About this study
Official title: Post COVID-19 Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Residual Pathophysiologic Outcomes
This is a 48-week, observational study looking to see if the inflammatory process of hypoxemic respiratory failure associated with COVID-19 leads to progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Inpatient, as well as outpatient adults with recent COVID-19 hospitalization will be recruited. Data from hospitalization will be collected and subjects will return to the center for follow-up visits. Subjects will undergo the following procedures: High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) of the chest, Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT), Muscle Strength Measurement, and blood draw for biomolecular data such as biomarkers found in ribonucleic acid (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), serum, and plasma. Quality of Life (QoL) measurements will also be collected through the study.
Read the detailed description
This is a multi-center, observational, and prospective study collecting data on subjects who were hospitalized with hypoxemic respiratory failure associated with COVID-19 or patients who have evidence of an outpatient COVID-19 infection that have been treated with supplemental oxygen.
A total of approximately 300 subjects will be enrolled in the study. Subjects will be enrolled into one of 3 cohorts.
Cohort 1: Inpatient Enrollment: Subjects enrolled while hospitalized for COVID-19, prior to discharge.
Cohort 2: Outpatient Enrollment: Subjects enrolled up to 4 weeks after discharge from hospitalization for COVID-19 or 4 weeks post their outpatient COVID -19 infection.
Cohort 3: Outpatient Enrollment: Subjects enrolled between 6 and 24 weeks after discharge from hospitalization for COVID-19 or 6 and 24 weeks post their outpatient COVID -19 infection. Cohort 3 will be sub-divided into 3a and 3b depending on the timepoint of enrollment.
After signing the Informed Consent Form, the screening visit will be performed. Screening and enrollment can occur at Visit 0 (inpatient) or Visit 1 (outpatient). Following completion of Visit 0 or 1 the subjects' data will be assessed by the investigator to confirm eligibility and a decision will be made if the patient is to be enrolled. If not the reason for non-enrollment will be listed in the trial log.
Each subject will either have a total of 4 or 5 visits, depending on if subjects complete enrollment while still admitted to the hospital (Visit 0) or at Visit 1. At weeks 4, 24, 36, 48, all subjects will complete questionnaires, have physical exams, spirometry test with DLCO, HRCTs, 6MWTs, blood draws, and review of medical history since the previous visit.
The primary analysis of this study will be performed once the last enrolled subject reaches Week 48. At that time, there will be a data-base lock. Unless otherwise noted, Visit 1 is treated as baseline measurement. In addition, for patients enrolled at discharge, a second set of analysis will be performed treating Visit 0 as baseline for the measurements collected at Visit 0.
Aim 1: To identify whether the trajectory of COVID-19 associated respiratory failure results in progressive pulmonary fibrosis with clinical features or biomolecular changes.
Aim 2: To identify biomarkers that may indicate those patients at risk for developing a chronic fibrotic HRCT pattern that may go on to progression.

Nasal Swab COVID-19 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test (RT-PCR)Diagnostic test
If required by the local site's COVID-19 guidelines, subjects should have the COVID-19 RT-PCR Nasal Swab collected at the beginning of the visit or within 5 days prior to the scheduled visit.
Blood Samples for BiomarkersGenetic
Venous blood will be collected using pre-labeled tubes.
High Resolution Computed TomographyDiagnostic test
Subjects will have HRCTs at Visits 1, 2, 3, and 4. Inpatient HRCT scans will be collected during the baseline visit (V0 or V1)
Physical Exam and Vital SignsDiagnostic test
A complete physical exam, including height, weight, general appearance, neck, lungs, cardiovascular system, abdomen, extremities, and skin will be performed at Visit 1.A brief physical exam will be completed at subsequent visits, including weight, general appearance, lungs, cardiovascular symptoms, extremities, and other body systems pertinent to the participants health status, at the discretion of the investigator.
Blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation will be collected at all visits, prior to blood draws and after subjects have rested.
Medical Research Council Sum ScoreDiagnostic test
The Medical Research Council Sum Score (MRC-SS) is used globally to detect peripheral muscle strength and to help diagnose ICU-acquired muscle weakness. The MRC-SS ranging from 0 (complete paralysis) to 60 (normal).
Hand Grip StrengthDiagnostic test
Each subject will have hand grip strength measured at each visit. This is being done in order to assess the maximum isometric strength of hand and forearm muscles.
SpirometryDiagnostic test
Spirometry will be assessed at Visits 1, 2, 3 and 4. Each site will use its own spirometry machine. Each subject should use the same machine at each visit and conduct measurements at approximately the same time. Before any testing, the maneuver should be demonstrated to the subject. The spirometry should be reviewed by the investigator.
Diffusing Capacity of Carbon MonoxideDiagnostic test
The site will use its own DLCO equipment for measurements at Visits, 1, 2, 3, and 4. The Single-breath DLCO maneuver will be carried out in accordance with the 2017 American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) guidelines. Subjects should use the same device at approximately that same time at each visit. The maneuver should be demonstrated to the subject prior to the test.
6 Minute Walk TestDiagnostic test
The 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT) will assess exercise capacity and tolerance. 6MWTs will be conducted at Visits 1, 2, 3, and 4.
The procedure of the 6MWT should be explained and demonstrated to the subject prior to the start of the test.
Sit to Stand (STS) MeasurementDiagnostic test
The STS will be conducted at Visits 1, 2, 3, and 4 to assess the physical functioning of the adult participants.
