Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and toxicity profile of the combination of famotidine and oral n-acetyl cysteine in adult outpatients with newly diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The SARS-CoV2 pandemic and resulting COVID-19 infection has led to a large increase in the number of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS is a severe, life-threatening medical condition characterised by inflammation and fluid in the lungs. There is no proven therapy to reduce fluid leak, also known as pulmonary oedema, in ARDS. However, recent studies have discovered that imatinib strengthens the cell barrier and prevents fluid leak in the lungs in inflammatory conditions, while leaving the immune response intact. The investigators hypothesize that imatinib limits pulmonary oedema observed in ARDS due to COVID-19, and may thus help to reverse hypoxemic respiratory failure and to hasten recovery. The hypothesis will be tested by conducting a randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled multi-centre clinical study of intravenous imatinib in 90 mechanically-ventilated, adult subjects with COVID-19-related ARDS. Study participants will receive the study drug (imatinib or placebo) twice daily for a period of 7 days. The effect of the intervention will be tested by measuring extravascular lung water (i.e. pulmonary oedema) difference between day 1 and day 4, using a PiCCO catheter (= pulse contour cardiac monitoring device). Other measurements will include regular blood tests to investigate the safety and the pharmacokinetic properties of imatinib, as well as biomarkers of inflammation and cellular dysfunction. Furthermore, parameters of ventilation and morbidity and mortality will be recorded as secondary outcome measures.

The objective of the current study is to investigate the utilization of nebulized heparin to circumvent pathologic changes in COVID-19 and prevent harmful effects possible with systemic anticoagulation.

This is a Phase 2 randomized study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IV Ampion in improving the clinical course and outcomes of adult COVID-19 patients requiring supplemental oxygen.

This is phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled Ampion in adults with respiratory distress due to COVID-19

Multicentre national cohort study with prospective data collection and biological specimen collection. Ancillary study in this cohort : pediatric cohort with participants from 5 to 17 years old. Enrollment complete for adult cohort. Active recruting for ancillary pediatric cohort.

During the current Covid-19 pandemic, many hospitals worldwide have been overwhelmed and strategies based on new technologies have been considered to improve the outcomes in patients with diabetes and Covid-19 and to prevent healthcare workers' exposure. Point-of-care blood glucose measurements, with the need of frequent and intermittent blood glucose testing and the associated time burden for hospital staff workers, have evident limitations. To this respect, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) might represent an effective tool in hospitalized patients. The latest CGM devices have alarms alerting clinicians (or patients) to abnormal blood glucose values. Furthermore, CGMs not requiring calibration with capillary glucose testing have the potential to decrease both nurse and patient burden. Insulin therapy is recommended in hospitalized patients with diabetes and Covid-19, conventionally by multiple daily insulin injections, i.e., rapid-acting insulin before meals and long-acting insulin once-a-day. Such a complex regimen demands also multiple daily fingerstick for glucose control. Use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in hospital has been considered, and simple, less sophisticated pumps might be appro¬priate for prompt use by healthcare providers not specialized in diabetes treatment. V-Go® is a skin-patch insulin delivery device to be replaced every 24 h. It is fully mechanical, without tubing or electronics, and does not require any programming. It delivers a continuous basal infusion of rapid-acting insulin and allows for additional units before meals. Therefore, the implementation of CGM and automated insulin infusion in Covid-19 hospitals has the potential to improve clinical outcomes, protect frontline healthcare workers, and preserve personal protective equipment. However, because only observational retrospective data for CGM use and no data on insulin pump use are currently available, randomized controlled trials are needed to determine whether using these technologies in hospital is of significant help. The aims of this study are to explore, in patients with diabetes in COVID-19 wards, whether using continuous glucose monitoring with a glucose telemetry system and/or using a disposable insulin pump may improve blood glucose control and Covid-19 outcomes, and facilitate diabetes management.

The STOPCoV study is a decentralized study comparing COVID-19 vaccine specific antibody levels at 24 weeks after final vaccine dose. We plan to study the safety and immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccine(s) in community dwelling persons 70 years and over relative to a younger group (aged 30 - 50 years).

While COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is an important emergent issue for all in the country, there is a significant number of people in the population who are especially vulnerable to the potential impact that the novel coronavirus epidemic may have on their health. The overall purpose of the study is to investigate: (1) the dynamics of COVID-19 infection among people living with HIV and health care workers providing HIV services; (2) the provision of HIV and HIV/TB care and treatment services at health facilities, within the scope of COVID-19 or in the context of COVID-19 and; (3) the perceptions of COVID-19 and access to care among people living with HIV and health care workers providing HIV services.
