Covid19 Clinical Trial
— CHARTER-IrlOfficial title:
Can Nebulised HepArin Reduce acuTE Lung Injury in Patients With SARS-CoV-2 Requiring Respiratory Support in Ireland
The investigators present a randomised open label phase Ib/IIa trial of nebulised unfractionated heparin to evaluate the effect of nebulised unfractionated heparin on the procoagulant response in ICU patients with SARS-CoV-2 requiring advanced respiratory support. As this is one of the first studies of nebulised heparin in COVID 19 lung disease the investigators will assess safety as a co-primary outcome.

Eligibility | Inclusion Criteria: To be eligible, a patient must satisfy all these inclusion criteria: 1. Confirmed or suspected COVID-19. Note, if 'suspected', results must be pending or testing intended 2. Ability to obtain informed consent/assent to participate in study 3. Age 18 years or older 4. Requiring high flow nasal oxygen or positive pressure ventilator support or invasive mechanical ventilation for a time period of no greater than 48 hours 5. D-dimers > 200 ng/ml 6. PaO2 to FIO2 ratio less than or equal to 300 7. Acute opacities on chest imaging affecting at least one lung quadrant. Note 'Acute opacities' do not include effusions, lobar/lung collapse or nodules 8. Currently in a higher level of care area designated for inpatient care of patients where therapies including non-positive pressure ventilatory support can be provided. Exclusion criteria To be eligible, a patient must have none of these exclusion criteria: 1. Enrolled in another clinical trial that is unapproved for co-enrolment 2. Heparin allergy or heparin-induced thrombocytopaenia 3. APTT > 100 seconds 4. Platelet count < 50 x 109 per L 5. Pulmonary bleeding, which is frank bleeding in the trachea, bronchi or lungs with repeated haemoptysis or requiring repeated suctioning 6. Uncontrolled bleeding 7. Pregnant or suspected pregnancy (Urine or serum HCG will be recorded) 8. Receiving or about to commence ECMO or HFOV 9. Myopathy, spinal cord injury, or nerve injury or disease with a likely prolonged incapacity to breathe independently e.g. Guillain-Barre syndrome 10. Usually receives home oxygen 11. Dependent on others for personal care due to physical or cognitive decline (pre-morbid status) 12. Death is imminent or inevitable within 24 hours 13. The clinical team would not be able to set up the study nebuliser and ventilator circuit as required including with active humidification 14. Clinician objection. 15. The use or anticipated use of nebulised tobramycin during this clinical episode 16. Any other specific contraindication to anticoagulation including prophylactic anticoagulation not otherwise listed here 17. Relapse in clinical condition in patient that had fully weaned from advanced respiratory support 18. Any systemic anticoagulation other than prophylactic anticoagulation |
