Treatment of Respiratory Complications Associated With COVID19,Influenza ,Metapneumovirus,RSV Infection Using ProTrans®
COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Influenza A, Metapneumovirus Pneumonia
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female, aged 18 - 75 years old
- Has laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection as determined by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in any specimen prior to inclusion.
- Hospitalized patients not previously admitted due to COVID-19 infection
- Patients classified as severe pneumonia, as defined by the need for continuous supplemental oxygen 5 L/min 02 OR high flow oxygen, 50% Fraction of Inspired Oxyge (FiO2) ≥ 30 l/min and cannot saturate > 96% not under "non-invasive" ventilation nor invasive mechanical ventilation nor ECMO
- Women of childbearing potential must agree to use contraception or acceptable birth control for the duration of the study.
Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation 1:
- oral
- intravaginal
- transdermal, progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation 1:
- oral
- injectable
implantable 2; intrauterine device (IUD) 2, intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) 2, bilateral tubal occlusion 2, vasectomised partner 2,3, sexual abstinence 4
- Hormonal contraception may be susceptible to interaction with the Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP), which may reduce the efficacy of the contraception method
- Contraception methods that in the context of this guidance are considered to have low user dependency.
Vasectomised partner is a highly effective birth control method provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the trial participant and that the vasectomised partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success. 4 In the context of this guidance sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatments. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject.
- Provision of a written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Inability to provide informed consent
- Patients not expected to survive for 24 hours or mechanically ventilated at inclusion or previously during present hospitalization
- Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) laboratory test
- Patients with weight > 100 kg or weight < 50 kg
- Patients with known, or previous, malignancy
- Patients with other serious systemic diseases deemed of contra-indication by the physician
- Patient with any of following laboratory results out of the ranges detailed below at screening: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≤ 1.0 x 10e9/L, Platelets (PLT) < 50 10e9 /L, ASAT or ALAT > 5N, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min
- Current documented bacterial infection
- Serological evidence of infection with human immunodeficiency virus, Treponema pallidum, hepatitis B antigen (serology consistent with previous vaccination and a history of vaccination is acceptable) or hepatitis C
- Latent or previous as well as on-going therapy against tuberculosis, or exposed to tuberculosis or have travelled in areas with high risk of tuberculosis or mycosis within the last 3 months
- Patients with known allergies to a component of the ProTrans® product
- Ongoing treatment with Remdesivir
- Pre-existing chronic respiratory diseases requiring long- term oxygen therapy
- Pre-existing cirrhosis with basal Child and Pugh of C
- Patients with history of increased risk for thrombo- embolic and/or co-morbidity for thrombo- embolism
- Patients with a history of myocardium infarction
- A history of cardiac dysfunction, as assessed as:
Clinical sign of a congestive heart failure refractory; Left ventricular ejection fraction <35% at myocardial scintigraphy or echocardiography; Pulmonary arterial hypertension with systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) at echography > 40 mmHg Chronic atrial fibrillation requiring oral anticoagulant therapy; Uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia; Pericardial effusion with hemodynamic compromise assessed by echocardiography.
