项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has resulted in global morbidity and mortality of dramatic proportions. Although the development of vaccines has occurred at an extremely rapid pace, significant challenges remain including vaccine hesitancy, the development of new variants, and major new outbreaks within several countries, despite best efforts for vaccine production and deployment. In addition, there is an urgent need to be able to address the post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) or long haul COVID. Significant health problems, including neurobehavioral, pulmonary, renal, and cardiovascular abnormalities have been observed in both hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients well beyond the acute phase of infection, where replication competent virus is no longer shed. In studies proposed here, we will establish a model for the investigation of the longer-term effects of SARS-CoV- 2 infection in African green monkeys (AGM) supported by our previous observations during the acute phase of infection. In the context of our research strategy, we will perform clinical, biologic, immunologic, virologic, behavioral, pulmonary (plethysmography) and telemetric studies at baseline and during the course of our studies. The first six weeks of SARS-CoV-2 infection will be investigated within our Regional Biocontainment Laboratory at BSL- 3. At six weeks post-infection, we will evaluate the status of active and transmissible infection to support the safe transfer of animals to a BSL-2+ environment for an additional 12 weeks, where we will study the longer-term consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Necropsies will be performed within BSL-3 as a safety precaution. Considerable anecdotal and survey evidence suggests vaccination of persons with PASC symptoms can be mitigated in whole or in part by the administration of vaccines approved under emergency use authorization. Our studies will investigate the administration of the Pfizer vaccine to animals two days post-infection to determine its potential as a therapeutic vaccine to modulate the acute and post-acute infection phases. We will also evaluate the potential of a Cathepsin-L inhibitor that interferes with cell entry of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our previous collaborative studies with Selva Therapeutics, Inc, suggests virological and immunologic properties with earlier detection of neutralizing antibodies in AGM. We anticipate the proposed studies may provide urgently needed novel, translatable, and actionable approaches for the modulation of COVID-19 disease in humans.

项目摘要严重的急性呼吸道综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-COV-2）大流行导致全球戏剧性比例的发病率和死亡率。尽管疫苗的开发发生在速度极快，仍然存在重大挑战，包括疫苗犹豫，新的发展尽管疫苗生产和部署。此外，迫切需要能够解决Covid-19的急性后遗症（PASC）或长途共同。重大健康问题，包括神经行为，肺，肾脏和在住院和非医院的患者中，已经观察到心血管异常感染的急性阶段，其中复制能胜任病毒不再脱落。在此处提出的研究中，我们将建立一个模型，以研究SARS-COV-的长期影响 2非洲绿猴（AGM）的感染，由我们以前的观察结果支持感染。在我们的研究策略的背景下，我们将执行临床，生物学，免疫学，病毒学，行为，行为，基线和研究过程中的肺部（整体生产学）和遥测研究。第一个将在BSL-的区域生物培养实验室中研究SARS-COV-2感染的六周 3。感染后六周，我们将评估活动和传播感染的状态以支持安全将动物转移到BSL-2+环境中，以培养12周，我们将研究长期 SARS-COV-2感染的后果。尸检将在BSL-3内进行，以作为安全预防措施。大量的轶事和调查证据表明，患有PASC症状的人的疫苗接种可能是根据紧急使用授权批准的疫苗全部或部分缓解。我们的研究将在感染后两天调查辉瑞疫苗对动物的施用，以确定它作为一种治疗疫苗的潜力，可调节急性和急性后感染阶段。我们也会评估组织蛋白酶-L抑制剂的潜力，该抑制剂会干扰SARS-COV-2感染的细胞进入。我们的以前与Selva Therapeutics，Inc的合作研究表明，病毒学和免疫学特性早期检测到AGM中中和抗体的检测。我们预计拟议的研究可能会紧急提供需要新颖的，可翻译和可行的方法来调节人类的共同疾病。
