19 patients with uncomplicated hospitalization, potentially providing diagnostic markers of COVID-19 related pulmonary damage.

Although there has been a rapid response to studying the effects of COVID-19 in the acute stages, little is known about recovery over the longer-term. Older adults who survive the diseases are at risk of developing persistent mobility limitations due to extensive bed rest during hospitalization. For older patients and those with underlying frailty recovering from COVID-19, this could rapidly lead to significant physical deconditioning and rapid declines in mobility. Understanding the trajectory of functional recovery of older hospitalised patients with COVID-19 in the short- and long-term is critical to improving patient outcomes and informing health and rehabilitative interventions for survivors.

The purpose is to assess the effect of the limited visitor policy during the COVID-19 pandemic, on the pattern of interaction of critically ill patients to their kin/ guardian and doctor-family members communication. Primary objective of this study are as follows: 1. Explore the changes in communication pattern with limited contact during the COVID-19 pandemic. 2. Assess the methods of informed consent in Intensive care units (ICUs) during the same period

Measure: Changes in process of informed consent in ICU Time: 12 monthsSince the onset of the disease, more than 40.5 million people have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and nearly 1.2 million people have died (October 21, 2020). There is no complete understanding of the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection and to this day there is no specific therapy or vaccine available. Thus, patient care is based on symptomatic therapy and treatment of complications. Ivermectin has been used for more than 30 years for the treatment of several diseases. More than one million doses of the drug are administered daily, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Due to the low prevalence of adverse events with the use of this drug, ivermectin is considered to have a good safety profile and its potential benefit in other diseases is currently under investigation. An in vitro study of ivermectin in SARS-CoV-2 in Australia showed a significant reduction of viral load in infected cells. Subsequently, a descriptive study of 704 critical patients with COVID-19 showed a reduction in mortality, hospitalization, and intensive care unit length-of-stay in those patients who received the drug. Unfortunately, this study was withdrawn by its authors, leaving more questions than answers. Some countries in Latin America have authorized its use for the management of patients with COVID-19 even in the absence of solid evidence, and several other countries are conducting clinical trials to evaluate its efficacy for the treatment of moderate and severe disease. Since there is no specific treatment for COVID-19 and the therapeutic options are scarce, the researchers believe it is completely plausible, urgent, and necessary to evaluate if ivermectin use reduces the risk of admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) in hospitalized adults with severe COVID-19. The proposal is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial, conducted at CES Clinic, Medellin-Colombia. The investigators will randomize 100 patients with severe, non-critical illness, into two groups, one group will receive ivermectin in addition to standard management and the other group will receive placebo plus standard management. Clinical outcomes to evaluate will be ICU admission, need for mechanical ventilation, length of hospital stay, days in the ICU and mechanical ventilation, and finally, the incidence of adverse events related to the intervention. The estimated time to complete the study is approximately five months.

Measure: Adverse effects of ivermectin. Time: 21 daysThere are several clinical presentations of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Among the severe forms, pulmonary involvement with respiratory failure is common. Although severe lung involvement with SARS-CoV-2 meets the Berlin criteria for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), it differs from classic ARDS in that compliance (reflecting distensibility of the lung parenchyma) is frequently preserved. If the interest of Electrical Impedance Tomography has been demonstrated in classical ARDS, this is not the case in ARDS with COVID-19. However, the use of this technique in this particular patient population would make it possible to distinguish patients with severe hypoxemia linked to derecruitment from those without derecruitment, in whom hypoxemia is more likely to be linked to the loss of hypoxic vasoconstriction.
Description: The percentage of derecruitment of dependent areas will be measured every day with Electrical Impedance Tomography. The response to prone position will be assessed every day.
Measure: Coefficient of correlation between the percentage of derecruitment of dependent areas (measured with Electrical Impedance Tomography) and the response to prone position Time: Up to 7 daysThis is a study that will attempt to validate the process for detecting SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19) using self-collected saliva as the specimen. We will compare self-collected saliva samples and healthcare-worker collected nasopharyngeal samples (Nasal swabs) to see if the self-collected saliva samples are similar in terms of diagnostic accuracy. We will be performing this testing at the site where patients regularly go for COVID19 testing. There will be minimal risk of harm as consenting patients will only have to provide a small amount of saliva into a tube.

