About this study

Official title: Study of the Dissemination of SARS-COV-2 in the Environment of Infected Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Unit

The objective of this protocol is to estimate the proportion of patients hospitalized in intensive care unit for a SARS-Cov-2 viral lung infection and contaminating their environment at 1 meter. The contamination will be assessed by quantifying the viral RNA by RT-PCR on a 600-liter air sample aspirated by a Coriolis® system. This sample will be taken within 48 hours after the confirmation of SARS-Cov-2 infection, documented by RT-PCR. In fact, the hospital hygiene measures practiced in intensive care unit in patients with viral respiratory infection are identical to those practiced in other services. These measures are possibly insufficient as evidenced by recent data related to the COVID-19 epidemic.

Read the detailed description

Respiratory viruses are frequently responsible for acute respiratory failure which justifies hospitalization in intensive care unit. Actually, recent epidemics of emerging viruses (including COVID-19) have highlighted the possibility of air-type transmission in this specific population. Despite the fact that the risk of environmental contamination has never been objectified, It is probable that in intensive care patients, this contamination is greater than in other patients because of the gravity of the patients (greater inoculum) and the use of ventilation techniques responsible for probably increased exhaled viral expression. Defining the mode of transmission of respiratory viruses has major consequences in terms means of prevention. The "air" mode of transmission absolutely requires hospitalization in a single room and sometimes additional air treatment. The droplet transmission mode due to its short range requires simpler measures (wearing a surgical mask, no specific air treatment) and has also led to the discussion of the value of the individual room. Indeed, the use of high flow ventilation system such as "optiflow" or non-invasive ventilation, can transform a droplet risk into "air" risk. For this reason, measuring the extent of environmental contamination around infected patients in intensive care is a major issue.

What is being measured

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

  1. Estimate the proportion of patients hospitalized in intensive care for a SARS-Cov-2 viral lung infection and contaminating their environment at 1 meter.

    The primary objective of the study will be evaluated by the proportion of patients contaminating the air 1 meter from their face.

    The contamination will be assessed by quantifying the viral RNA by RT-PCR on a 600-liter air sample aspirated by a Coriolis® system. This sample will be taken within 48 hours after the confirmation of SARS-Cov-2 infection, documented by RT-PCR.

    Measured: within 48 hours of the confirmation of SARS-Cov-2 infection documented by RT-PCR

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid-19 and Viral Infection, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 3 sites 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yacine TANDJAOUI-LAMBIOTTE, Dr (06 64 17 19 36 ext. +33, yacine.tandjaoui-lambiotte@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Estimate the proportion of patients hospitalized in intensive care for a SARS-Cov-2 viral lung infection and contaminating their environment at 1 meter. (time frame: within 48 hours of the confirmation of SARS-Cov-2 infection documented by RT-PCR). 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 24 Apr 2020.
