Who may be able to join

  • Non-critically ill patients hospitalized in the COVID-19 Unit of the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace of Monaco
  • Presenting with a sudden clinical deterioration defined by a respiratory rate impairment and/or a rise of oxygen flow to reach a peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) of more than 95% during at least 48 hours
  • a diagnosis of pulmonary embolism was discarded by CT pulmonary angiography
  • no clinical or biological (procalcitonin levels) evidence of lung superinfection
  • without clinical evidence for LV dysfunction

Who cannot join

  • Non confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia according to the WHO guidance by a positive result of RT-PCR assay of nasal and pharyngeal swabs,
  • Patients without peripheral pulmonary ground-glass opacities or air-space consolidation on their chest CT scan at admission and common laboratory findings including lymphocytopenia, eosinopenia, significantly elevated markers of organ inflammation such as fibrinogen and C-reactive protein.
  • Patients could not be included if their medical condition was unstable or precluded a safe transfer to the nuclear medicine department, if they were under mechanical ventilation (either non-invasive or invasive), if they required critical care unit, or in case of a pregnancy.

About this study

Official title: Microvascular Injury With Secondary Edema, and Distal Peripheral Vascular Thrombosis Contribution to Clinical Deterioration of Non-critically Ill Patients Hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 Pneumonia Without Evidence of Pulmonary Embolism: a Preliminary Prospective Observational Study

Investigators aimed to better understand the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia in non-critically ill hospitalized patients secondarily presenting with clinical deterioration and increase in oxygen requirement

Read the detailed description

Investigators plan to consecutively enrol 25 patients without clinical or biological evidence for superinfection, without left ventricular dysfunction and for whom a pulmonary embolism was discarded by computed tomography pulmonary angiography. Investigators will investigate lung ventilation and perfusion (LVP) by LVP scintigraphy, and, 24 hours later, left and right ventricular function by 99mTc-labelled albumin gated-blood-pool scintigraphy with late (60 mn) tomographic albumin images on the lungs to evaluate lung albumin retention that could indicate microvascular injuries with secondary edema

Being tested
lung ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy
Keywords
lung thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, lung scintigraphy, alveolar albumin uptake
Medical subject headings
COVID-19, Pulmonary Embolism

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • lung ventilation/perfusion scintigraphyDiagnostic test

    Also called Chest CT-scan, CT pulmonary angiography, 99mTc-albumin gated-blood-pool scintigraphy

    Chest CT-scan will be performed with blocked inspiration.

    Lung ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy imaging will be performed within 24hrs after CT pulmonary angiography, 410MBq of Technegas will be inhaled by patients and ventilation tomography performed thereafter. Then, 185MBq 99mTc-macroaggegates will be injected intravenously followed by the perfusion tomography.

    A combined CT acquisition will be performed.

    The day following lung ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy, 740MBq of Tc99m labeled albumin will be intravenously administered.

    Cardiac gated-blood-pool scintigraphy will be then performed in best septal left anterior oblique and left profile according to specific parameters.

    45-60 min after injection, a non-gated tomographic acquisition over the lungs will be done, with the same parameters than for PS SPECT, resulting in a late albumin acquisition.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Scintigraphic pattern of peripheral lung thrombosis

    Determination of the number of patients/pulmonary segments with scintigraphic pattern of peripheral lung thrombosis on the basis of a mismatch between normal ventilation and abnormal perfusion

    Measured: During hospitalization

  2. Pulmonary microvascular injury

    Determination of the number of patients/pulmonary segments with evidence for microvascular injury on the basis of a lung 99mTc albumin retention, calculated as albumin uptake normalized by the macro-aggregates perfusion uptake

    Measured: During hospitalization

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Prognosis evolution at 15 days

    Determination of prognosis using categorical variables: worsening or stability vs improvement in the 15 following days, delay to the recovery of a 95% or more SpO2 in ambient air below vs above 15 days, hospitalization duration below vs above 15 days

    Measured: 15 days after hospitalization

  2. CT abnormalities prognostic value

    The prognostic value of the extent of CT abnormalities, a right ventricular ejection fraction below vs above 50%, a significant albumin uptake (AI/PI) above or equal to 1.7, and the presence and/or number of paradoxically hypoventilated and hypoperfused normal segments will be evaluated by Fisher's exact test and Mann Whitney U test

    Measured: 15 days after hospitalization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of SARS-CoV-2 Infection, run by Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace at 1 site in Monaco.

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 23 Mar 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 Monaco. 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?

Scintigraphic pattern of peripheral lung thrombosis (time frame: During hospitalization). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04990505, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Mar 2022.
