Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

As part of the COVID-19 response, BRAC has built 1000 public handwashing stations in several hundred villages in 20 sub-districts of Bangladesh. The investigators investigate the effects of two sets of behavioural interventions on use of the handwashing stations, compared to no additional interventions. The first set comprises passive nudges installed on and around the handwashing station, aimed at attracting people to the station. The second set comprises actively delivered higher-intensity interventions, including free soap offered as an incentive for using the handwashing station and a community board used to display social proof. This set of interventions aims to increase motivation to use the station.

Evaluate the safety and effect of ORTD-1 on COVID-19 related pneumonia.

VBI-2902a and VBI-2905a are investigational vaccine candidates that use enveloped virus-like particle (eVLP) expression of a modified version of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein and are designed to induce neutralizing antibody and cell-mediated immune responses against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. VBI-2902a expresses the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan isolate (the first virus variant isolated in 2019 in Wuhan, China), while VBI-2905a expresses the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 variant Beta (B.1.351 variant, first isolated in 2020 in South Africa). The Phase 1a portion of this study tests one- and two-dose regimens of VBI- 2902a with 5 μg S protein content and aluminum phosphate (alum) adjuvant or placebo delivered by intramuscular (IM) injection. The Phase 1b portion of the study tests a one-dose regimen of VBI-2905a with 5 μg S protein content and alum adjuvant or placebo delivered by IM injection in participants previously vaccinated with an authorized mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

This is a Phase 1/2a clinical trial to assess the safety and immunogenicity of AdCLD-CoV19 in healthy adults.

The aim of this study will test the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of RLS-0071 for approximately 28 days in comparison to a placebo control in patients with acute lung injury due to COVID-19 pneumonia in early respiratory failure. Patients will be randomized and double-blinded for two parts, a single-ascending dose (SAD) part and a multiple-ascending dose (MAD) part. The name of the study drug involved in this study is: RLS-0071.

This is a Phase 1/2, randomized, placebo-controlled, and observer-blind study in healthy Japanese adults. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccine candidate against COVID-19: As 2 doses, separated by 21 days At a single dose level In adults 20 to 85 years of age

The COVID-19 pandemic challenges available hospital capacity. Strategies to protect health care workers (HCW) are desperately needed. Bacille Calmette- Guérin (BCG) has protective non-specific effects against other infections; a plausible immunological mechanism has been identified in terms of "trained innate immunity". The primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether BCG can reduce unplanned absenteeism due to illness among HCW during the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondary objectives are to reduce the number of HCW that are infected with COVID-19, reduce hospital admissions for HCW and to improve the capacity for clinical research. Design: Single-blind, parallel-group placebo-controlled multi-centre block randomized trial including a total of 1050 HCW. The study sites will be the Manhiça hospital in Mozambique, Central Hospital Dr. Agostinho Neto and Central Hospital Dr. Baptista de Sousa in Cape Verde and Hospital Nacional Simão Mendes and other hospitals in the capital Bissau in Guinea-Bissau. Population: HCW (nurses/physicians/others) ≥18 years. Intervention: Block randomization 1:1 to intradermal standard dose (0.1 ml) of BCG vaccine or placebo (saline). Endpoints: Primary: Days of unplanned absenteeism due to illness. Secondary: Days of absenteeism because of documented COVID-19; cumulative incidence of infectious disease hospitalizations. Follow-up: mobile phone interviews every second week, regarding symptoms, absenteeism and causes, COVID-19 testing (if done) and their results. Perspectives: If BCG can reduce HCW absenteeism it has global implications. The intervention can quickly be scaled up all over the world.

Latinos have been one of the racial/ethnic groups most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and evidence of effective strategies to curb the pandemic, reduce disparities, and mitigate its impact is lacking and very urgent. The goal of this competitive revision is to expand an ongoing academic-community partnership to adapt, implement, and evaluate a multi-level intervention to mitigate the multi-dimensional toll of COVID19 among Latino immigrant communities in Philadelphia.

A non-inferiority randomized controlled trial that aims to determine the effectiveness and adherence of the use of closed-face shields and surgical face masks in comparison with the use of surgical face masks for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection in working adults in the city of Bogota, Colombia.
