Clinical Trial Summary

The investigator hypothesizes that oxidative stress responses to West Nile virus infection in the central nervous system determine the severity of infection and the long-term neurological, neuropsychological and functional sequelae of West Nile Neuroinvasive Disease.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Measure the redox status A multiparameter indexes of oxidative stress will be calculated to measure and summarize the redox status in cases and age matched controls. Association between the redox status and clinical, neuropsychological and radiological outcomes will be investigated. We will also examine the relative sensitivity of separate biomarkers of oxidative stress and autophagy as clinical predictors of WNV infection severity. at recruitment, 10 days post-symptom onset and 20 days post symtom onset.
Primary Assessment of Neurologic deficits As part of the descriptive analysis of biomarkers of disease severity and to study to neurologic sequelae of WNV infection. Will be assessed: specifically assessments of cranial nerves II- XII, motor strength in upper and lower extremities, sensory testing for pinprick and vibration, deep tendon reflexes, gait, coordination, and movement abnormalities At recruitment, month 3 and month 12
Primary Neuropsychologic performance Study the neuropsychologic sequelae of WNV infection during a 12-month followup period in following key domains: Attention, Memory, Executive Function, Emotion & Social Cognition, Psychomotor Speed 20 days post-symtom onset, month 3 and month 12
Primary Longitudinal assessment of functional status Study the neurologic and neuropsychologic sequelae of WNV infection during a 12-month followup period. ECOG/WHO PS during a 12-month followup. at recruitment, month 3 and month 12
Primary MRI abnormalities Part of descriptive analysis of clinical markers of disease severity at recruitment, month 3 and month 12
Primary Brain iron content Part of the descriptive analysis of clinical markers of disease severity: Qualitative analysis per neuroanatomical region by iron-sensitive MRI sequence (SWI) at recruitment, month 3 and month 12
Primary Ophthalmological abnormalities As part of the descriptive analysis of clinical markers of disease severity ophthalmologic abnormalities will be assessed by slit lamp examination at recruitment, with a follow-up of clinically indicated.
Primary serum S100b concentration As part of the descriptive analysis of clinical markers of disease severity S100b concentration will be measured to asses the Blood-Brain barrier integrity at recruitment, 10 days post symptom onset and 20 days post symptom onset
Primary serum NSE concentration As part of the descriptive analysis of clinical markers of disease severity NSE concentration will be measured to asses the Blood-Brain barrier integrity at recruitment, 10 days post symptom onset and 20 days post symptom onset
Secondary Analysis of laboratory performance characteristics (e.g. sensitivity) of WNV-specific RT-PCR and viral isolation in clinical samples, compared to composite diagnosis of WNV infection Confirmed WNV infection is defined as one or more of following criteria:
Seroconversion of anti-WNV IgG antibodies (Indirect immunofluorescence testing (IIFT) Flavivirus 2, Euroimmun®, Lübeck, Germany) in convalescent serum (20 days after symptom onset) (all participants)
4-fold increase of anti-WNV IgG antibodies in convalescent serum, compared to the screening sample (IIFT).
Anti-WNV IgM antibody detection (ELISA) in CSF* (at VBH) (*CSF sampled only when clinically indicated).
Positive WNV-specific RT-PCR result in serum, urine or CSF in samples obtained at screening.
Virus isolation by outgrowth assay in samples obtained at screening
20 days
Secondary Description of molecular epidemiology of infecting WNV strain(s) and viral outgrowth diagnostic performance. The time frame for WNV detection after symptom onset by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or virus isolation by outgrowth from blood or CSF is limited by the fast decline of circulating virus. Because the WNV RNA detection window in urine can be longer (up to 14 days), RT-PCR will be performed on all clinical samples at recruitment. The target sequences are a conserved region in the 5'UTR region and part of the capsid gene of WNV and detects both lineage 1 and 2 WNV. WNV has been successfully isolated from urine, in approx. 40% of samples obtained within 8 days of symptom onset. WNV isolation will be attempted in low-passage Vero E6 cells and BHK21 cells from urine samples with a high WNV RNA load (Cycle threshold (Ct)- values <30). 20 days
Secondary Identification of potential genetic signatures that correlate with virulence (neuro-invasion and morbidity) in our cohort. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) will be performed on a subset of RT-PCR positive serum, urine and CSF samples. This will allow us to investigate the temporal and spatial compartmentalization of the West Nile lineages in Romania as well as expand our understanding of genetic compartmentalization within hosts (urine, serum, CSF). In addition, the obtained isolates will be sequenced (from the viral outgrowth assay) to assess potential adaptations the virus undergoes during isolation. Finally, in a genome wide association study, the obtained viral sequences will be compared with the prospectively collected clinical data, to identify potential genetic signatures that correlate with virulence, neuroinvasion and morbidity. Our data will be compared to existing data on genetic determinants of virulence such as the presence of a glycosylation site in the E protein, substitutions in non-structural proteins 3, 4B or 5, or variation in the 3' noncoding region. 20 days
