Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

To measure the frequency of persistent liver dysfunction (raised liver enzymes, serum albumin, prothrombin time, etc) in recovered COVID -19 patients. To compare the hepatic manifestations in post COVID -19 patients with and without liver disease

There is an urgent need to rapidly evaluate anti-Covid 19 vaccination treatments, in terms of immune response (humoral and cell-mediated) together with the verification of the effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection in thalassemic subjects. It is also necessary to increase scientific knowledge in order to improve clinical practice to have presence responses and maintenance extent of the response to vaccinations against encapsulated bacteria carried out previously. The objectives of the main study are: Evaluate the appearance, extent, and duration of humoral response (antibodies) to the anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine; Assess the incidence of positive cases after vaccination. The objective of the first sub-study is: - Evaluate the appearance, extent, and duration of cellular response (T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes) to the anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine based on age groups and the presence/absence of hypo/asplenia. The objective of the second sub-study is: - Evaluate the presence and extent of the response to previous vaccinations to encapsulated bacteria.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether the drug uproleselan can help patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Investigators will study both the side effects of the drug and assess if the drug will help patients recover more quickly and slow down the progression of acute respiratory failure.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which is caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in an ongoing global pandemic. It is unclear whether the relatively low number of reported cases of COVID-19 in people with CF (pwCF) is due to enhanced infection prevention practices or whether pwCF have protective genetic/immune factors. This study aims to prospectively assess the proportion of pwCF, including both adults and children with CF who have evidence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies over a two-year period. This study will also examine whether pwCF who have antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 have a different clinical presentation and what impact this has on their CF disease. The proposed study will recruit pwCF from paediatric and adult CF centres in Europe. Serological testing to detect antibodies will be performed on blood samples taken at month 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24 with additional time-points if bloodwork is available via normal clinical care. Clinical data on, lung function, CF-related medical history, pulmonary exacerbations, antibiotic use, and microbiology and vaccination receipt, will be collected during routine clinical assessments. Associations will be examined between socio-demographic and clinical variables and serologic testing. The effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on clinical outcomes and analyse end-points will be examined to explore any age-related or gender-based differences, as well as subgroup analysis of outcomes in lung-transplant recipients and pwCF receiving CFTR modulator therapies. As pwCF receive COVID-19 vaccination a comparison of the development and progression of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in pwCF following natural infection and vaccination SARS-CoV-2 over time will be performed.

The novel coronavirus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was discovered for the first time in December 2019 in Wuhan (China) and the disease it causes is called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Now, this pandemic is rapidly spreading all over the world. Pregnant have higher rates of COVID-19, associated with hospitalizations, and severe in-hospital outcomes. Immune responses may have a potential role in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of patients with COVID-19. So we need of identifying biomarkers for disease severity and progression.

There are 2 types of surgical procedures to remove the appendix : open appendectomy or laparoscopic appendectomy. About 60000 appendectomies are performed every year in France. Early diagnosis of acute appendicitis is essential to prevent the risk of disease progression, leading to complicated appendicitis and an increased risk for mortality. Data regarding appendicitis management in the literature are numerous. However, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the management of those patients has led to a decrease in the number of visits for acute appendicitis (ER), but a higher proportion of complicated appendicitis, probably due to the patient's delayed decision to go to emergency department at the onset of clinical symptoms. Complicated appendicitis may also lead to an overuse of antibiotics, a longer hospital stay, and a higher global cost for the health system. This aim of this study was to evaluate whether this hypothesis was valid for the regional NANCY-METZ area (CHR Metz and CHRU Nancy). The main research hypothesis was that the pandemic caused by SARS-COVID 19 was significantly linked to an increased incidence of perioperative complications in patients who underwent an appendectomy for acute appendicitis in this region (North-east part of France).

The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has affected over 2.4 million individuals worldwide and has resulted in >171,000 deaths. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important contributor to death in these patients. Those who develop cardiac injury during infection have a 4-fold increased risk of death. Furthermore, pre-existing CVD or cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. diabetes, hypertension) are associated with worse outcomes. Given the recent emergence of this disease, there is limited understanding of: (i) the risk factors for cardiovascular events, (ii) blood biomarkers for early recognition, and drug targeting, of patients at risk of adverse outcomes, and (iii) the short term subclinical and clinical cardiovascular manifestations in those who survive to discharge.

A Phase 2 multi-center, assessor-blind, randomized study to assess the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of brequinar in combination with dipyridamole.

to identify the diagnostic accuracy of chest X-ray in diagnosis of Coronavirus disease19 .