There is some evidence that a combination of three medications currently used to treat other viral infections could be effective in fighting this new virus. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of Nitazoxanide (NTZ), Ribavirin (RBV) and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) versus placebo in participants with proven SARS-CoV-2 infection The study will enroll 70 participants within the 7 days after having been diagnosed with coronavirus infection. The purpose is to determine if those randomized to 5-day dosing with the three medication combination have decreased viral load and severity of illness in the 10 days following treatment as compared to those taking placebo. Participants will be actively followed for 28 days.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and others are performing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of vaccines and novel antivirals to address SARS-CoV-2 directly. However, the critical illness complications of COVID-19 are caused in part by SARS-CoV-2's binding and inhibiting ACE2 and the consequent host response. ACE 2 is the receptor for H1N1, H5N1, and SARS-CoV-2. After binding ACE2, SARS-CoV-2 is endocytosed, and surface ACE2 is down-regulated, increasing angiotensin II (ATII a potent vasoconstrictor) in COVID-19. The original ARB, losartan, limits lung injury in murine influenza H7N9 and decreases viral titre and RNA. We have a unique opportunity to complement vaccine and anti-viral RCTs with an RCT modulating the host response using an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARB, losartan) to decrease the mortality of hospitalized COVID-19 patient.

Description: Clinical improvement measured by no sign & symptom and RTPCR negative from baseline to Day 3
Measure: Clinical improvement measured by no sign & symptom for 3 days and RTPCR negative Time: until 3 daysDescription: Duration of hospitalization is defined as the number of days in the hospital until Day 19, and descriptive statistics (number of subjects, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, maximum) are given for each administration group.
Measure: Duration of hospitalization Time: until 19 daysBased on studies in China, Iceland, the Netherlands and Italy it seems that children are less affected by SARS-CoV-2 infections and play a lesser role in the dissemination of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is unclear to which extend this is due to lesser exposure or an inherent decreased susceptibility to become infected. The low reported number of cases in children can be partially explained by the lower testing rates in the pediatric population. To get insight in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 virus in school-aged children it is necessary to compile data on infection of SARS-CoV-2 virus in the child and (pre-)adolescent population. The main objective of this study is to determine the sero-prevalence and sero-conversion of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in a sample of school-aged children (primary and secondary school) in Belgium at different time points. Additionally this study will gain insight in the incidence of SARS-CoV-2, the proportion of asymptomatic infections with SARS-CoV-2 and the role of COVID-19 infection in household members. It will give us the possibility to investigate potential risk factors for infection. The study population includes primary and secondary school children from two predefined age groups (8-9 and 13-14 years old). These two groups are chosen because studies have shown more pronounced symptoms of infection and disease depending on age and because transmission dynamics also vary by age. The study population will be recruited in all Belgian schools including Brussels-Capital, Flemish and Walloon Region (including the German speaking community). The study is a prospective cohort study. In total there will be 3 testing points with 3 months between each point. The sample size calculation indicated the inclusion of 41 randomly selected primary and 41 secondary schools and in each school 20 randomly selected pupils of the defined age groups. Parents/legal child caregiver will complete a questionnaire at each of the testing points providing basic socio-demographic characteristics (at baseline only) and risk-behavior and health characteristics including presence of symptoms during the time since the previous testing point (at each of the testing points). The questionnaire will be completed through a secured online application during the same week as the child had the saliva sample for serological testing taken. Saliva samples will be sent to the Sciensano laboratory for serological analysis. The child's parent/legal caregiver will be informed of the serological result. Study data will guide the Belgian policy makers in their advices to limit circulation of SARS-CoV-2 in Belgium and more specifically in their advice on measures for school-age children. This data might also be used to guide health authorities that have to decide on vaccination strategies once a vaccine is available; to decide whether children should be included for vaccination to create herd immunity or not.

Time: Baseline and 12 weeks.The study proposes to test photodisinfection (PDF) on SARS-CoV-2 in the nose. The study will use Health Canada approved Steriwave™ Nasal Decolonization (ND) in he nostril of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Participants are swabbed for SARS-CoV-2 before and after the PDF treatment. For the study, a small group of healthcare workers who have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 will be included. They will not undergo the treatment but will need to swab their noses multiple times over the next 5 days. This nil group will provide the effect (if any) of swabbing SARS-CoV-2 levels in the nose.
Description: The main endpoint is microbiological; RT-qPCR will be conducted on the pre and post treatment swabs and the change in cycle threshold value will be measured
Measure: RT-qPCR Time: 30 minutesThe purpose of this Pilot Study is to establish a hypothesis of whether or not intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) may impact the hospital length of stay, if started within 48 of mechanical ventilation in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Description: Assess hospital length of stay after mechanical ventilation
Measure: Hospital length of stay Time: Up to 60 daysDescription: Analyze the blood to assess the human metabolome and proteome in patients with COVID-19 receiving IVIG including production of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, markers of endothelial injury, and coagulation using Mass Spectrometry
Measure: Human metabolome and proteome Time: Up to 60 daysFor the last years, studies have described the " Post-intensive care Syndrome " (PICS), which consists in alteration of quality of life, cognition, autonomy and psychological disorders within the months after intensive-care. Patients with COVID-19 in intensive care units are at high risks to develop PICS. The primary objective is to analyse the incidence of the post-traumatic stress disorder at 12 months after intensive-care for a COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
