Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

This is an open-label, multicenter, parallel-group, randomized, phase III trial that evaluates the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine and favipiravir in the treatment of patients with possible or confirmed COVID-19 observed within the last 5 days. 1000 patients will be randomized in 2:1:2:2:2:1 ratio and divided into six groups.

The overall objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of tocilizumab relative to placebo among approximately 300 hospitalized adult patients who have severe COVID-19. The study will be a 2 arm double blinded comparison between tocilizumab 8 mg/kg and matching placebo IV. The dose may be repeated in 8-12 hours if clinical symptoms worsens, (e.g. increase in oxygen requirements). Participants will be followed for 28 days.

The treatment of COVID-19 severe acute respiratory syndrome with ruxolitinib 5 mg orally every 12 hours during 14 days would stop the disproportionate inflammatory response, causing a reduction in the proportion of patients who show a progression and worsening of the severe acute respiratory syndrome.

The novel SARS-CoV-2 virus has quickly spread worldwide, with substantial morbidity and mortality. There is very limited understanding of the short- and longer-term inflammatory/immunological and clinical course. However, the investigators expect survivors from severe COVID-19 to experience persistent functional impairments, as demonstrated in prior studies of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and other acute viral illnesses. Notably, however, few studies have ever investigated the biologic mechanisms underlying these functional impairments. Understanding these features of COVID-19 will improve the ability to design acute therapies and recovery-focused interventions. To address these knowledge gaps, the investigators propose a two-center, 225 patient longitudinal prospective cohort study of hospitalized COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure. Researchers will perform an in-depth evaluation of inflammatory/immunological biomarkers, and physical, pulmonary, and neuropsychological clinical outcomes during hospitalization, and over 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up.

To evaluate the efficacy of using Desferal injections for prevention of ARDS in moderate cases with fever , chest tightness and relevant chest images

Randomized, controlled study conducted in hospitalized patients with severe COViD-19 pneumonia and coagulopathy not requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. Aim of this study is to assess whether high doses of Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) (ie. Enoxaparin 70 IU/kg twice daily) compared to standard prophylactic dose (ie, Enoxaparin 4000 IU once day) are: More effective to prevent clinical worsening, defined as the occurrence of at least one of the following events, whichever comes first, during hospital stay: Death Acute Myocardial Infarction [AMI] Objectively confirmed, symptomatic arterial or venous thromboembolism [TE] Need for either non-invasive - Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (Cpap) or Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) - or invasive mechanical ventilation for patients who are in standard oxygen therapy by delivery interfaces at randomisation Need for invasive mechanical ventilation for patients who are in non-invasive mechanical ventilation at randomisation Similar in terms of major bleeding risk during hospital stay

Study times to evaluate the efficacy of N-Acetylcysteine therapy in the management of adult admitted patients with COVID-19.

The purpose of this trial is to determine whether Prone Positioning (PP) improves outcomes for non-intubated hospitalized patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure due to COVID-19, who are not candidates for mechanical ventilation in the ICU. The investigators hypothesize that PP will reduce in-hospital mortality or discharge to hospice, compared with usual care for non-intubated patients with do-not-intubate goals of care with hypoxemic respiratory failure due to probable COVID-19.

Randomized, placebo controlled study to determine if nebulized heparin may reduce the severity of lung injury caused by the novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19

A randomized, open-label, multicenter, three-arm clinical trial to study the efficacy and safety of passive immunotherapy (convalescent plasma and anti-COVID-19 human immunoglobulin) compared to the standard treatment in Colombia.
