COVID-19 Clinical Trials and Expanded Access

In this project, we aimed at developing new "Ready-to-Use" inhalable forms of HCQ that can be used directly through nebulization or using dry powder inhalers (DPIs). These inhaled forms would allow a simple and direct delivery of the drug (HCQ) specifically towards the throat and the lung which are the main sites for the COVID-19 viral infection. Hence, the drug can be available at higher concentrations in the throat and lungs as compared with the currently used treatment protocols, while minimizing the drug systemic concentrations and its presence in other body organs, and thus enhancing the drug efficacy with significantly limiting its side effects. Besides, using inhalable forms can be more convenient to patients suffering from gastrointestinal complications from the disease that can limit the absorption of oral forms. Moreover, the proposed inhalable forms are designed in such a way to hide the drug from the immune system (confer stealth characteristics) using FDA-approved excipients to minimize/avoid any immune response towards the drug as was noted towards it in its oral form that's used in the treatment protocol of COVID-19. In addition, the inhaled formulations will be designed to maintain the overall simplicity and scalability of the preparation which is critical during this urgent pandemic situation. The cost of the final formulation is also taken into consideration since the drug is intended for treatment of thousands or probably millions of patients around the world including countries with limited economic capabilities.

The Lille University Hospital developped a research objective common to all the services which took care of patients, "suspected patient", "possible case", "probable case" or "confirmed case" infected with SARS-CoV-2 by constituting a prospective and a retrospective observational cohort which allowed pooling and sharing the resources and data collected. In the next two years the prospective cohort will allow to continue inclusions in a standardized way mainly for the constitution of a negative control group (excluded cases), to collect biological samples which had not been collected in the retrospective cohort so that the pathophysiology of the COVID-19 will be better apprehended as for example the inflammatory response to the viral infection. Finally in case of a second epidemic wave in the Hauts De France, it seems essential to have a defined research protocol which had already received all the necessary authorizations to guarantee cutting-edge (or quality ) research in a center like the Lille University Hospital.The aim objective of this study is to identify predictive factors of mortality to day 28 infection to SARS-CoV-2 for patients under medical care for the COVID-19 in the Lille University Hospital thanks to the constitution of an epidemiological, clinical, biological, immunological, genetic, microbiological, anatomopathologic, radiological, therapeutic database and so record the results of functional exploration exams.

Essential workers in positions with increased likelihood of exposure to SARS-CoC-2 will be most impacted by the proposed project. Evidence has shown that the SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus is easily transmissable through close contact between individuals, especially during aerosol-generating procedures such as intubation of patients. The intervention proposed in this study (nasal and oral decontamination with povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine, respectively) presents an opportunity for a safe, effective, and feasible treatment to decontaminate the primary entry points for SARS-CoV-2. As such, the intervention to be studied in this project may protect healthcare and other essential workers by preventing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from patients to healthcare workers, as well as the general public to essential worker,. and thus reducing the incidence of COVID-19 in these workers.

The purpose of this study is to gain on-going COVID-19 feedback/data to drive timely action locally and nationally in order to mitigate transmission. Data will be deidentified and consolidated to create a large national longitudinal database.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of vadadustat for the prevention and treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in hospitalized patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

COVID-19 is a disease with high rate of morbidity if symptomatic. There is a great need of treatments to decrease the severity. The vast majority of patients needing intensive care are men, and this may be due to the androgens, either by regulation of TMPRSS2, necessary for virus internalization, or other mechanisms. Enzalutamide is an antiandrogen inhibiting the expression of androgen regulated proteins, such as TMPRSS2. The aim of this trial is to evaluate a possible beneficial effect of short-term enzalutamide treatment of COVID-19 patients.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic effect in public health worldwide. In Brazil, there have been more than 2 million confirmed cases and over 75,000 deaths since February 26, 2020. Based on reports of a hyperinflammatory state associated with COVID-19, the use of immunosuppressive drugs may be efficacious in the treatment of this disease. JAK inhibitors have been shown to harness inflammation in a number of different pathologic conditions. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19.
