Bevacizumab, ZERIBEV® (Pfizer)/AVASTIN® (Roche) 25 mg/ml ®, is a recombinant humanised monoclonal IgG1 antibody It seems interesting to use bevacizumab in severe patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 requiring hospitalization in conventional unit or in ICU.
This protocol CORIMUNO19-BEVA will evaluate the efficacy and safety of AVASTIN®/ ZERIBEV® (bevacizumab) COVID-19 patients hospitalized in conventional units.
This phase 2 randomized clinical trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of AVASTIN®/ ZERIBEV® (bevacizumab) alone versus standard of care (SoC) in patients hospitalized in conventional units.

Experimental: Bevacizumab |
Drug: Bevacizumab Injection
Treatment includes the administration on day 1 (D1) of an infusion of Bevacizumab 7.5 mg / kg in 100 ml saline for all patients weighing 100 kg or more. In control arm, patient receives standard care. |
No Intervention: Standard of Care |
- Proportion of surviving patients without need for intubation for respiratory support [ Time Frame: day 14 ]
- Saturation of Oxygen in the blood (SaO2) [ Time Frame: day 14 ]value of a healthy individual occurs between 95 - 100
- Arterial oxygen partial pressure (paO2) [ Time Frame: day 14 ]value of a healthy individual occurs between 75-100 mmHg
- Ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen (paO2/FiO2) [ Time Frame: day 14 ]Normal level should be >500 Index of severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) mild if 200-300 moderate if 100-200 severe if < 200
- CT-scan score [ Time Frame: day 14 ]based on a Likert scale with scores ranging from 1 to 5 (1-definitely no; 2-probably no; 3-equivocal; 4-probably yes; 5-definitely yes)
- dyspnea [ Time Frame: day 28 ]measured on an visual analog scale (VAS), ranging from 0 (no dyspnea) to 10 (major dyspnea)
- overall survival [ Time Frame: day 14 and 28 ]
- admissionn to the intensive care unit (ICU) [ Time Frame: day 14 and day 28 ]
- incidence of mechanical ventilation [ Time Frame: day 14 and day 28 ]
- hospital length of stay [ Time Frame: day 28 ]
- incidence of adverse event [ Time Frame: day 28 ]
- VEGF plasma concentration [ Time Frame: day 28 ]
