About this study

The specificity of the adaptive immune response (AIR), and its balance between effector T cells (Teffs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs), is most likely a major determinant of the outcome of a Covid-19 infection.

We aim to analyze (i) the cellular components and (ii) the specificity of the AIR to COVID-19 in 60 patients with moderate and severe form of the disease. This should have important implications for (i) understanding the pathophysiology of the disease, (ii) discovering biomarkers of severity and (iii) designing treatments and vaccines.

Read the detailed description

The quality of the adaptive immune response (AIR) to COVID-19 probably determines the course of the disease. Therefore, a comprehensive knowledge of the immune response to COVID-19 is required to better anticipate its outcome and identify vaccine targets. In particular, the quality of an AIR can be investigated by immunophenotyping (enumerating immune cells and assessing their fitness) and by analyzing the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire.

The cellular components of the AIR will be analyzed by a deep immunophenotyping generating >800 measures assessing immune cells quantitatively and qualitatively (Pitoiset et al.,2018). Combined with supervised and unsupervised analyses, it has the power to detect subtle/hidden abnormalities.

The specificity will be analyzed by studying the global T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of separated Tregs and Teffs from peripheral blood, as well as by single cell sequencing of cells from bronchoalveolar lavages.

These combined approaches should uncover parameters/abnormalities of the AIR linked to the infection severity and outcome, and lead to a better understanding of the nature of the Tregs and Teffs repertoires against COVID-19. This will have important implications for (i) understanding the pathophysiology of the disease, (ii) discovering biomarkers of severity and (iii) designing treatments and vaccines.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COVID-19, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

A list of COVID-19 specific TCR sequences (time frame: at day1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jun 2022.
