EFFICACY and SAFETY OF BEVACIZUMAB (ZIRABEV®) IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE HYPOXEMIC COVID-19 (BEVA)
TRIAL EVALUATING EFFICACY and SAFETY OF BEVACIZUMAB (ZIRABEV®) IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE HYPOXEMIC COVID-19, NESTED IN THE CORIMUNO-19 COHORT
Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are the most frequent complications of the COVID-19 pandemic. In these conditions, hypoxemia may result from : i) a pulmonary vascular dilatation resulting from an impaired hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and leading to ventilation-perfusion mismatching within the lungs and ii) thrombosis-mediated perfusion defects. Pulmonary vascular dilation might be due to a relative failure of the physiological acute hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, in the context of an over-activation of a regional vasodilatation cascade, as part of a dysfunctional inflammatory process. Perfusion abnormalities associated with pulmonary vascular dilation are suggestive of intrapulmonary shunting toward areas where gas exchange is impaired, ultimately leading to a worsening ventilation-perfusion mismatch, a regional hypoxia and a profound hypoxemia.
Increased plasma levels of VEGF have been reported in moderate to severe COVID-19 pneumonia, highlighting the role of VEGF in the pathophysiology of the disease. A better prognosis has been reported in critically ill patients with lower levels of growth factors, HGF and VEGF-A at the time of ICU admission. Recent data of the study NCT 04275414 by Pang J et al have suggested that patients receiving a single-dose of bevacizumab have improved their oxygen support status in 92% of cases during a 28-day follow-up period, as compared with 62% of cases in an external cohort receiving standard care.
Correcting endothelial permeability and vasodilatation with VEGF-targeted therapy could allow repair damaged vascular endothelium, have an indirect anti-inflammatory effect (limiting alveolar exudation of circulating inflammatory and procoagulant mediators) and improve oxygenation and therefore reduce the proportion of patients with severe forms requiring ICU referral and finally patient death. This clinical trial will therefore focus on the specific efficacy of bevacizumab in COVID-19 patients with severe hypoxemia.
