Filter by:Acute respiratory distress syndrome is an acute form of lung injury. The most commonly used classification criteria for this syndrome are Berlin's Criteria. The actual literature underlines the advantages of prone position in mild or severe forms of ARDS in association with invasive mechanical ventilation. The hypothesis of this study is to investigate the effective ventilation and perfusion modifications during pronation assessed with clinical parameters and with the aid of the electrical impedance tomography.
Study conducted on hospitalized patient in critical ill units in Nancy and Metz to evaluate if early corticosteroid treatment in first seven days after admission improve patients outcome in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome secondary to Covid-19 compared to later corticosteroid therapy or no treatment. Also comparison of acquired infection with or without corticosteroid treatment during hospitalisation.
The purpose of this study is to prove the efficacy and safety Surfactant-BL, administered by inhalation in adult hospitalized patients with ARDS due to COVID-19.
1. Title: Study of Biomarkers in Blood and Alveolar Lavage Fluid Samples of Sepsis Patients Complicated With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) 2. Research center: Single-center study. 3. Design of the research: A prospective and cohort study. 4. Object of the research: Patients（age≥18 years）those who meet the diagnostic criteria of sepsis complicated with ARDS and grouped into ARDS group and non-ARDS adults receiving mechanical ventilation as control. 5. Sample size of the research: Not less than 30 patients in each group. 6. Research approach: After admission to ICU, patients who meet the criteria are divided into mild group and moderate/severe group according to the severity of ARDS. In addition, blood and alveolar lavage fluid were collected within 24 hours for metabonomics analysis, and differential metabolites were screened out to prove the differentiation ability of differential metabolites between mild and moderate/severe ARDS patients. Then, MSEA and STITCH analysis were performed, and the relationship between different metabolites, HO-1 protein, oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in serum and alveolar lavage fluid were determined. And whether differential metabolites are associated with 28-day mortality in patients with moderate/severe ARDS. 7. Aim of the research: The metabolomics techniques were used to compare the differences between sepsis patients with mild ARDS and moderate/severe ARDS. And determine the relationship between different metabolites, HO-1 protein, oxidative stress and inflammatory markers, as well as the predictive effect of metabolites on 28-day mortality in patients. 8. Statistical analysis: Analytical study. 9. The estimated duration of the study：1-2 years.
Pandemic SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) respiratory infection is responsible for more than 4,000 deaths, mainly (67%) secondary to acute respiratory distress syndromes (ARDS). ARDS is usually associated with a mortality of around 40%, but this rate reaches 61% in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Two endotypes have been described in patients with ARDS: one, hyper-inflammatory, associated with very high mortality (51%); the second, slightly inflammatory (immunoparalysis), associated with much lower mortality (19%). In COVID-19 patients, distinct immune response profiles have also been observed. Some patients present deep lymphopenia and/or prolonged viral excretions associated with more frequent occurrence of co-infections (+ 29% of virus, + 23% of bacteria, + 10% of fungi). The latter group may be at higher risk in terms of mortality. The intensity of the inflammatory response and/or microbial coinfections therefore appear as risk factors for severity and mortality in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 which determine the course of the disease. To adapt early optimal therapeutic management to each forms of the disease, it is essential to be able to characterize these profiles on the microbiological and inflammatory level. With a committed network of 6 intensive-care units across eastern and northern Ile-de-France, 180 patients with ARDS and infected with SARS-CoV-2 are being enrolled. For these patients, a nasopharyngeal swab is collected at inclusion; followed by a new nasopharyngeal swab and a deep respiratory sample once a week, until D28, for an exploration of co-infections and for monitoring the viral load of SARS-CoV-2. The rest of each of these samples are collected for the study. In parallel, the clinical data usually collected in the context of intensive care will be collected on a CRF. They will allow to calculate risk scores such as SOFA.
This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo controlled, interventional phase 2A trial to evaluate the safety profile and potential efficacy of multi-dosing of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) for patients with SARS-CoV-2 associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). After informed consent, treatment assignment will be made by computer-generated randomization to administer either MSC or vehicle placebo control with a 2:1 allocation to the MSC: placebo arm.
This is a pilot phase, open label, non-randomized study for the treatment of ARDS in patients infected with COVID-19. Subjects will be enrolled and treated with one dose of mesenchymal stem cells and follow-up will occur 90 days post-treatment.
This is an open label, dose escalating safety study of the advanced therapy investigational medicinal product (ATIMP) KI-MSC-PL-205, where patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2-induced severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), according to the Berlin Definition, and who are on respirator/ventilator (used synonymously in this protocol) support due to respiratory insufficiency with or without concomitant circulatory problems, will be included and treated with a single dose of KI-MSC-PL-205.
This is a longitudinal, multi-center, observational study collecting diverse biological measurements and clinical and epidemiological data for the purpose of enabling a greater understanding of the onset of severe outcomes, primarily acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and/or mortality, in patients presenting to the hospital with suspicion or diagnosis of COVID-19. We seek to understand whether there are early signatures that predict progression to ARDS, mortality, and/or other comorbid conditions. The duration of the study participation is approximately 3 months.
The scientific community is in search for novel therapies that can help to face the ongoing epidemics of novel Coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) originated in China in December 2019. 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 SARS-CoV-2 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.
