About this study

Official title: PROVID-PROGRESS - Clinical, Molecular and Functional Biomarkers for PROgnosis, Pathomechanisms and Treatment Strategies of COVID-19

The aim of the joint project PROVID is to contribute to better outcome prediction for COVID-19 patients, to better clinical management, and to the development of new therapies. To this end, the investigators will collect detailed data on the course of COVID-19 patients and deeply characterize them at the molecular level. The investigators also aim to identify compounds with the potential to improve outcome.

The PROVID-PROGRESS study is being carried out as a prospective, longitudinal, multicenter observational study (case cohort study) with material asservation for genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analyzes on adult patients with COVID-19.

Read the detailed description

With COVID-19, severe lung damage can be associated with relative well-being. In the course of disease (several days), sudden lung failure may occur. While the lung initially shows a relatively high compliance after intubation, lung function deteriorates rapidly to severe ARDS in most patients. After intubation, patients require mechanical ventilation over a relatively long period of time (17 days on average).

To improve the clinical management of COVID-19 and its complications, there is an urgent need for clinical (e.g., scores) and molecular (e.g., biomarkers) predictors of COVID-19 progression and for new therapeutic targets. Advanced age and comorbidities have been identified as risk factors for fatal disease progression.

After study inclusion, comprehensive baseline documentation of anamnestic, clinical and laboratory data is collected on the same day if possible. In addition, all parameters are collected that may be necessary to assess the severity of a COVID-19 disease (e.g. SOFA, PSI, C (U) RB-65, ATS minor criteria). Furthermore, data is collected which, according to the current state of knowledge, may be suitable for an assessment of the prognosis of the COVID-19 disease. In particular, questions are asked about known infection risks (living environment of the patient, lifestyle, previous illnesses, immune competence), the history of symptoms and tests relating to COVID-19, preexisting medication, the familial risk of infection as well as ethnicity.

On the day of inclusion (day 0) and on study visit days 1-6 and 13 - or for discharge if this occurs before day 6 or day 13 after inclusion - routine laboratory values, score-relevant data, concomitant medication and microbiological findings are documented.

On discharge of the patient, additional information about his whereabouts is collected. If the patient dies, the date and cause of death are documented.

On days 28, 180 and 360 after inclusion in the study, a follow-up survey takes place with particular attention to the living conditions and quality of life of the patient (EuroQol health questionnaire EQ-5D-3L), to health-related events such as stroke or heart attack and to the vital status. If the patient cannot be reached for the follow-up questionnaires, the including study center will attempt to determine the current contact details or vital status from relatives, the family doctor or, if necessary, from data from the residents' registration offices or other state registers, provided that consent is given.

On study visit days 0, 1-3, 6 and 13, 4 blood samples each (P100 EDTA plasma, citrate plasma, serum and PAXgene RNA) are taken. A DNA sample (EDTA whole blood) is taken once and at any time.

A nasopharynx swab is obtained on days 0, 3 and 6. If possible, sputum is obtained for inclusion and on visit day 6.

What is being measured

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

  1. Severity of disease (number and rate of patients treated on intensive care unit or dead)

    Measured: Between enrollment and day thirteen

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Length of hospitalization

    Measured: From date of hospitalization until date of discharge or death, whichever came first, assessed up to 365 days

  2. length of ICU treatment

    Measured: From date of hospitalization until date of discharge or death, whichever came first, assessed up to 365 days

  3. length of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: From date of hospitalization until date of discharge or death, whichever came first, assessed up to 365 days

  4. Number and rate of patients with organ involvement (complications)

    Measured: From date of hospitalization until date of discharge or death, whichever came first, assessed up to 365 days

  5. Number and rate of patients with COVID-19-related long-term effects assessed by EQ-5D-3L questionnaire

    Measured: From date of hospitalization until day 365 after recruitment

  6. Number and rate of patients with changes in quality of life, assessed by EQ-5D-3L questionnaire

    Measured: From date one month before study enrolement in hospital until day 365 after recruitment

Individual data sharing
Yes: De-identified individual-level participant data along with the study protocol will be made available for qualified research on respiratory tract infections and immunology as defined by informed consent given by patients. Researchers may send a short research proposal for approval by the PROVID Board via progress-study-group@imise.uni-leipzig.de. A data access and use agreement needs to be signed. Provided data may be used only for approved purposes and for the duration agreed upon in the data access and use agreement. Data use applications will be accepted by the PROVID board after the study has finished and data quality has been assured.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COVID-19 Pneumonia, run by Charite University, Berlin, Germany at 5 sites in 2 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 20 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Germany, Austria. 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?

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?

Severity of disease (number and rate of patients treated on intensive care unit or dead) (time frame: Between enrollment and day thirteen). 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 Jul 2022.
