Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in extravascular lung water index (EVLWi)
Assessed by transpulmonary thermodilution Transpulmonary thermodilution systems, part of the standard management in ICU, allow a direct evaluation of vascular hyperpermeability in the lungs using thermodilution technique. EVLWi is a reliable parameter, independently associated with mortality during ARDS

Secondary Outcome Measures

Evolution of daily extravascular lung water index (EVLWi)
measured by transpulmonary thermodilution during 7 days
Evolution of daily cardiac index
measured by transpulmonary thermodilution during 7 days
Evolution of global end-diastolic volume index
measured by transpulmonary thermodilution during 7 days
Evolution of pulmonary vascular permeability index
measured by transpulmonary thermodilution during 7 days
Overall survival
Mortality rate in ICU and in hospital
Rate of withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatments decision
Daily weight
Daily fluid balance
Evolution of albuminemia
Evolution of blood biological criteria (g/L)
Duration of mechanical ventilation
Proportion of participants alive and off invasive mechanical ventilation
Evolution of Murray ARDS severity score
Evolution of radiological Weinberg score
Scale from 0 to 12 better with higher score indicating more severe radiological pulmonary severity
Evolution of pulmonary Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) score.
Scale from 0 to 4 betterwith higher score indicating more severe pulmonary disease
Rate of rescue therapy with Veino-veinous V-ECMO
Evolution of SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) score
Scale from 0 to 24, lower is better.
Organ failure free days
one or more SOFA sub-score >=3
Renal replacement therapy free days
Duration of renal replacement therapy free days
Nature and frequency of adverse events
Evolution of FX06 concentration
measured at day 1 at time 0 (before FX06 application) and after 5, 15, 30, 60 min
Immunogenicity (antibody against FX06) induced by the drug, performed by ELISA according to manufacturer's procedure
A test for immunogenicity will be performed on a serum sample at day 7 (2 days after the end of treatment administration) to detect any antibody against FX06. The assay will consist in a three-fold procedure, as recommended by the manufacturer. An initial screening assay will qualitatively measure antibodies to FX06. Samples deemed positive will be subject to a confirmatory assay, which will determine the specificity of the detected antibody against FX06. The third tier of the assay will consist in titre analysis to semi-quantitatively assess the antibody response.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Vascular leakage following endothelial injury, responsible for interstitial and alveolar edema, is a major feature of pathogen induced acute lung injury. As acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to pandemic Covid-19 is associated with more than 60% mortality, controlling vascular leakage may be a major target to decrease the mortality associated with the spreading of the disease in France. FX06, a drug under clinical development containing fibrin-derived peptide beta15-42, is able to stabilize cell-cell interactions, thereby reducing vascular leak and mortality in several animal models, particularly during lipopolysaccharide-induced and dengue hemorrhagic shock . A phase I study was conducted in humans, with no specific adverse event detected with a dose up to 17.5 mg/kg. In a phase II randomized multicentre double-blinded trial in 234 patients suffering from ST+ acute coronary syndrome, FX06 treated patients exhibited a 58% decrease in the early necrotic core zone. Importantly, adverse events were highly comparable between groups, indicating a high safety profile for the drug . Lastly, the drug was used as a salvage therapy in a patient exhibiting a severe ARDS following EBOLA virus infection . Altogether, those data indicate that FX06 is well tolerated in humans and is a potent regulator of vascular leakage. Our hypothesis here is that FX06 may decrease pulmonary vascular hyperpermeability during ARDS following SARS-CoV-2 infection, thereby improving gas exchanges and the outcome of infected patients.
