COVIDISC: Rapid Diagnostic Tests on Nasopharyngeal Swabs for the Detection of COVID-19

The Covid-19 pandemic requires a reliable diagnosis of patients in order to take care of them in the best conditions and in the appropriate services. Moreover, the current diagnostic reference is reverse transcription by polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on a nasopharyngeal sample taken by swab. This technique is expensive (54€) and its production time is several hours. Alternative methods are in progress, including, rapid diagnostic tests. The MEMS microfluids and nanostructures (MMN) laboratory, in partnership with the Institut Chimie Biologie Innovation (CBI) (Paris, 75005), have developed a portable test "COVIDISC", low-cost (10 €), fast (1 hour), including extraction, elution and amplification in solid medium isothermal, reverse amplification loop mediated transcription (RT-LAMP). The "lab" version has received an analytical validation on human nasopharyngeal samples with performance comparable to classic RT-PCR (sensitivity of 7 copies per ?l, specificity 100%). The objective of this study is to validate the in vitro diagnostic medical device, COVIDISC, with the standard nasopharyngeal RT-PCR test.

FREEDOM COVID-19 Anticoagulation Strategy

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has led to unprecedented morbidity and mortality in the modern era. To date, nearly 13 million people have contracted COVID-19, leading to more than 550,000 deaths worldwide. As the number of affected individuals continues to climb, effective strategies for treatment and prevention of the disease are of paramount importance. SARS-CoV-2 is understood to directly invade cells via the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, which is expressed predominantly in the lungs but also throughout the cardiovascular system. Thus, while acute respiratory distress syndrome remains a feared complication, new thromboembolic disease has emerged as a common and potentially catastrophic manifestation of COVID-19.

Rutgers COVID-19 Cohort Study

The specific objective is to rapidly establish a prospective cohort to characterize the factors related to viral transmission and disease severity in a large healthcare system in healthcare settings and HCW (healthcare worker) households. Investigators propose to address this hypothesis by recruiting and longitudinally following 500 HCW and 250 age- and sex-matched NHCW (Non-healthcare workers) within a large academic health system, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS). By intensively following participants over a six-month period and collecting serial biospecimens (nasopharyngeal/throat swabs, blood, and saliva) and questionnaire data at nine time points, investigators can uniquely characterize Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission and risk factors for Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) among health care workers and their families

Stress Related Disorders in Family Members of COVID-19 Patients Admitted to the ICU

Coronavirus 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.

COVID-19 Among Healthcare Workers in Belgian Hospitals

Due to the situation this study, originally planted until September 2020, was extended with 7 months until April 2021. This extension was approved by the ethical committee University hospital Ghent, Belgium. The novel SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-associated Coronavirus type 2) is rapidly spreading over the world causing a condition called Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Hospital health care workers (HCW) have received detailed instructions to protect themselves against this infection, but it is likely that at least some of the HCW will get infected either at their workplace or elsewhere. It would be useful to document prevalence and seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 and their monthly evolution among Belgian active hospital HCW during a period of 12 months starting beginning of April 2020 and the number of new cases (incidence) of COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 seroconversions among Belgian hospital HCW during a period of 12 months which are the primary objectives of this study. Additionally the study will validate serological tests (subject to change/addition depending on the evolution of scientific research) against the plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) (gold standard); validate the saliva sample (sampling with Oracol or equivalent) against the standard naso/oro pharyngeal swabbing (NOPS) to perform RT-qPCR for SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic purposes, as well as against the standard serology (serum); validate the nasal swab against the standard (NOPS) to perform RT-qPCR for SARS-CoV-2 for diagnostic purposes; investigate potential risk factors for the infection; quantify the proportion of asymptomatic cases among new cases that develop during a period of 12 months. To reach these primary and secondary objectives the researchers will conduct a prospective cohort study in which a random selection of HCW currently working in Belgian hospitals will be tested monthly (with for the first month an additional testing point at 14 days). The testing will include four kind of laboratory tests, being; a molecular (PCR) test on a nasopharyngeal, a saliva and nasal sample (for nasal and saliva sample only testing until 50 PCR positive and 50 PCR negative samples are collected) and a serological test for which a blood sample is needed. To asses risk factors, at each testing point a questionnaire providing basic socio-demographic and health characteristics of the HCW including presence of symptoms since the previous testing point and the HCW's involvement in caring for COVID-19 patients will be completed. Laboratory data and epidemiological data (questionnaire) will be collected simultaneously. In each of the participating hospitals, one contact person will be designated to coordinate the study locally (ideally a staff member of the local infection and prevention control team) and communicate with the researchers. The sample size calculation indicated the inclusion of 17 randomly selected Belgian hospitals and in each hospital 50 randomly selected HCW. HCW can only be enrolled in the study after give a written informed consent. Laboratory testing will be performed at the Virology Diseases and Immune Response services of Sciensano, Ukkel, and the Virology Laboratory of the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp. The laboratory test results will be communicated by the laboratory to each participant. Each participant and sample will have a unique code assigned. Data collected through the questionnaire will be send psuedonymised (using the unique code) to the epidemiologist at Sciensano. The laboratory will prepare a list of test results by unique code to be linked for further analysis with the questionnaire data. None of the researchers who will analyse the data will be involved in data collection, nor in the care of COVID-19 patients. This study is a Belgian multicentric study executed by Sciensano, Brussels, in collaboration with the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp.

Cardiovascular Implications of COVID-19

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.
