C5a Receptor Expression in Circulating Myeloid Cells in ARDS Secondary to COVID-19
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating draw blood for COVID-19. Completed, enrolled 61 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The pathophysiology of ARDS is linked to an uncontrolled inflammatory response at the level of alveolo-capillary membrane, mediated by neutrophils and mononuclear cells. The complement system and anaphylatoxin C5a have shown central role in the recruitment of these pro-inflammatory cells and more broadly in the genesis of cytokinic storm syndrome. C5a acts via receptors C5aR and C5L2. This is a preliminary study aimed at studying the expression of the C5a receptor on myeloid cells in peripheral blood of patients with ARDS secondary to COVID-19. This study has of primary objective to show there is an overexpression of the C5a receptor in patients with ARDS secondary to COVID-19 compared to control patients (patients with COVID-19 without respiratory distress and healthy volunteers). The medium-term objective is to develop a clinical trial to test the effectiveness of anti-C5aR antibody in this condition.
