Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The purpose of this research is to determine if CGM (continuous glucose monitors) used in the hospital in patients with COVID-19 and diabetes treated with insulin will be as accurate as point of care (POC) glucose monitors. Also if found to be accurate, CGM reading data will be used together with POC glucometers to dose insulin therapy.

The new coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), due to the alarming levels of spread, severity and inaction. Dealing with COVID-19 must be done on different fronts, such as mitigation, treatment and prevention. Therefore, strategies and therapies that can help reduce the COVID-19 rate of contamination are still important alternatives at this time of the pandemic. The Advanced Penetration Technology™ (APT™) is intellectual property owned by Patient Focused Tele-Health, LLC, a Rockwall, Texas based company. The company's focus is improving over-the-counter (OTC) topical formulations, allowing consumers better therapeutic outcomes with non-prescription medications. The Advanced Penetration Technology™ (APT™) is a patent-pending, proprietary transdermal dual carrier formulation. This formulation provides improved dermal penetration and efficacy of topical API's. Additionally, the APT™ imparts both a mechanical and biochemical effect on the microbe/fungal cell walls providing a highly effective method of destruction of microbes. These unique properties impart the broad spectrum anti-viral capability to the APT™ Tetracycline 3% formulation, breaking barriers in pharmacology and virology. The topical formulation APT™ Tetracycline 3% formulation (APT ™ T3X), is a FDA registered, Non-Prescription product. This formulation is used in an off label manner as an intranasal application for prevention of COVID-19 and other viruses. The APT™ T3X as a topical application will penetrate through and into the mucus layer and deeper. This barrier of coverage will provide a mitigation effect to decrease the viral load of exposure and infection. The efficacy of APT™ T3X is due to disrupting the lipid envelope in seconds, hence neutralizing the virus. Previous tests were performed with APT™ T3X and the results found were promising. However, these tests were performed only in vitro and clinical studies demonstrating the ability of the APT™ T3X to decrease viral exposure and contamination by COVID-19 are necessary to confirm the possible prophylactic effect, allowing the formulation to be widely distributed to the general population. Therefore, the aim of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of the APT™ T3X compared to placebo to decrease COVID-19 contamination rate in humans.

This study will assess the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of AG0302-COVID19 in healthy adult volunteers.

A multicenter, 3-arm randomized dose finding study in the UK to evaluate safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of a vaccine candidate against Covid-19. 150 healthy volunteers will be enrolled and receive two shots of the vaccine candidate. All participants who receive two doses of the vaccine candidate will be invited to participate in the Booster phase.

This study aims to improve the personal protective equipment (PPE) used while treating patients with COVID-19, to protect staff and avoid cross-infection of patients. Protecting staff from infection during the Covid pandemic is critical to maintaining health services. Mistakes in using protective equipment (PPE) are the commonest avoidable factor in staff becoming infected at work. Recently, intensive care doctors have also reported an increase in the spread of dangerous multi-resistant bacteria between patients, which appears likely to be transmitted between patients by Level 2 PPE worn by staff (specifically gown sleeves). This study therefore seeks to develop and test a new protocol to decrease cross-infection risks whilst using Level 2 PPE.

This is a Phase 3, randomized, observer-blind study in healthy individuals. The primary study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccine candidate (BNT162b2): As a 30-microgram dose, administered from 1 of 4 manufacturing lots (batches) As a 20-microgram dose, administered from 1 of the manufacturing lots As a 2-dose (separated by 21 days) schedule In people 12 through 50 years of age The booster study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 2 SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccine candidates (BNT162b2 and BNT162b2.B.1.351): Each as a 30-microgram dose Each as a 1-dose booster vaccine, administered approximately 3 months after Dose 2 In people 18 through 50 years of age

Clinical study of Humira (adalimumab) or placebo in subjects with mild-moderate COVID-19

This study will be conducted in 2 phases. Phase 1 designed to evaluate safety, tolerability and immunogenicity COVID-19 vaccine (NDV-HXP-S) administered at different doses levels (1, 3, and 10 µg) without adjuvant, and at two different dose levels (1 and 3 µg) with the adjuvant CpG 1018 among healthy adults, (age 18-59 years) (210 subjects). Subjects will receive 2 doses of assigned investigational product (IP) on D1 and D29 (V1 and V3), and be assessed in clinic for safety and reactogenicity at 7 days after each vaccination (day 1 as day vaccination). An interim analysis of Phase 1 data will be conducted as the basis for decisions about advancement to Phase 2 of the study and about treatment group down selection. Phase 2 (250 subjects) will include approximately one-third subjects with age 60-75 years.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is highly transmittable person-to-person when an infected individual coughs, sneezes or talks while within at least 6 feet (1.8 m) of a neighboring individual. Guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that nose and mouth facial coverings are recommended at all levels for source control as a simple barrier to help prevent respiratory droplet transmission. It is important to remember that increased viral shedding occurs during elevated ventilatory rates that are observed during exercise within a shared space, such as gyms or fitness studios increase the rate of transmission. However, there is limited research studying the effects of mask use during exercise, and no research evaluating these effects specifically during resistance-based exercise. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation is to examine the effects of wearing a surgical face mask while performing resistance exercise on average peak force, total work, heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO2) and breathing discomfort.

This is an open label, randomized, controlled, pilot clinical study in patients with COVID-19, to obtain preliminary biologic, physiologic, and clinical data in patients with COVID-19 treated with rhACE2 or control patients, to help determine whether a subsequent Phase 2B trial is warranted.
