In the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) has evolved as a new threat to children exposed to SARS-CoV-2. The emergence of MIS-C is so new and so rapidly evolving that there are currently no diagnostic tests to identify these patients nor are there tools to predict disease progression. Through established, funded, multi-center consortia in the U.S. (CHARMS: Characterization of MIS-C and its Relationship to Kawasaki Disease funded by PCORI) and the UK (DIAMONDS), we will collect clinical data and samples to support the proposed studies. First, we will generate transcript, protein and antibody datasets from children with COVID-19, MIS-C, and with other febrile illnesses. Next, we will use these data to devise tests to distinguish children at risk of progression to severe COVID-19 or MIS-C and diagnostic tests to distinguish these conditions from other causes of fever in children. Continuing our established collaboration with Columbia University, we will define the antibody repertoire against all known human coronaviruses and determine how pre-existing antibody to other coronaviruses may shape the immune response in acute SARS-CoV-2 infection and MIS-C. The first two years (R61) will build on the expertise of the assembled teams to discover unique proteomic and transcriptomic patterns in MIS-C and SARS-CoV-2- infected patients and relate clinical parameters to the antibody response to coronaviral antigens profiled on peptide arrays. This work will leverage already banked plasma, serum, and RNA samples from children with COVID-19, MIS-C, Kawasaki disease and other inflammatory conditions. Rigorous Go/NoGo criteria have been established and will determine progression to the R33 phase. The final two years (R33) will focus on platform development and multicenter and bi-national test validation to diagnose and predict severity in children with SARS-CoV-2 infection or MIS-C based on aptamer technology, lateral-flow protein detection, point-of-service RNA or antibody profiling with commercial partners. De-identified clinical and molecular data will be deposited in the RADx-rad hub to facilitate data sharing. Many potential hurdles in this type of research have already been overcome: a) IRB-approved patient recruitment for data and samples is on-going, b) clinical samples have been banked, c) strong preliminary data has been generated on RNAseq, aptamer proteomics, and coronaviral antibody responses, and d) the teams have a strong track record of previous collaboration and productivity. The synergistic expertise of these investigative teams in this multi-center proposal provides a unique opportunity to create diagnostic and prognostic tools for children suffering from the spectrum of SARS- CoV-2 illnesses. 1

在 COVID-19 大流行之后，儿童多系统炎症综合征 (MIS-C) 已发展成为一种 暴露于 SARS-CoV-2 的儿童面临新的威胁。 MIS-C 的出现是如此新颖且发展如此迅速 目前没有诊断测试来识别这些患者，也没有工具来预测疾病 进展。通过在美国建立的、资助的、多中心的财团（CHARMS：特征 MIS-C 及其与川崎病的关系由 PCORI）和英国（DIAMONDS）资助，我们将收集 支持拟议研究的临床数据和样本。首先，我们将生成转录本、蛋白质和 来自患有 COVID-19、MIS-C 和其他发热性疾病的儿童的抗体数据集。接下来我们将使用这些 数据设计测试以区分有进展为严重 COVID-19 或 MIS-C 风险的儿童和诊断 进行测试以区分这些情况与儿童发烧的其他原因。继续我们既定的 与哥伦比亚大学合作，我们将定义针对所有已知人类的抗体库 冠状病毒并确定针对其他冠状病毒的现有抗体如何影响免疫 急性 SARS-CoV-2 感染和 MIS-C 的反应。头两年（R61）将建立在专业知识的基础上 组建团队以发现 MIS-C 和 SARS-CoV-2 中独特的蛋白质组和转录组模式 感染患者并将临床参数与对冠状病毒抗原的抗体反应联系起来 肽阵列。这项工作将利用已经储存的患有以下疾病的儿童的血浆、血清和 RNA 样本 COVID-19、MIS-C、川崎病和其他炎症性疾病。严格的 Go/NoGo 标准 已建立并将确定 R33 阶段的进展。最后两年（R33）将重点关注 平台开发和多中心和两国测试验证，以诊断和预测严重程度 基于适体技术、侧流蛋白检测、SARS-CoV-2感染或MIS-C儿童， 与商业合作伙伴一起进行服务点 RNA 或抗体分析。去识别的临床和分子数据 将存放在 RADx-rad 中心以方便数据共享。此类研究存在许多潜在障碍 已经克服了：a) IRB 批准的患者数据和样本招募正在进行中，b) 临床 样本已入库，c) 已生成有关 RNAseq、适体蛋白质组学的强有力的初步数据， 和冠状病毒抗体反应，并且 d) 团队在之前的合作和 生产率。这些研究团队在这个多中心提案中的协同专业知识提供了 为患有 SARS 的儿童创建诊断和预后工具的独特机会 CoV-2 疾病。 1
