Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

Evaluating the rate of exposure to the virus in the close contact population who shared the home of a person infected with SARS-CoV-2 at the time of infection of the index case - adults or children - is a major factor in assessing the spread. virus in the family environment, assess the factors of circulation and determine whether immunity has been acquired. Screening for specific antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 will determine the exposure and protection acquired against this virus. Knowing the intra-family secondary transmission rate is essential for supporting the strategies for lifting the confinement envisaged and implementing a personalized approach. As of March 8, a platform for the home management of COVID + patients was set up when they, pauci or moderately symptomatic, do not require hospitalization. As of May 6, 2020, 881 patients have been registered in COVID and followed, constituting the active COVIDOM / PSL file. Of the 512 patients included between March 1 and 31, 45% have a household consisting of 3 people. All patients had weekly clinical follow-up by telephone for the duration of the disease with a maximum of 4 weeks having been achieved. If the recommendations of barrier gestures, isolation in an apartment were made during the symptomatic phase, the absence of masks available to all did not allow, in practice, to achieve the isolation and quarantine recommended ideally. to break the transmission of the virus. The FAMI-CoV study proposes to assess the rate of exposure to the virus in contacts sharing the same focus of index cases. A sub-study will assess the proportion of antibodies that have been neutralizing.

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study to evalaute viral load in saliva of COVID19+ patients using quantitative PCR, before and after use of active or placebo rinses

The COVID-19 outbreak is having an impact on the well-being of healthcare workers. Previous reports on pandemics show that such an impact may last beyond the time of the outbreak. Mindfulness-based interventions help healthcare professionals to reduce stress and may foster resilience and recovery, although they have never been tested in a context such as the current one. This single-arm trial explores the acceptability, safety and usefulness of an on-site, brief Mindfulness-based intervention to reduce stress for front line health workers during a crisis.

This is a double blind randomized placebo controlled study will be conducted on 124 subjects, 50 years and older with mild or asymptomatic COVID-19. If symptomatic, symptoms are mild (cough, weakness, sore throat, low grade fever 38.50С, respiratory rate should not be more than 22 / min, resting SpO2 >95%, normal highly sensitive C-reactive protein (HS-CRP) (<10mg/L). There are no signs of dehydration, sepsis or shortness of breath. The study will be conducted at two centers. There will be a screening visit at Day -4 followed by three visits at the center at Days 1, 7 and 15 and a follow-up visit on Day 28. All participants will be randomized to receive either ViraCide (investigational product) or matching placebo. All subjects will receive SOC therapy. Note: If subject is discharged before Day 15 PI's discretion as per patients health condition, then assessments scheduled for Day 15 will be carried out on the discharge day (as far as possible and those not performed will be noted on appropriate CRF page) and Day 15 visit will be done telephonically.

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of a 4-week, virtually-delivered expressive writing intervention on resilience in a cohort of parents and caregivers currently navigating the COVID-19 pandemic during spring & summer of 2020.

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of Ad26.COV2.S at 2 dose levels, administered intramuscularly (IM) as a single-dose or 2-dose schedule, with a single booster vaccination administered in one cohort in healthy adults aged greater than or equal to (>=) 18 to less than or equal to (<=) 55 years and in adults aged >= 65 years in good health with or without stable underlying conditions. The purpose of the study is also to assess the safety and reactogenicity of Ad26.COV2.S administered as ad hoc booster vaccination in healthy adults aged >= 18 to <= 55 years and in adults >= 65 years in good health with or without stable underlying conditions.

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of brainstem dysfunction in critically ill ventilated and deeply sedated patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for a SARS-CoV-s2 infection.

The response to COVID-19 means social isolation/distancing for the majority of the UK. This has the potential to negatively affect all domains of quality of life (QoL). QoL can be improved by giving feedback on gaps between someone's perceived QoL in a domain and how important it is to them (plus prompting reflective questions). However, interventions that are designed to improve QoL may increase the effectiveness of this as optimised behaviour change techniques can be used. This study aims to develop and test a quality of life intervention during social isolation/distancing.

The pathophysiology of ARDS is linked to an uncontrolled inflammatory response at the level of alveolo-capillary membrane, mediated by neutrophils and mononuclear cells. The complement system and anaphylatoxin C5a have shown central role in the recruitment of these pro-inflammatory cells and more broadly in the genesis of cytokinic storm syndrome. C5a acts via receptors C5aR and C5L2. This is a preliminary study aimed at studying the expression of the C5a receptor on myeloid cells in peripheral blood of patients with ARDS secondary to COVID-19. This study has of primary objective to show there is an overexpression of the C5a receptor in patients with ARDS secondary to COVID-19 compared to control patients (patients with COVID-19 without respiratory distress and healthy volunteers). The medium-term objective is to develop a clinical trial to test the effectiveness of anti-C5aR antibody in this condition.

In patients infected by the SARS-Cov-2 Coronavirus a severely progressive disease requiring hospitalization in intensive care seems related to deregulation of cytokines with very high levels of IL-6, IL-2, IL-7, IL-10 and TNF-α. In order to elucidate the mechanism of this hyper inflammatory syndrome we will measure a panel of pro and anti inflammatory cytokines, as well as known markers of macrophage activation syndrome. To determine the role of activation of the complement cascade the most important complement factors and their activation markers will be measured. The changes of those parameters will be monitored after administration of an anti-IL6R antibody therapy.
