Trial summary

Severe SARS-CoV-2 disease is characterized by a progressive hypoxemic respiratory failure. Autopsies from these patients show severe endothelial damage with extensive vascular thrombosis, microangiopathy, and occlusion of alveolar capillaries and, finally, evidence of new vessel growth through intussusceptive… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Association of Endothelial Damage and Angiogenesis Biomarkers With Morbidity and Mortality in SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Severe SARS-CoV-2 disease is characterized by a progressive hypoxemic respiratory failure. Autopsies from these patients show severe endothelial damage with extensive vascular thrombosis, microangiopathy, and occlusion of alveolar capillaries and, finally, evidence of new vessel growth through intussusceptive angiogenesis.

This research aims to study endothelial damage and angiogenesis biomarkers and its association with major cardiovascular events.

Read the detailed description

To study the presence of endothelial damage and angiogenic biomarkers with major cardiovascular events, the investigators will perform an observational study to evaluate plasma biomarkers concentrations in Covid-19 patients hospitalized in critical care units.

After ethical review board approval, the investigators will select 40 patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU). After patient written consent or if the participants are unable to consent, after a relative subrogated acceptance, the investigators will collect blood samples in the first 24 hrs and on the 10th day of hospitalization.

Venous blood samples are collected. After obtaining all samples, serum Syndecan-1, thrombomodulin, ANG-2, FGF basic, HGF, IL-8, PDGF-BB, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TNFα y VEGF will be determined by a researcher blinded to the patient using commercially available Elisa kits. The concentration of each biomarker at each sample time will be compared. The investigators will observe clinical outcomes after one, 3, 6, and 12 months after the hospitalization.

The investigators found no previous data of this measurement in the COVID-19 scenario. In this observational study, the investigators select a sample size on convenience for the primary outcome.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid19 and Angiogenesis, run by University of Chile at 1 site in Chile.

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 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 25 Jul 2023. 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 Chile. 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?

Change from Baseline Syndecan-1 concentration at 10th day (time frame: 24 Hours, 10 Days). 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 NCT04609332, 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 25 Jul 2023.
