Trial to be conducted in more sites, with drug known to both patient and Investigator, in which patients will be assigned randomly to receive the drug or not in order to assess the efficacy and tolerability of the drug (porcine surfactant, Curosurf®) in hospitalized patients with SARS-COV-19 (COVID-19 INFECTION) acute respiratory distress syndrome

Multicenter, open-label, randomised trial to assess the efficacy and tolerability of poractant alfa (porcine surfactant, Curosurf®) in hospitalized patients with SARS-COV-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) - COVID19 - Curosurf_ARDS_COV19

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the investigational drug Curosurf®, administered by endotracheal (ET) instillation in terms of ventilatory free days in adult patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) due to 2019-nCoV infection. The same evaluation is planned in a separate cohort of patients under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vvECMO) in terms of ECMO free days during the 21 days after randomization.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Curosurf® administered by ET Instillation compared to control cohort (patient not treated with Curosurf®), in terms of oxygenation (PaO2 / FiO2), FiO2, free days from invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation, length of Intensive Care Units (ICU)stay, mortality at 28 days, SOFA score (overall organ -failure measurement), duration and free days from ECMO (applicable only for ECMO-cohort),incidence of AEs, vital signs and laboratory parameters,incidence of adverse events, vital signs and laboratory parameters.;Primary end point(s): The primary outcome variable will be the number of ventilator-free days defined as the number of days the patient is not receiving mechanical ventilation during the 21 days after randomisation. Mechanical ventilation will be defined as invasive and non-invasive. Patient will be defined free of mechanical ventilation after 12 hours from the suspension of any type of both invasive and non-invasive ventilation.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Starting from the 21 days after ranfomization

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Number of free days from invasive ventilation - Number of free days from non-invasive ventilation (NIV) - Change from baseline in PaO2/FiO2 ratio at 6 and 12 hours following each dose administration in the treated group relative timepoints in the control group (6, 12, 30, 36, 54 and 60 hours after randomisation) - Change from baseline in PaO2/FiO2 ratio at additional timepoints (i.e. every 24 hours since treatment/randomisation till the patient is discharged from the ICU) - Percentage of patients with PaO2/ FiO2 improvement >20% at 6 and 12 hours following each dose administration in the treated group and relative timepoints in the control group (6, 12, 30, 36, 54 and 60 hours after randomisation) - Percentage of patients with PaO2/ FiO2 improvement >20% at additional timepoints (i.e. every 24 hours after treatment/randomisation till the patient is discharged from the ICU) - Change from baseline in FiO2 at 6 and 12 hours following each dose administration in the treated group and relative timepoints in the control group (6, 12, 30, 36, 54 and 60 hours after randomisation) - Change from baseline in FiO2 at additional timepoints (i.e. every 24 hours after treatment/randomisation till the patient is discharged from the ICU) - Length of ICU stay (days) - Mortality at Day 28 - Delta SOFA Score measured on Day 3 at Discharge and Day 28 - Change from baseline in ventilatory parameters [tidal volume (TV), respiratory rate (RR), dynamic compliance (Cdyn), static compliance (Cstat), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), plateau pressure (Pplat)] measured at 6-12-24h after each administration or randomisation up to 72 hours and then every 24 hours till the patient is discharged from the ICU. - Change from baseline in blood gas analysis acid-base balance parameters (i.e. pH, pCO2, pO2, HCO3, lactate) measured at 6-12-24h after each administration or randomisation up to 72 hours and then every 24 hours till th
