Methylene Blue Treatment of COVID-19

Despite enormous progress in understanding COVID-19, there is little evidence that a solution, therapeutic or preventive, is close to being achieved. Repurposing of well known, widely available drugs represent an attractive approach to speed up availability of active treatments. Such substances as i.e. hydroxychloroquine and others, are already under investigation and in widespread off label use. For many reasons Methylene blue (MB), the oldest synthetic substance in medicine (1876 synthesized by BASF) is such a promising candidate for an active treatment against SARS-CoV-2 infected people and for COVID-19 patients.

COVID-19 Respiratory Distress and Antithrombotic Drugs in Subject's Habits

Current management of VID-19 consists of oxygen support without specific treatment. Hospitalization may suddenly require delayed resuscitation. This evolution corresponds to an atypical acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the mechanism of which is poorly understood and difficult to predict. The general pathophysiology of ARDS, the vascular tropism of SARS-Cov2, the description of coagulopathy and numerous pulmonary artery thromboses in resuscitation and the encouraging investigation of antithrombotics in general ARDS

Implementation of Physiotherapy on COVID-19 Patients in ICU

Despite new charachersitics of COVID-19 patients, critical care implementation seems to be similar to those with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in intensive care units (ICU). Regarding the initial gravity of these patients, sedation and neuromuscular blockers are usually administrated, increasing the risk to develope an ICU-acquired weakness which is directly correlated to morbi-mortality and a burden during recovery. Respiratory symptoms are mostly related to dyspnoea and non-productive cough, with only 33% of COVID-19 patient having a bronchial hypersecretion ; consequently, chest physiotherapy is only implemented in after case-by-case evaluation. This unprecedented situation requires to identify how physiotherapy is being implemented in COVID-19 patients in ICU. This retrospective, multicentric study aims to identify the charactheristics of physiotherapy (type and time spent) implemented in Argentina, Belgium, Chili, France, Italy and Spain

A Study of APL-9 in Adults With Mild to Moderate ARDS Due to COVID-19

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of APL-9 in adults with mild to moderate ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) caused by COVID-19 who are hospitalized and require supplemental oxygen therapy with or without mechanical ventilation. 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.

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Nicotine Patches in SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19) Infection in Hospitalized Patients

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic represents a major therapeutic challenge. 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. To current knowledge, there is no treatment yet that that can prevent infection from SARS-COV-2 virus, nor the disease progression to a severe form. Daily active smokers are rare among outpatients or hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Several arguments suggest that nicotine could be responsible for this protective effect thank to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Based on epidemiological data and experimental data from scientific literature, we hypothesize that nicotine could inhibit the penetration and spread of the virus and improve the management of COVID19 , particularly in hospitalized patients to prevent adverse outcomes (death, transfer to intensive care unit, care limitation, mechanical ventilation an high flow oxygen).

COVID-19 Seroconversion Among Front Line Medical and Paramedical Staff in Emergency, Intensive Care Units and Infectious Disease Departments During the 2020 Epidemic

The epidemic due to the Sars-CoV2 virus is spreading in France, without knowning precisely since when the virus has actually circulated on the territory. Data from China but also systematic samples taken from the passengers of the Diamond Princess boat also report almost 50% of asymptomatic forms of Covid-19. The medical and paramedical staff of the front-line services for the care of patients infected with Covid-19 are in fact potentially exposed to the risk of occupational contamination due to the large number of patients treated, including in the pre-epidemic phase. Therefore, and despite the application of standard protective measures, it is possible that a certain number of these personnel already have or will contract Covid-19 disease, including in its asymptomatic form.

Serological Response to SARS-Cov-2 Virus in Personnel of the Institut Bergonié in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The question of the immune response of the population, particularly of professional populations in contact with vulnerable populations (such as those with chronic conditions such as cancer), is an important issue. Knowing the evolution of this response over time in this population can help answer outstanding questions. The PRO-SERO-COV study is a seroprevalence study of caregivers working in the hospital sector with a follow-up at 3 months and 12 months. The objective is to evaluate and monitor at 3 and 12 months the serological immune status to an infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus in active volunteer professionals working at the Institut Bergonié with different types of exposure: healthcare professionals and professionals in other services.

Tocilizumab Treatment in Patients With COVID-19

A phase II clinical trial will be carried out with the objective of studying the impact of the administration of Tocilizumab on the evolution of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with severe or critical SARS-CoV-2 infection. Due to the high mortality of severe forms of SARS-CoV-2 and for ethical reasons, a control arm will not be included. Patients will be recruited by signing an informed consent and the baseline variables of interest will be recorded. Tocilizumab will be administered in one or two doses, depending on the case, and will be followed up for 30 days. The response to treatment, survival and evolution will be studied. Factors associated with improvement of ARDS and survival will be identified through multivariate analyzes. The results will be compared with those reported internationally.

LILLE COVID RESEARCH NETWORK (Covid-19)

The Lille University Hospital developped a research objective common to all the services which took care of patients, "suspected patient", "possible case", "probable case" or "confirmed case" infected with SARS-CoV-2 by constituting a prospective and a retrospective observational cohort which allowed pooling and sharing the resources and data collected. In the next two years the prospective cohort will allow to continue inclusions in a standardized way mainly for the constitution of a negative control group (excluded cases), to collect biological samples which had not been collected in the retrospective cohort so that the pathophysiology of the COVID-19 will be better apprehended as for example the inflammatory response to the viral infection. Finally in case of a second epidemic wave in the Hauts De France, it seems essential to have a defined research protocol which had already received all the necessary authorizations to guarantee cutting-edge (or quality ) research in a center like the Lille University Hospital.The aim objective of this study is to identify predictive factors of mortality to day 28 infection to SARS-CoV-2 for patients under medical care for the COVID-19 in the Lille University Hospital thanks to the constitution of an epidemiological, clinical, biological, immunological, genetic, microbiological, anatomopathologic, radiological, therapeutic database and so record the results of functional exploration exams.

Prevention, Efficacy and Safety of BCG Vaccine in COVID-19 Among Healthcare Workers

In Mexico the total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 is 232, 000 and 28,510 deaths. Health workers are at high risk of COVID-19 infection. 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.

Novel Agents for Treatment of High-risk COVID-19 Positive Patients

This is a multi-arm, phase II trial for rapid efficacy and toxicity assessment of multiple therapies immediately after COVID19 positive testing in high-risk individuals. Therapies include stand-alone or combination treatment with hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, ivermectin, or camostat mesilate, artemesia annua. The hypothesis of this study is that the addition of agents that inhibit viral entry or replication of SARS-CoV-2 virus replication in will be devoid of additional moderate to severe toxicities, will prevent clinical deterioration, and will improve viral clearance in high risk individuals.
