Conditions
COVID-19
Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: characterization of aPL
Registration Number
NCT05128760
Lead Sponsor
Central Hospital, Nancy, France
Brief Summary

Context: Until 70% of thrombotic event are reported during Sars-CoV2 infection. Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) tests are often positive. We aim to determine if aPL positivity is involved in thrombose of Sars-CoV2 infection investigating the effect of aPL on thrombin generation (TG) and leucocyte pathway activation (neutrophils extracellular traps (NETs) and activation of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1)).

Method: We will compare plasma from five groups of subjects: patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and patients hospitalized for Sars-CoV-2 infection with or without aPL, and as control, patients with acute venous thromboembolism event and healthy volunteers. For each subject, we will analyze aPL, activated protein C (APC) resistance measured by TG and leukocytes markers as circulating neutrophils extracellular traps (NETs) and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells one (sTREM-1). We will control aPL test at three month and analyze their persistent positivity and association with thrombotic event.

Results: we hypothesize that patients with COVID-19 and aPL will have a similar aPL and level of APS resistance that patients with APS. Also, we think that circulating NETs and sTREM-1 levels will be more important in patients with COVID-19 with aPL than patients without aPL and similar in patients with COVID-19 and aPL and patients with APS.

Conclusion: our study will be the first to analyze the potential role of aPL on APC resistance measured by TG and neutrophil activation in COVID-19.
