Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

Aim: To investigate the efficacy of systemic corticosteroids in treatment for Post-COVID-19 Interstitial Lung Disease. Method: Method: In this multi-centre, prospective, randomised controlled open label clinical trial, patients are divided into two arms: standard treatment arm and standard plus systemic corticosteroid arm. After twelve weeks; clinical, functional, and radiological improvement will being assessed as primary outcomes.

In this trial, patients that are severely affected by the disease COVID-19 will either receive infliximab, an anti-inflammatory drug, or standard therapy. Infliximab is a drug that inhibits inflammation by blocking a molecule called TNFα. The patients receive the drug via an infusion into a vein. The primary goal of this trial is to see whether the drug infliximab affects how many people died from COVID-19 after 28 days by comparing patients receiving the drug in addition to standard therapy with patients only receiving standard therapy. Furthermore, this trial will look at whether the drug is safe to use in these patients, whether it has an effect on the inflammation and whether it can affect how ill patients are after surviving the disease. The trial is conducted in more than one hospital. As COVID-19 is responsible for a global pandemic, positive results of this trial could affect patients, healthcare and economic systems worldwide.

Explore the effects on immune response to include a potential third vaccine for the cancer cohort.

An interventional, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will be conducted to investigate the effect of a probiotic strain on the immune response in participants positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study duration will be 28 days, which includes 4 weeks product administration. Participants will be randomized assigned to one of the two study groups: the control group with placebo consumption and a probiotic consumption group.

To study the efficacy and safety of icatibant in adult patients admitted to hospitalization units for pneumonia caused by COVID-19, without mechanical ventilation, 10±1 days after starting treatment or discharge from hospital if this occurs before 10 days.

This study is a randomized, double-blinded, and placebo controlled phase III clinical trial which aims to investigate the superiority of hydroxychloroquine, favipiravir or hydroxychloroquine + favipiravir treatment, initiated especially in the early period in the treatment of COVID-19, over the patients being followed up with placebo in adults aged 18~59 Years.

the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of relaxation techniques on immune biomarkers and disease severity and progression in patients with COVID-19 and the period to which these changes last.

A clinical trial was conducted with human participation in order to assess the safety and efficacy of the medical device "TOR device for non-invasive electromagnetic therapy" when used as an adjunct in combination with standard COVID-19 treatment methods to accelerate the elimination (elimination) of the SARS-COV-2 virus from the nasopharynx in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Device principle of operation is based on the use of weak electromagnetic radiation, continuously induced by high-voltage pulses on the launcher of a pulsed electromagnetic field electrodes and causing noise in the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The study included 236 patients who met all of the specified criteria: male and female patients aged ≥ 18 years with a coronavirus infection COVID-19 established diagnosis after specific testing, with a course of moderate disease, who do not require mechanical ventilation at the time of enrollment in the study. Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus had to be confirmed by PCR (nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab). Informed consent was obtained from all patients. Results were statistically evaluated for 222 patients due to death and exclusion from the clinical study of 14 patients. Patients of the test group were exposed to the "TOR" device for at least 5 (five) consecutive days for at least 4 hours daily in the 15 + 15 mode (15 minutes exposure + 15 minutes break) in combination with standard therapy. Patients in the placebo group were exposed to the switched off "TOR" device in combination with standard therapy. The control group received standard therapy. Standard therapy was prescribed in accordance with the recommended treatment regimens presented in the current version of the Temporary guidelines of the Ministry of Health of Russia "Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of coronavirus infection (COVID-19) No. 9 dated 26.10. 2020)". The study had the periods of screening (day 1, visit 0 - V0), treatment (days 2-6, visits 1-5 - V1-V5), discharge (day 7-14, visit 6 - V6), follow-up (day 26 -30, visit 7 - V7). As a result of the clinical trial, it was established: "The device of non-invasive electromagnetic therapy "TOR" is safe when used as directed; effective as an adjuvant in combination with standard COVID-19 treatments to accelerate the elimination of the SARS-COV-2 virus from the nasopharynx.

Pilot study of tolerability and efficacy of transfusion of 200mL of convalescent plasma in patients with COVID-19 respiratory disease.

This is a multicenter, single-treatment study. Subjects will consist of adults with COVID-19 associated acute lung injury who are being cared for in a critical care environment.
