Admission in the intensive care unit (ICU) and need for mechanical ventilation is reportedly associated with an estimated hospital mortality of more than 30%. Furthermore, the surge in ICU bed requirement is a worldwide-shared issue, leading to sub-optimal ICU management.\n\nIn acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19-related pneumonia, vasoplegia with vascular enlargement inside the lung lesions and dilation of small vessels seen on chest CT scan largely account for severe hypoxemia whose physiological response is hyperventilation leading to hypocapnia. Almitrine, initially described to reduce intrapulmonary shunt by enhancement of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in combination with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO), redistributes pulmonary blood flow from shunt areas to lung units with normal ventilation/perfusion (VA/Q) ratio. Low dose of intravenous almitrine (2 µg.kg-1.min-1) alone also improves oxygenation (without combination with iNO) by selective pulmonary vasoconstriction of precapillary pulmonary arteries perfusing lung areas exposed to a hypoxic challenge with a slight increase in mean arterial pulmonary. Therefore, our hypothesis is that 5 days of low dose of almitrine therapy may improve the ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) ratio at a relatively early stage of this specific lung disease and limit respiratory worsening and subsequent need for mechanical ventilation.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adults patients aged 80 years or less\n* COVID-19 diagnosis defined as either positive RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 compatible or typical chest CT pattern or positive serology for COVID-19 antibodies\n* Hypoxemic acute respiratory failure with the following criteria: oxygen saturation level of 92% or less, as measured by pulsed oximetry (SpO2) under oxygen therapy with an oxygen rate of 6L/min or more.\n* Hospital admission for COVID-19 within 14 days\n* Patients affiliated\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients\n* Pregnancy or breastfeeding woman\n* Known Hepatic failure (PT \\<50%, Factor V \\< 50%)\n* Last known Plasma total bilirubin \\> 21 μmol/L\n* Lactate level \\> 4 mmol/L\n* ALT and AST levels greater than 3 times the upper limit\n* Pulmonary hypertension (PAPs ≥37 mmHG and/or VmaxIT ≥ 2,9 m/s) or right ventricular dysfunction\n* History of pulmonary embolism\n* Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism during the current hospitalization or on-going anticoagulant therapy at curative dose for thromboembolism when hospitalized\n* PaCO2 \\> 45 mmHg\n* Exacerbation of asthma or chronic respiratory failure\n* Cardiogenic pulmonary oedema\n* Systolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or less, or use of vasopressors\n* Urgent need for endotracheal intubation at the discretion of the treating physician\n* Do-not-intubate order or estimated life expectancy less than 6 months\n* Participation in another interventional research'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04357457', 'acronym': 'AIRVM-COVID', 'briefTitle': 'Efficacy of Intravenous Almitrine in Reducing the Need for Mechanical Ventilation in Patients With Hypoxemic Acute Respiratory Failure Due to Covid-19-related Pneumonia', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris'}, 'officialTitle': 'Efficacy of Intravenous Almitrine in Reducing the Need for Mechanical Ventilation in Patients With Hypoxemic Acute Respiratory Failure Due to Covid-19-related Pneumonia: a Randomized Controlled Double-blind Study From the Skip-icu Consortium', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'APHP200461'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': '2020-001909-22', 'type': 'EUDRACT_NUMBER'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Almitrine', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Almitrine']}, {'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Placebo', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Placebo']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Almitrine', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'Intravenous almitrine at a dose of 2 µg.kg-1.min-1 during 5 days', 'armGroupLabels': ['Almitrine']}, {'name': 'Placebo', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'Intravenous glucose 5% during 5 days', 'armGroupLabels': ['Placebo']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'city': 'Paris', 'country': 'France', 'facility': 'Hospital Pitié-Salpêtrière', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 48.85341, 'lon': 2.3488}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Yonathan FREUND, PU-PH', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'YES', 'description': 'Yes, upon request, after approval by the primary investigator and clinical research platform of East Paris.
