Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The RT-PCR on rhino-pharynge sampling highlights the genetic material of the virus and indicates that a subject is infected with SARS-CoV-2. This test can be in about 30% of false negative cases, it does not allow to date the infection, nor to predict the asymptomatic, mild, moderate or severe evolution of the disease. In terms of public health, we need 1/ to better understand the chronology of the immune response to the virus in the general population and in contacts of index cases; 2/ To know which characteristics of the immune response are protective of future reinfections. Finally, in symptomatic subjects, we need biomarkers that predict the evolutionary mode of the disease (moderate vs. severe form).

The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of a machine learning algorithm which identifies patients for whom hydroxychloroquine treatment is associated with predicted survival.

Patients with mild and severe COVID 19 will be randomized 1:1 into two groups: experimental, which will get bromhexine and spironolactone, and control. Patients will get investigated therapy for ten days. Change in clinical assessment score COVID 19 (CAS COVID 19) between baseline and 12th day will be evaluated as a primary endpoint. Forty-five-day risk of death or mechanical ventilation will also be assessed.

This study is designed as a prospective, multicentric, clinical study to investigate the performance of the Panbio™ COVID-19/ Flu A&B Rapid Panel for the qualitative detection of COVID-19 antigen, Influenza A antigen (H1N1 and H3N2), and Influenza B antigen in human nasal swabs. This study is part of the performance evaluation to support the CE conformity assessment procedures.

The primary objective is to assess the impact of hydroxychloroquine in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and risk factors for severe/critical disease.

This proposed study will assess how COVID-19 and the associated 'stay at home' orders are affecting low-income Rwandan couples' relationships and family dynamics. The study builds on an existing randomized controlled trial of the Bandebereho fathers/couples intervention (NCT02694627), which will allow us to assess not only the current conditions in households, but also whether or how the significant impacts of the intervention are sustained under extreme stress.

Patients who are ill with COVID-19 may benefit from receiving convalescent plasma infusions containing antibodies from donors who have recovered from the disease and are proven to no longer be infected. Given the current public health emergency due to COVID-19, the FDA has recently fast-tracked the use of convalescent plasma. The purpose for this study is to assess if convalescent plasma collected from donors previously infected with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, can provide clinical benefit to those acutely ill with the virus and to evaluate if such treatment is safe. There will be two arms in the interventional study, where subjects will either be treated with convalescent plasma or fresh frozen plasma in a randomized and blinded manner. As an additional comparison, the clinical course of subjects enrolled during the period of the study who do not receive an alternative treatment for COVID-19 will be assessed.

Metabolomics is the analysis of small molecules in a biological sample (cells, tissues or biological fluids). It can potentially detect very sensitively any change related to a pathology or exposure to a toxic agent. The analyses are fast, inexpensive and therefore applicable in routine, particularly in health care. Given the emergence of this new disease, COVID-19, there is a real need to better understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this context, metabolomics could have a place and could lead to the development of interesting diagnostic or prognostic tools. The objective of this study is to identify, through the analysis of biological samples (blood and urine), whether there is a metabolomic signature in patients with COVID-19.

The purpose of this prospective, Phase 2, multicenter, blinded, randomized placebo controlled study is to demonstrate that early treatment with mavrilimumab prevents progression of respiratory failure in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia and clinical and biological features of hyper-inflammation.

The aim of the study is to demonstrate the feasibility and validity of a saliva based home surveillance monitoring test for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants will be asked to carry out as many tests as are included in the bag they are provided, on a daily basis until they are used up.
