Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Since the outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost and millions significantly affected. Although primarily a respiratory viral illness, emerging data suggests that multiorgan involvement is common in those with moderate-severe infections. Whether or not persistent multiorgan damage will be seen in COVID-19 survivors is unknown.

C-MORE is an observational study that aims to investigate the long-term effects of COVID-19 on the lungs, heart, brain, liver and kidneys using advanced state-of-the art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. The study will assess 616 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 from leading UK centres and undertake multi-organ magnetic resonance imaging at 3, 6, and 12 months following the onset of COVID-19 symptoms. In addition, assessments of breathing, exercise capacity, cognition and mental health will be carried out.

The study will describe the prevalence of persistent multi-organ injury in COVID-19 patients and assess how this relates to comorbid conditions, severity of acute respiratory illness, immunological response, genetic factors, quality of life and mental health.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Non-COVID

We will enrol age, gender, BMI and co-morbidity matched non-COVID control subjects (no serological evidence of previous infection, or active/previous symptoms suggestive of COVID-19). A minimum of 200 controls (as part of the COSMIC study) will be recruited.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Intervention Type 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.

COVID-19

Hospitalised patients with moderate to severe infection (admitted for at least 2 days in hospital).

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Intervention Type 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.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* 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.
* Controls: Participants with no serological evidence of previous infection, or active/previous symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, and who may or may not have comorbidities.

Exclusion Criteria

* 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)
