Misalignment between COVID-19 hotspots and clinical trial sites.

ABSTRACT: Hundreds of interventional clinical trials have been launched in the United States to identify effective treatment strategies for combating the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, to date, only a small fraction of these trials have completed enrollment, delaying the scientific investigation of COVID-19 and its treatment options. This study presents novel metrics to examine the geographic alignment between COVID-19 hotspots and interventional clinical trial sites and evaluate trial access over time during the evolving pandemic. Using temporal COVID-19 case data from USAFacts.org and trial data from ClinicalTrials.gov, U.S. counties were categorized based on their numbers of cases and trials. Our analysis suggests that alignment and access have worsened as the pandemic shifted over time. We recommend strategies and metrics to evaluate the alignment between cases and trials. Future studies are warranted to investigate the impact of the misalignment of cases and clinical trial sites on clinical trial recruitment.

Transcriptional Differences Between COVID-19 and Sepsis

Project description:Although some studies reported the comprehensive mRNA expression analysis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) using blood samples to understand its pathogenesis, the characteristics of RNA expression in COVID-19 and sepsis have not been compared. We compared the transcriptome expression of whole blood samples from patients with COVID-19 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and patients with sepsis caused by other bacteria who entered the intensive care unit to clarify the COVID-19-specific RNA expression and understand its pathogenesis. Transcriptomes related to mitochondria were upregulated in COVID-19, whereas those related to neutrophils were upregulated in sepsis. However, the transcriptomes related to neutrophils were upregulated in both COVID-19 and sepsis compared to in healthy controls, whereas the mitochondrial transcriptomes were upregulated in COVID-19 and downregulated in sepsis compared to in healthy controls. Moreover, sepsis showed sub-optimal intrinsic apoptotic features compared with COVID-19. The transcriptome expression of COVID-19 has been examined in vitro but has not been widely validated using human specimens. This study improves the understanding of the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and can contribute to the development of treatments.

COVID-19 trial graph: a linked graph for COVID-19 clinical trials.

Project description:ObjectiveClinical trials are an essential part of the effort to find safe and effective prevention and treatment for COVID-19. Given the rapid growth of COVID-19 clinical trials, there is an urgent need for a better clinical trial information retrieval tool that supports searching by specifying criteria, including both eligibility criteria and structured trial information.Materials and methodsWe built a linked graph for registered COVID-19 clinical trials: the COVID-19 Trial Graph, to facilitate retrieval of clinical trials. Natural language processing tools were leveraged to extract and normalize the clinical trial information from both their eligibility criteria free texts and structured information from ClinicalTrials.gov. We linked the extracted data using the COVID-19 Trial Graph and imported it to a graph database, which supports both querying and visualization. We evaluated trial graph using case queries and graph embedding.ResultsThe graph currently (as of October 5, 2020) contains 3392 registered COVID-19 clinical trials, with 17 480 nodes and 65 236 relationships. Manual evaluation of case queries found high precision and recall scores on retrieving relevant clinical trials searching from both eligibility criteria and trial-structured information. We observed clustering in clinical trials via graph embedding, which also showed superiority over the baseline (0.870 vs 0.820) in evaluating whether a trial can complete its recruitment successfully.ConclusionsThe COVID-19 Trial Graph is a novel representation of clinical trials that allows diverse search queries and provides a graph-based visualization of COVID-19 clinical trials. High-dimensional vectors mapped by graph embedding for clinical trials would be potentially beneficial for many downstream applications, such as trial end recruitment status prediction and trial similarity comparison. Our methodology also is generalizable to other clinical trials.

Mapping Trends and Hotspots Regarding Clinical Research on COVID-19: A Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research.

Project description:Purpose: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, which began in December 2019, has not been completely controlled; therefore, COVID-19 has received much attention from countries around the world. Many related clinical studies, such as clinical trials, have been published, but to the knowledge of the authors, there has been no bibliometric analysis of these publications focusing on clinical research studies on COVID-19. Methods: Global publications on COVID-19 from January 2020 to December 2020 were extracted from the Web of Science (WOS) collection database. The VOSviewer software and CiteSpace were employed to perform a bibliometric study. In addition, we obtained information on relevant clinical trials from the website http://clinicaltrials.gov. Results: China published most of the articles in this field and had the highest number of citations and H-index. The Journal of Medical Virology published most of the articles related to COVID-19. In terms of institutions, Huazhong University of Science and Technology had the most publications, and Wang, JW received the highest number of citations. Conclusion: The diagnosis, prevention, and prognosis of COVID-19 are still the focus of attention at present. The overall analysis of the disease were identified as the emerging topics from the perspectives of epidemiology and statistics. However, finding an effective treatment remains the focus of clinical trials.

Immunometabolic interference between cancer and COVID-19

Project description:Even though cancer patients are generally considered more susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the mechanisms driving their predisposition to severe forms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have not yet been deciphered. Since metabolic disorders are associated with homeostatic frailty, which increases the risk of infection and cancer, we asked whether we could identify immunometabolic pathways intersecting with cancer and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thanks to a combined flow cytometry and multiomics approach, here we show that the immunometabolic traits of COVID-19 cancer patients encompass alterations in the frequency and activation status of circulating myeloid and lymphoid subsets, and that these changes are associated with i) depletion of tryptophan and its related neuromediator tryptamine, ii) accumulation of immunosuppressive tryptophan metabolites (i.e., kynurenines), and iii) low nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) availability. This metabolic imbalance is accompanied by altered expression of inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), with a distinctive downregulation of IL-6 and upregulation of IFNg mRNA expression levels. Altogether, our findings indicate that cancer not only attenuates the inflammatory state in COVID-19 patients but also contributes to weakening their precarious metabolic state by interfering with NAD+ dependent immune homeostasis.

Clinical and immunological benefits of convalescent plasma therapy in severe COVID-19: insights from a single center open label randomised control trial

Project description:A randomised control trial was done to assess clinical and immunological benefits of passive immunization using convalescent plasma therapy (CPT), compared with standard of care, in severe COVID-19 patients presenting with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Plasma abundance of a large panel of cytokines was quantitated before and after intervention to assess the effect of CPT on the systemic hyper-inflammation encountered in these patients. Transfused convalescent plasma was characterized in terms of its neutralizing antibody content as well as proteome. While across all age-groups clinical outcomes were not significantly different, significant immediate mitigation of hypoxia, reduction in hospital stay as well as significant survival benefit were registered in severe COVID-19 patients with ARDS aged less than 67 years receiving CPT. In addition to its neutralizing antibody content, a significant effect of the anti-inflammatory proteome of convalescent plasma on attenuation of systemic cytokine deluge, contributed to the clinical benefits of CPT.
