Clinical Trial Summary

Background:The impact of the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants on the severity and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 is controversial. Whether virological characteristics including the mutational patterns of the different viral proteins (e.g., Spike, NSP proteins, ORF6) could be associated with a different immune response and subsequent severity of the disease is unknown. ln the next coming months, new variants carrying the same or new mutational patterns will continue to emerge. Monitoring their dynamics over time and their impact on disease severity is required for refining national and international disease control policies. Main objective: To unravel the relationships between specific viral mutations/mutational patterns and the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 in patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs) for acute respiratory failure following severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. Design of the study Prospective multicentre observational cohort study Schedule for the study: Inclusion period: 24 months; Participation period: 28 days ; Total duration : 24 months + 28 days;


Clinical Trial Description

Background:The impact of the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants on the severity and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 is controversial. Preliminary studies estimated that the probability of death associated with variant of concern (VOC) B.1.1.7, the UK variant, is 55% higher than that associated with pre-existing variants. However, no difference has been found in another study. In Brazil, infection with VOC P1 has been suggested to be associated with an increased case fatality rate in young adults. The effect of other "variants of concern" (Beta, B.1.351; Delta, B.1.617.2, or the most recent Omicron variants) or "variants of interest" (A27, B.1.525, etc.) on the severity of the disease and the prognosis of severe forms is unknown. More generally, whether virological characteristics including the mutational patterns of the different viral proteins (e.g., Spike, NSP proteins, ORF6) could be associated with a different immune response and subsequent severity of the disease is unknown. ln the next coming months, new variants carrying the same or new mutational patterns will continue to emerge in different geographic areas, as a result of the collective immune pressure induced by natural infection and vaccination. Monitoring their dynamics over time and their impact on disease severity is required for refining national and international disease control policies. In this project, a large prospective multicenter observational cohort promoted by the Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) will be conducted, to understand the effect of SARS-CoV-2 genetic variability on the outcome of COVID-19 disease in patients with severe illness. The study will include critically ill patients hospitalized for acute respiratory failure/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) associated with COVID-19. The objective of the work will be to characterize the SARS-CoV-2 variants found in this population over time, and to identify and phenotypically characterize specific mutations/mutational patterns associated with the different clinical outcomes (primary clinical endpoint defined as mortality at day-28). The impact of the mutations on viral infectivity, sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies and ability to induced cytokine production will be assessed in vitro and ex-vivo respectively, in appropriate models available in the laboratory. Further to full-length viral genome sequencing, our in-house shotgun metagenomics method will be used to characterize the effect of SARS-CoV-2 variations on respiratory transcriptomic expression profiles and the relationship with the clinical evolutionary profiles.
