About this trial

The C-MORE study is prospective observational holistic longitudinal study which will characterise the prevalence of multi-organ injury among COVID-19 survivors post hospital discharge and assess its effects on quality of life, exercise tolerance and mental health.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participant is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study.

Male or Female, aged 18 years or above.

Diagnosis of COVID-19 infection confirmed by detection of viral nucleic acid on reverse-transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR).

Infection should be of moderate to severe intensity (i.e, patients with clinical signs of pneumonia such as respiratory rate > 30 breaths/min; or severe respiratory distress; or SpO2 < 90% (on room air) and admission for >48 hours.

Disqualifiers

Contraindication to MRI e.g. pregnancy, pacemaker, ferromagnetic implant, shrapnel injury, severe claustrophobia, inability to lie flat.

Any other significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the investigator, might influence the participant's ability to participate in the study.

Any signs of active COVID-19 infection on day of visit.

Significantly impaired renal function (eGFR<30 ml/min)

Trial population

A minimum of 500 participants who have recently been hospitalised with moderate-severe COVID-19 infection. A minimum of 200 individuals with no serological evidence of previous infection , or active/previous symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 will serve as controls.

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Diagnostic test

    We will undertake multi-organ MRI to assess the health of vital organs including the brain, heart, lung, kidneys and liver. We will additionally examine the burden of ongoing respiratory limitations, mental health problems and quality of life in survivors of COVID-19 at 3, 6 and 12 months.

Treatment groups

750 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Non-COVID1 intervention
Group B: COVID-191 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Prevalence of damage (quantitative measures of injury) on lung, heart, liver, kidneys and brain MRI.

Characterise and compare the prevalence and extent of lung, heart, liver, kidney, brain injury on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 disease with matched uninfected controls.

Time frame
6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Prevalence of damage (quantitative measures of injury) on lungs, heart, liver, kidneys and brain on MRI.

Characterise and compare the prevalence and extent of lung, heart, liver and kidney, brain injury on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 disease with matched uninfected controls.

Time frame
3 and 12 months
2

Prevalence of acute/chronic cardiac, renal and liver injury on blood tests.

Characterise and compare the prevalence of cardiac, renal and liver injury on blood test in COVID-19 survivors and controls.

Time frame
3, 6,12 months
3

VO2 max on cardiopulmonary exercise testing

Characterise and compare VO2 max on cardiopulmonary exercise testing in COVID-19 survivors and controls.

Time frame
3, 6,12 months
4

Prevalence of abnormal lung function test (any of the following: Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)< 80% of predicted FEV1, or forced vital capacity (FVC)<80% predicted, ratio of FEV1/FVC >0.7 or diffusion lung capacity (<80% predicted))

Characterise and compare the prevalence of lung function test abnormalities among survivors and controls.

Time frame
