Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

Prone positioning is one of the few therapies known to improve mortality in ARDS. Traditionally, patients are proned for 16 hours per 24 hour period. Some retrospective data suggests improvement may persist beyond 16 hours. We aim to perform a pilot study comparing traditional prone positioning to prolonged prone positioning in patients with COVID-induced ARDS.

The Innovative Support for Patients with SARS COV-2 Infections Registry (INSPIRE) study is a CDC-funded COVID-19 project to understand the long-term health outcomes in recently tested adults, both negative and positive, who have suspected COVID symptoms at the time of their test. Participants will complete short online surveys every 3 months for 18 months, share information about their health using a secure web-based platform, and are compensated for their time.

Prospective study in a group of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.

This will be a prospective observational study of lactating mothers who are planning to, have scheduled or have received vaccination against SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19 vaccine). Mothers may have delivered at Mount Sinai Hospital or may be from the general public recruited by social media or word of mouth. As the study participants will be lactating mothers, they will not be under the care of the investigators. Due to lack of information, we are unsure of an appropriate sample size but envision we will recruit at least 10 women each immunized with the approved mRNA vaccines (e.g. Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines) and in the future at least two other vaccines (e.g. Oxford-AstraZeneca) as they are approved and become available. Milk samples will be analyzed for the presence of antibody to SARS-CoV-2 using the Anti-SARS-CoV-2 ELISA (IgG and IgA). These analyses will be conducted in the Department of Microbiology at Sinai Health following validation of the procedures in human milk.

Implementation of a supervised rehabilitation program in patients recovering from COVID-19-infection who suffer from limitations and symptoms due to the disease 6 to 8 weeks from hospital discharge. Patients who have been seriously ill and have been admitted to the ward with high oxygen mixtures or have been admitted to the ICU will be selected primarily. The program includes supervised rehabilitation sessions 2 times a week for 2 months. Patients will be evaluated during recruitment and at the end of the program. Patients who can not attend the program due to logistical/transport issues will be re-evaluated in 2 months and constitute the control population. Investigators hypothesis is that post COVID-19 patients who have persistent symptoms, including fatigue following a supervised rehabilitation program will have fewer symptoms after the end of the program compared to similar patients who do not attend a rehabilitation program.

Adults who have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection and who may require supplemental oxygen will receive PUL-042 Inhalation Solution or placebo 3 times over a one week period in addition to their normal care. Subjects will be be followed and assessed for their clinical status over 28 days to see if PUL-042 Inhalation Solution improves the clinical outcome

PRIORITY (Pregnancy CoRonavIrus Outcomes RegIsTrY) is a prospective cohort study of pregnant and recently pregnant women who are: either patients under investigation for COVID-19 or a confirmed case of COVID-19. Data from PRIORITY will be used to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the clinical course and pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women and women within 6 weeks of pregnancy.

We will study genetic factors causing severe disease due to infection with SARS-COV-2 which may help to find targeted therapy

This was a multi-center prospective study. All consecutive severe cases of COVID-19 whose PO2/FiO2<300mmHg with invasive ventilation admitted to 5 fixed-point receive COVID-19 patients hospitals in Wuhan from 5 March to 15 March 2020 were included. Epidemiological, clinical data, lung mechanics, artery blood gas test and hemodynamics at three methods to titrate PEEP, optimizing oxygenation, optimizing compliance, ARDSnet. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Zhongda Hsopital, Southeast University.

The purpose of the current study is to accelerate the use of a clinically available therapeutic already FDA-approved for other indications in the setting of pandemic COVID-19 addressing a serious and emergent unmet medical need. This is a randomized, double-blind study of atovaquone therapy in adult participants hospitalized with COVID-19. Approximately 60 participants who meet all eligibility criteria may be randomized in a 2:1 atovaquone/placebo ratio into one of the following treatment groups: Treatment Group 1: continued standard of care therapy together with an oral dose of 1500 mg atovaquone twice daily (administered with a meal or snack) for up to 10 days Treatment Group 2: continued standard of care therapy together with matching placebo
