Trial summary

Cases of chilblains have been reported with an unusual frequency in France in the context of the COronaVirus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. Some of these cases have been linked to a virological status in favour of a recent Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Analysis of Chilblains Profile During COVID-19 Epidemic

Cases of chilblains have been reported with an unusual frequency in France in the context of the COronaVirus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. Some of these cases have been linked to a virological status in favour of a recent Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Chilblains are acral inflammatory lesion typically reactive to cold (primary form). There are secondary forms acquired during autoimmune connectivitis such as lupus chilblain or hereditary forms related to type I Interferonopathy. An interferon type I signature has been described in these secondary forms of frostbite but also during the cytokine storm of severe forms of CoV-2 SARS infection. If cases of frostbite are indeed secondary to an SARS-CoV-2 infection, comparative analysis of their immunopathological profiles could provide a better understanding of the inflammatory mechanisms during COVID-19.

What is being measured

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

  1. Study of the link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and chilblains observed during COVID-19 epidemics.

    Main Judgement Criterion Comparison between the proportion of patients with chilblains presenting a SARS-CoV-2 positive virological status and the estimated proportion of SARS-CoV-2 positive virological status in the general population.

    The SARS-CoV-2 positive virological status of patients with chilblains will be defined by :

    • SARS-CoV-2 Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) on a positive nasopharyngeal swab pre-inclusion.
    • And/or RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 on positive anal swab at D0
    • And/or RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 on skin bubble fluid positive at D0.
    • And/or RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 on skin biopsy positive at D0.
    • And/or SARS-CoV-2 serology positive at D0 and/or M1 and/or M2.

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (9)

    • Proportions of each of the biological characteristics detailed in the ACROVID data collection form in the Appendix.

    Measured: 2 months

    • Measurements of TCPO2 (expressed in mmHg) on the inter-metatarsal or metacarpal space of the two most affected toes or fingers.

    Measured: 2 months

  5. Comparison of the toe or Finger Pressure Index profiles of patients with chilblains according to their SARS-CoV-2 virological status (in case of overrepresentation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, the results will be given without comparison).

    Comparison between patients with chilblains with a positive SARS-CoV-2 status and patients with chilblains with a negative SARS-CoV-2 status (if there is an overrepresentation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, the results will be given without comparison):

    • Measurements of the toe or finger pressure index calculated as the ratio of the systolic toe or finger pressure measured on the most affected toe or finger (expressed in mmHg) and the average of the humeral systolic arterial pressure (SAP) measured per cuff on both arms (expressed in mmHg).

    Measured: 2 months

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 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?

Study of the link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and chilblains observed during COVID-19 epidemics. (time frame: 2 months). 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 29 Nov 2021.
