E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate the efficacy of low-dose interleukin 2 (Ld-IL2) administration in improving clinical course and oxygenation parameters in patients with SARS-CoV2-related ARDS.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess the safety of low dose interleukin-2 (Ld-IL2) compared with placebo -To demonstrate that Ld-IL2 improves the components of the composite endpoint of mortality and duration of mechanical ventilation. -To demonstrate that Ld-IL2 shortens SARS-CoV2-related ARDS resolution -To demonstrate that Ld-IL2 shortens mechanical ventilation weaning process in SARS-CoV2-related ARDS -To demonstrate that Ld-IL2 reduces nursing workload, rate of prone positioning -To demonstrate that Ld-IL2 reduces the number of days alive in hospital during 28 days -To demonstrate that Ld-IL2 reduces the number of organ dysfunctions
- Exploratory objectives

|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Changes in Tregs between Baseline and Day 7 (expressed in %) • - Number of days alive with oxygen therapy within 28 days • - Maximal oxygen rate within 28 days • - Number of days alive free of invasive or non-invasive ventilation within 28 days • - Number of days alive outside ICU within 28 days • - Number of days alive outside hospital within 28 days • - Time (in days) from randomization to death • - Mortality rate at D28 • - Difference between CRP levels at randomization and at Day 7 (or at the time of discharge if occurs before Day 7) • - Use of antibiotics for respiratory (proved or suspected) infection within 28 days • - Number of prone positioning sessions
Immunomonitoring study. Changes in Tregs and in other immunological, inflammatory or cellular parameters during the different visits between baseline and day 28 will be analyzed using ANOVA for ranks considering factor time and treatment .The antiviral TCR identified in BAL will be compare the TCR identified in blood by Mann-Whitney test. Multivariate methods will be used to identify relationships between immune-inflammatory profiles and clinical outcomes of the study. • Tregs percentages and numbers during induction period and throughout the follow up period at day 5, 7, 11, 14 and 28 compared to baseline before the first IL-2 injection. • Deep Immunophenotyping of immune cells at Day 7, and Day 14 compared to baseline • Cytokines and other solubles markers at Day 7, and Day 14 compared to baseline. • T cell repertoire on Treg, CD4 and CD8 Teff after sorting from blood at Day 7 and Day 14 and compared to baseline • Single cells sequencing will be performed in BAL at Day 7 and Day 14 and compared to baseline.
