Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The primary objective of this research study is to assess Radiation Oncology healthcare providers (i.e. faculty, residents and advanced practice providers (APPs) implementation and perception of telehealth for on treatment patients in lieu of in person on treatment visits during standard of care radiotherapy during COVID-19.

The aim of this study is to reduce pulmonary complications in adult patients undergoing abdominal or thoracic surgery in COVID-19 exposed hospital environments. A Trial in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs)

The purpose of this study is to determine if therapeutic dose anticoagulation (experimental group) improves 30-day mortality in participants with COVID-19 compared to those patients receiving the intermediate dose prophylaxis (control group). Following screening, subjects will be randomized 1:1 to intermediate dose prophylaxis or therapeutic dose anticoagulation treatment arms.Treatment will continue for 28 days, followed by a 6 month follow-up period.

The purpose of this study is to determine both the magnitude and duration of viral load (copies/mL) reduction after a single dose of OPN-019. The variability associated with viral counts will be utilized to inform the study design of future studies.

A descriptive study to characterize clinical, radiological, lung function and quality of life alterations in patients who survived a severe or critical disease caused by SARS-COV-2 virus, who were treated in the intensive care unit of a high complexity institution in Cali, Colombia.

Although the recent literature is building a remarkable background to answer the many unknowns related to SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is absolutely necessary to finalize every clinical effort to collect data that may be useful, in a short time, to improve our knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Numerous biomarkers have been evaluated in the recent literature as being altered in patients with severe forms of COVID-19. Particularly, in the critical care area, the research of early predictors of mortality is essential for high-flow management of patients requiring invasive assisted ventilation and requiring invasive and non-invasive assisted ventilation, hemodynamic support, sometimes extracorporeal support (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, ECMO). The coordinated study of different biomarkers, in particular, if combined with each other, possibly even to constitute a possible score, could guide the correct allocation of patients between hospital departments and the appropriate management in intensive care units. appropriate management in intensive care units, as well as providing an early prognostic indication. prognostic indication. The combination of these biomarkers with routine clinical and laboratory data may further provide valuable information about their use in acute care and as progressive acute and as progressive monitoring over time. Regarding the data of interest on the clinical trend, the evaluation of the respiratory support modalities, from the administration of oxygen therapy (by nasal cannulae or Venturi mask, or by high flow system - High Flow Nasal Cannula, HFNC), to CPAP support or by non-invasive or invasive ventilation, appears of particular importance. Therefore, the present study will be conducted in sub-intensive as well as intensive care units, in order to evaluate different types of patients, and their possible evolution over time. The comparison between the populations belonging to different areas of intensity of care will be able to describe the different populations. Data analysis will allow an evaluation of possible risk factors and prognostic determinants of the severity of the disease and its infectious complications.

The study is an unblinded, randomized, controlled trial for use of the AirFlO2 device for patients admitted to Duke Hospital with COVID-19 and tachypnea (RR >20 breaths/min) and/or hypoxia (Oxygen saturation <94% on room air or requiring supplemental oxygen at baseline).

Background: COVID-19 affected African Americans more than Whites. African Americans, especially women, have had higher rates of COVID-19 infections compared to Whites. They are also more likely to go to the hospital or die of this disease. Many researchers who looked into these issues lacked background data on the people they studied. SELF is a 10-year study of fibroids in African American women aged 23-35. Researchers already have a lot of data on these women. Asking how COVID-19 affected them can add context other studies lack. Objective: To describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young African American women and their families. Eligibility: Participants must be enrolled in SELF (Study of Environment, Lifestyle, and Fibroids). Design: Researchers will invite all women enrolled in SELF to participate in this natural history study. Participants will complete one questionnaire. They will answer the questions online. They may also choose to get a paper copy sent by mail. The survey will take no more than 15-20 minutes. All questions will relate to COVID-19. Participants will be asked if they had COVID-19. They will be asked if family, friends, or members of their community did. They will answer questions about their vaccine status and access to health care services. Participants will also answer questions about how the pandemic affected their lives. They will be asked about their job and if finding childcare was a challenge. They will be asked about money problems and how they coped. They will be asked about sleep problems and emotional distress. Participants will get a $30 gift card after they finish the survey.

This study aims to analyze the grieving process of people who have lost a close first degree relative, understand the impact of death conditions and model a "theory of mourning" in the context of the COVID-19 crisis .

The exploratory project aims to investigate the presence of pain as a long Covid-19 symptom in previously hospitalised patients and in non-hospitalised persons previously tested positive in a PCR test.
