Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

A multicenter randomized clinical trial aiming to assess the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine associated to Zinc compared to hydroxychloroquine, in the prevention of Military Health Professionals Exposed to SARS CoV2 in Tunisia

The impact of the current Covid-19 pandemic on healthcare workers is enormous. This longitudinal study investigates the prevalence of mental health problems and the quality of life of healthcare workers during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. Underlying risk factors are also examined. Health care workers of the different Covid-19 cohort and transit wards, as well as the intensive care unit and (psychiatric) emergency services of the Ghent university hospital will be included, as well as the health care workers of 6 non-Covid-19 wards.

Older adults are at the highest risk of complications and severe illness for 2019-nCoV infections. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), an emerging chemoprophylaxis, which holds clinical and mechanistic plausibility, will help to reduce disease incidence and mitigate disease severity across in-patient settings. This study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of post-exposure prophylaxis with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for the prevention of Coronavirus Infectious Disease-19 (COVID-19) in high-risk older individuals in long-term and specialized care.

The specificity of the adaptive immune response (AIR), and its balance between effector T cells (Teffs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs), is most likely a major determinant of the outcome of a Covid-19 infection. We aim to analyze (i) the cellular components and (ii) the specificity of the AIR to COVID-19 in 60 patients with moderate and severe form of the disease. This should have important implications for (i) understanding the pathophysiology of the disease, (ii) discovering biomarkers of severity and (iii) designing treatments and vaccines.

The study aims to analyze the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on the academic performance of veterinary students, veterinarians, and researchers during the lockdown.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a relentlessly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive weakness involving limb, bulbar, and respiratory muscles.There is currently no information suggesting how COVID-19 affects patients diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This is especially important as respiratory compromise is common in ALS patients and can complicate the clinical course as COVID-19 could lead to respiratory failure and need for intubation. We intend that this registry will guide our understanding of how COVID-19 affects patients with ALS.

Clinical observation has found that COVID-19 patients often present inconsistency of clinical features, nucleic acid of the SARS-CoV-2 and imaging findings, which brings challenges to the management of patients.The quantitative assessment of patients' pulmonary lesions of chest CT, combined with the basic information, epidemiological history, clinical symptoms, basic diseases and other information of patients, will quickly establish a reliable prediction model for the severe COVID-19. This model will greatly contribute to the effective diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19.

The present study aims to investigate the endothelial vasodilator function in patients with COVID-19

Povidone iodine (PVP-I) is a well-known broad spectrum, resistance free antimicrobial agent that has a long history of safe and effective use. Halodine Nasal Antiseptic is formulated for topical application PVP-I to nasal passages, and has demonstrated effectiveness against SARS-COV-2 in vitro - 99.99% inactivation within 15 seconds. This study will evaluate the ability of Halodine Nasal Antiseptic to impact SARS-CoV-2 in vivo.

Researchers know that the virus that causes COVID-19 has been found in the saliva (spit) of individuals who exhibit signs of the disease. Investigators would like to test the ability of three mouthwashes to reduce the levels of this virus in participants' mouths. Investigators will ask participants to use a liquid to swish around in the mouth for 30 seconds and spit it into a collection cup. Investigators will also collect spit from participants before and after participants use the mouthwash. Although participants will have no direct benefits from the study, investigators will gain a wealth of information that would benefit patients who are at risk for COVID-19.
