About this study

Official title: Prediction of Clinical Course in COVID19 Patients Using Unsupervised Classification Approaches of Clinical, Biological and the Multiparametric Signature of the Chest CT Scan Performed at Admission

In the context of the COVID19 pandemic and containment, chest CT is currently frequently performed on admission, looking for suggestive signs and basic abnormalities of COVID19 compatible viral pneumonitis pending confirmation of identification of viral RNA by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction(PCR), with a reported sensitivity of 56-88% in the first few days, slightly higher than PCR (60%) (1). Nevertheless, currently established radiological abnormalities are not specific for COVID19 and the specificity of the chest CT is ~25% when PCR is used as a reference (1). Deconfinement and its consequences will complicate the triage of COVID patients and the role of the scanner, with the expected impact of a decrease in the prevalence of infection in the emergency department and an increase in the number of "all-round" patients, including patients with non-COVID viral infiltrates or pneumopathies.

In addition, there are currently no imaging criteria to complement the clinical and biological data that can predict the progression of lung disease from the initial data.

Read the detailed description

In image processing, computational medical imaging has demonstrated its ability to predict a therapeutic response or a particular evolution after extracting relevant anatomical, functional or even non-visually perceptible information from the volume of images, making it possible to construct a powerful radiomic signature or to use robust anatomical/functional measurements to provide estimates of ventilation or vascular state. By combining these data extracted from the scanner with the standard clinical-biological data produced at admission during triage, our ambition is to build a predictive model using unsupervised classification approaches capable of helping predict clinical evolution with the aim of optimizing the management of the resource.

What is being measured

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

  1. diagnostic of COVID disease composite

    The diagnostoc of COVID disease is composite of:

    • CT features wich will include presence/location/laterality of morphological CT abonormal densities (ground glass opacities, consolidations, reticulations),
    • pulmonary vessels size,
    • distribution and abnormalities,
    • local / global CT-ventilation index (CT-VI) severity,
    • radiomic features (shape features, 1st-order and 2nd order statistics)

    Analysis of CT-Scan results.

    Measured: On admission to the hospital

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COVID 19, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne 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 17 Nov 2021. 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?

diagnostic of COVID disease composite (time frame: On admission to the hospital). 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 17 Nov 2021.
