Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

This study is designed for single-center, randomized, open label, standard therapy controlled. 60 COVID-19 subjects with a treatment period of 10 days and follow-up until 28 days after enrollment.

This study will conduct an evaluation of a program that is being implemented SickKids / Toronto Public Health that provides take-home saliva testing kits in schools. Operationally, there is a planned randomization so that all schools have an equitable chance to receive the intervention at various time periods during the planned operational roll-out, which will require a staggered implementation consistent with the stepped-wedge study design. This study will leverage this chance implementation to do a robust evaluation of the public health intervention. Schools that are not being rolled out to week one, will begin in the "control phase" (testing at an assessment center, primary care or acute care center) and transition to the program "intervention phase" (take home saliva kits available at schools) at a randomly assigned time (wedge) over a 6-week period with all schools receiving the program by the end of the study. The investigators will evaluate the impact of the program on SARS-CoV-2 case identification in schools.

The purpose of this study is to learn how to better detect infection and understand how severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes lung disease and is spread. The novel device called PneumoniaCheck is a safe way to collect material from the lung from coughs. Study participants will collect cough specimens over a 24 hour period.

The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by acute respiratory syndrome severe coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), emerged in Wuhan in December 2019 and has spread which poses a serious threat to public health. While 80% of the patients are asymptomatic or have a mild illness, 20% develop a serious illness. Predominant symptoms include fever, cough, and myalgias. Most children have one mild or asymptomatic disease that can be resolved without medical attention and that, exceptionally, may progress to pneumonia and respiratory failure requiring hospitalization Schools have started the course with strict protocols to prevent the transmission of SARS-Cov-2 among the members of the educational communities and thus avoid an uncontrollability of the epidemic. These protocols include scaled entrances in the centers and differentiated circulation to optimize compliance with social distance. They also include the creation of coexistence groups, the Ventilation of the spaces, hand washing, disinfection of furniture, and wearing a face mask. One key point in the prevention of infection is the rapid detection of infected individuals, their isolation immediate and quarantine, and screening of coexistence groups of positive cases. The diagnosis of Suspicious cases from both schools and other settings is done with a PCR, mostly in Primary Care Centers (PCC). This is causing an increased considerable volume of work for primary care centers. In addition to the overload of the PCCs, the waiting time between sampling and PCR means that the person must remain at home until the result is obtained, with the negative impact that this means on the daily lives of students, teachers, and families. The use of a quick test performed on the own schools and with staff from the center itself trained to do this first screening would have three very relevant consequences for the system: Speed up the diagnosis and minimize the waiting time between the presentation of symptoms and quarantine of the whole group (if positive) Avoid a waiting time at home with the alteration - often unnecessary - of the day of students, their families, and school staff. Decongest the PCCs, receiving only the cases that need confirmation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the Bio-Self COVID-19 Antigen Home Test. The study will evaluate the accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) in a simulated home use environment when compared to a high-sensitivity Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay.

A Multicenter Study Conducted to Evaluate the Performance of the LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 & FLU A/B Test, and LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 & RSV Test at Point of Care Testing Sites. Subjects presenting with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 and/or Influenza and/or RSV will be consented and asked to donate swab sample(s) for testing in the device(s) under evaluation.

Coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV2, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV can cause significant morbidity and mortality in infected persons. Lung is the most common site of infection for these viruses, which may manifest as acute respiratory distress syndrome and mortality. Pulmonary involvement is also responsible for the high viral transmission The aim of this study is to evaluate BAL in post-acute COVID-19 patients for:Cytological and cellular patterns. Microbial analysis for possibility of presence of bacterial, mycobacerial or fungal co-infection.PCR for corona virus

Serological surveys measuring anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (anti-SARS-CoV-2) antibodies in the population to assess the extent of the infection and the COVID-19 immunity of the population in French Guiana.

Evaluation of the ddPCR ability to detect the SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal samples of symptomatic patients with suspected COVID-19 infection using an IgG serological assay (EUROIMMUN Anti-SARS-Cov2 ELISA Ig) as gold/reference standard (FDA validated commercial serologic test).

This is a research study to evaluate the Sensitivity and Specificity of BIOZEK COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test on samples collected by a healthcare professional versus self-collection; and to perform analysis to compare results. In addition, to obtain RT-PCR test results, performed prior to enrollment, and compare all three results.
