About this study

Current data in the literature demonstrate that the immune response to CoV-2-SARS is much more complex than initially assumed. In fact, beyond the humoral response, including the existence of neutralizing CAs, the adaptive lymphocyte T-type immune response also appears to play an important role in controlling the infection and reducing the severity of the disease. At this stage, the analysis of this T response is still rudimentary and underdeveloped, but it seems crucial to be able to analyze it effectively in COVID-19 patients, which could help predict the evolution of the infection. It is also currently difficult to know the evolution of this response over time and especially after the resolution of the infection.

To this end, we will analyze the T lymphocyte response (ELISPOT and QUANTIFERON) based on the secretion of IFN (Th1) and IL-4 (Th2) by CoV-2-SARS specific T cells from COVID-19 patients. We will compare the T response to the quality of the systemic and mucosal humoral response. Finally, we will evaluate in parallel two new biomarkers of the severity of COVID-19: plasma calprotectin and the presence of antibodies to type 1 IFN antibodies.

What is being measured

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

  1. T cell immune response

    Characterize T-cell immune response in patient with COVID 19 infection

    Measured: from baseline to 18 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. B cell immune response

    Characterize B-cell immune response in patient with COVID 19 infection

    Measured: from baseline to 18 months

  2. Platelet immune response

    Characterize platelet immune response in patient with COVID 19 infection

    Measured: from baseline to 18 months

  3. Immune response and chronic forms

    Determine if there is a correlation between the pattern of immune response and the risk of reinfection or with persistence of symptoms in chronic forms of COVID-19.

    Measured: from baseline to 18 months

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted1 Dec 2020
  2. Study start9 Mar 2021
  3. Primary completion26 Sep 2022
  4. Study completion11 Dec 2023

Why it stopped: The development and generalisation of vaccination led to a significant drop in the number of patients meeting the inclusion criteria.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid19, 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 9 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: The development and generalisation of vaccination led to a significant drop in the number of patients meeting the inclusion criteria.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

T cell immune response (time frame: from baseline to 18 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 20 Dec 2023.
