Trial summary

On 17th March 2020, 198 193 confirmed cases (7 730 in France) of COVID-19 infections and 7 854 deaths (175 in France) have been reported from 8th December 2019 in 157 countries. The rapid increase in cases on french territory has led to the transition of France to level 3 of the epidemic on 14th March 2020. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Cohort of Patients Infected With SARS-CoV2 or Suspected of Being (COVID-19 in Ile-de-France)

On 17th March 2020, 198 193 confirmed cases (7 730 in France) of COVID-19 infections and 7 854 deaths (175 in France) have been reported from 8th December 2019 in 157 countries. The rapid increase in cases on french territory has led to the transition of France to level 3 of the epidemic on 14th March 2020.

The natural history of the disease is still poorly understood, especially prognostic factors, which are crucial for the best medical care of patients in times of epidemics, when hospital capacities are under pressure.

A better knowledge of natural history, of prognostic factors, the development and validation of new diagnostic tests, the evaluation of medical care, will lead to a better medical care of patients infected with COVID-19.

Read the detailed description

The principal goal of the research is to assess the prognostic factors of the progression toward severe forms of the COVID-19 infection.

The secondary aims of the study are to contribute to answer some of the WHO research priority goals on COVID-19 infections:

  • description of the natural history of the disease, its different forms, its clinical characterisation, its progression profile, the natural history of the disease linked to patient profiles
  • evaluation and to comparison of different diagnostic methods, linked to the medical case
  • description of the progression of the immune response during the infection and related to its outcome
  • description of the replication and the excretion of the virus
  • description of the progression of the biological markers during the infection and related to its outcome
  • identification of the prognostic factors of the evolutive profile, especially if negative
  • description of the patients care
  • evaluation of the impact of the different therapeutic managements on the clinical outcome, the immune response, the viral load and the biomarkers.
  • modeling of the epidemiologic impact
  • identification of targets for treatment development
  • analysis of cost data linked to the progression The population will include all patients infected with SARS-CoV2 ou suspected of being, who are taken care of at hospital.

The research is based on the collection of clinical and biological data from routine cares and on the biological analysis of blood samples.

The principal goal of the COVI-BIOME ancillary study is to identify gastrointestinal predictive factors for a severe form of the COVID-19 infection.

The principal goal of the COVIDOG ancillary study is to evaluate the sensibility and the specificity of canine olfactory detection for the volatile organic compounds of SARS-CoV2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing blood samples, feces samples (COVI-BIOME ancillary study) and sweat samples (COVIDOG ancillary study) in people with 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 21 Sep 2026. 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?

Identification of prognostic factors for progression to a severe form of COVID-19 infection (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT04352348, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Sep 2026.
