Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

This clinical study is designed to test the efficacy of the Novir 2019-nCoV Immunoglobulin M/Immunoglobulin G Antibody Test in a point-of-care setting to support the increasing need for rapid screening in the detection of antibodies. The study is performed on individuals who have no history of COVID-19 and no history of COVID immunization as well as individuals with history of COVID-19 that was diagnosed greater than 15 days. This is performed both through 3mL venous whole blood which is ran through an assay as well a point-of-care rapid test which is resulted in 10 minutes. Aiding in the rapid detection of COVID-19 antibodies.

The study is to provide reliable estimates of the effect of study treatment on hospital length of stay through to 28 days after randomisation. The protocol describes an overarching trial design to provide reliable evidence on the efficacy of candidate therapies for children hospitalised with PIMS-TS. It is an adaptive pragmatic platform trial with an open-label randomisation. New trial arms can be added as evidence emerges that other candidate therapeutics should be evaluated.

Dexamethasone has been approved for the treatment of severe COVID-19, but higher doses of steroids may be more effective. The purpose of this research study is to compare the current standard dose of dexamethasone 6 mg to a higher, weight-based dosing (0.2 mg/kg with maximum dose of 20 mg) to determine if it would be more effective against COVID-19 pneumonia.

A randomised clinical trial to assess the impact of an online singing, breathing and wellbeing programme (ENO Breathe) developed specifically for people recovering from COVID-19.

Scarce information exists in relation to the effect of supplementation of Vitamin D3 in SARS-COV-2 infection, H1N1, and A, B Influenza when 25-hydroxyvitamin levels are between 20-100ng/ml. This study will evaluate the effect of supplementation of vitamin D3 vs. dietary-hygiene measures in SARS-COV-2 , H1N1, A, B Influenza infection rate in patients with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels >20ng/ml. A comparative randomized study that will evaluate the effect of a monthly supplementation with 52000 units of Vitamine D3 during three months vs hygienic-dietary measures in the development of respiratory infections such as COVID-19, H1N1, A, B Influenza during 6 months of follow-up in health workers from a hospital in Northern Mexico with serum vitamin D values +/- 20ng/ml. Also, patients that during screening have 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels <20 ng/ml will receive vitamin D supplementation according to primary care discretion for three months and will be followed for 6 months and infection rate will be analyzed and compared.

The COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has transmitted quickly as a global public health emergency. The median duration for Sars-CoV-2 carrying in COVID-19 patients was 20 days (IQR 16-28) What is the role of vitamin D supplementation on the recovery time of asymptomatic and pauci-symptomatic COVID-19 subjects? the intervention group will have vitamin D supplementation (200,000 IU / 1 ml of Cholecalciferol (1 ml) Oral form). Control group will have a placebo treatment (physiological saline). the negative RT-PCR date will be compared in the two groups

This is a phase I study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled Ampion on patients with prolonged respiratory symptoms due to COVID-19 (Long COVID).

Context: Until 70% of thrombotic event are reported during Sars-CoV2 infection. Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) tests are often positive. We aim to determine if aPL positivity is involved in thrombose of Sars-CoV2 infection investigating the effect of aPL on thrombin generation (TG) and leucocyte pathway activation (neutrophils extracellular traps (NETs) and activation of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1)). Method: We will compare plasma from five groups of subjects: patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and patients hospitalized for Sars-CoV-2 infection with or without aPL, and as control, patients with acute venous thromboembolism event and healthy volunteers. For each subject, we will analyze aPL, activated protein C (APC) resistance measured by TG and leukocytes markers as circulating neutrophils extracellular traps (NETs) and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells one (sTREM-1). We will control aPL test at three month and analyze their persistent positivity and association with thrombotic event. Results: we hypothesize that patients with COVID-19 and aPL will have a similar aPL and level of APS resistance that patients with APS. Also, we think that circulating NETs and sTREM-1 levels will be more important in patients with COVID-19 with aPL than patients without aPL and similar in patients with COVID-19 and aPL and patients with APS. Conclusion: our study will be the first to analyze the potential role of aPL on APC resistance measured by TG and neutrophil activation in COVID-19.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of proxalutamide or hospitalized moderate-to-severe COVID-19 patients.

Consecutive patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure, CT evidence of bilateral pneumonia and diagnosis of Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) with molecular nasopharyngeal swab consecutively admitted to the COVID Care Unit of the "Santa Maria delle Grazie" Hospital were enrolled. All the patients with clinical indication for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) were randomized 1:1 into two groups: Group A received a fixed Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) of 10 centimetre of water (cmH2O), Group B underwent the PEEP trial to identify the optimal PEEP (defined as the highest value that preceded the appearance of the "lung pulse" at lung ultrasound and that determined an increase in PaO2/FiO2 by at least 20%). Primary endpoint was defined as a composite in-hospital mortality+intubation, secondary endpoint was the improvement of PaO2/FiO2. As safety indicator, the incidence of pneumothorax was collected.
