Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The use of growth hormone in obese cases with COVID-19 may help them to recover earlier.

A comparison of a direct antigen test for SARS-CoV-2 obtained by mid-turbinate swab with the reference standard rt-PCR test obtained by nasopharyngeal swab in outpatients with symptoms compatible with COVID-19.

To investigate the comparison of differences between emotional and physical health status of adults in COVID-19 isolation period and controlled normalization period.

The study will be a randomized controlled trial, involving patients with hyposmia/anosmia of onset immediately after an upper respiratory viral illness, assigned to three distinct study arms. Nasal irrigations will be prescribed to all three groups (BID). In addition, one arm will receive a paper hand-out about post-viral anosmia with instructions to smell common household items (current care) and act as a control group. The second group will receive an essential oil retraining kit, whereas the third group will receive the same olfactory training kit and a prescription to use budesonide with the nasal irrigations. Olfactory scores will be tested at the enrollment, 3 months and at 6 months.

Mortality from Covid-19 increases with age, reaching 14.8% from the age of 80. The severity of the infection is linked to the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) which requires intensive care. ARDS is the consequence of the reactional inflammatory storm that damages the lungs. Aged subjects are particularly prone to zinc and vitamin D deficiency. These two micronutrients are able to modulate the immune response by reducing the inflammatory storm. The hypothesis is that supplementation with zinc and vitamin D would reduce the inflammatory reaction which worsens ARDS and leads to the death of subjects infected with Covid-19.

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether the study drug hydroxychloroquine can prevent infection with the COVID-19 virus, compared with placebo, in people who are receiving radiation therapy for their cancer. The placebo used in this study is a tablet that looks the same as the study drug and is taken in the same way, but it does not contain any active ingredients.

The performance of 3 different sampling methods (2 nasopharyngeal swabs, 1 oropharyngeal swab) for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 with real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction will be compared.

This is a single-arm open label trial for hospitalized patients with COVID-19 (Coronavirus). The primary endpoint of the study is to assess the requirement for mechanical ventilation in patients who are admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 infection and a Pulse Oxygen Level </= 93% on room air. The primary endpoint analysis will be performed using all enrolled patients.

The goal of this observational study is to determine 30-day mortality and post endoscopic surgery complications in patients with COVID-19 infection who undergo endoscopic surgery.This results will inform future risk stratification, decision making and improve patient's clinical care.This study is an investigator-led, non-commercial, non-interventional study is extremely low risk, or even zero risk.

This is a prospective multicenter study conducted to evaluate the performance of the LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 & Flu A/B tests at point of care sites. Subjects presenting with symptoms suggestive of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Influenza at the time of the study visit will be enrolled and asked to donate swab sample(s) for testing on the device under evaluation.
