Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentIntervention Model Description: Dornase alfa will be administered by nebulization, at a dose of 2500 IU twice daily, 12 hours apart, for 7 consecutive days, using a vibrating mesh nebulizer. The remainder of the management will be performed in accordance with good practice, including mechanical ventilation (protective ventilation, PEEP > 5 cmH2O, tracheal balloon pressure checking every 4 hours or automatic device, 30° head of the bed elevation, tidal volume 6-8mL/kg, plateau pressure < 30cmH2O), neuromuscular blockers if necessary, prone position if PaO2/FiO2<150, early enteral nutrition, glycemic control, a sedation protocol based on the RASS score.tracheal balloon pressure checking every 4 hours or automatic device, 30° head of the bed elevation, tidal volume 6-8mL/kg, plateau pressure < 30cmH2O), neuromuscular blockers if necessary, prone position if PaO2/FiO2<150, early enteral nutrition, glycemic control, a sedation protocol based on the RASS score.Masking: Single (Participant)Primary Purpose: Treatment

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is the most severe form of COVID-19 with a mortality reaching 50%. To date, no specific therapy has been shown to be effective. During an acute viral respiratory infection, lungs are the site of an intense neutrophil recruitment. Recruited neutrophils generate NETs (extracellular neutrophil traps) in the alveoli and bronchioles. NETs have been shown to be involved in bronchoalveolar congestion and amplification of the inflammatory response during viral pneumonia responsible for ARDS. Deoxyribonuclease 1 (DNAse 1) is an enzyme capable of cutting apart extracellular DNA strands, the backbone of NETs. The administration of recombinant human DNAse 1 (dornase alfa) leads to the loosening of the broncho-alveolar mucus and to a reduction in the inflammatory response within the alveoli. By conducting a randomized, open-label, multicenter, controlled trial, our goal is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aerosolized intra-tracheal dornase alfa administration in mechanically ventilated patients hospitalized for COVID19-related ARDS. This is a randomized, controlled, multicentric, open-label clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dornase alfa administration aerosol, intensive care hospitalized patients with COVID19-related ARDS. The comparison of D7-D0 between the groups will be carried out using a linear regression fitted to the stratification factors.
