Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The study focuses on the recovery of respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological/neuropsychological recovery after intensive care treatment for covid-19. The results will be compared with those obtained from patients treated in the regular wards for covid-19, persons with home treated covid-19 and non-covid controls.

The purpose of the study is to determine if Liquid Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human) (Liquid Alpha1-PI) plus SMT can reduce the proportion of participants dying or requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission on or before Day 29 or who are dependent on high flow oxygen devices or invasive mechanical ventilation on Day 29 versus placebo plus SMT in hospitalized participants with COVID-19.

Covid-19 outbreak has caused death of millions of people because of not only the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection itself but also infection dependent complications. Abnormalities in thrombotic events leads to some of these complications which eventually result in emboli. The endothelial damage caused by the virus interacting with ACE2 on the host cells leads to the activation of coagulation cascade. Accumulation of byproducts of the cascade might have some roles in embolism inducing risk of organ damage, other life-threatening problems, and even death. To enlighten the factors triggering embolism, the investigators have focused on genetic changes such as polymorphisms and mutations in certain genes in DNA samples coming from intensive care unit (ICU) patients.

Introduction: A pandemic such as the SRAS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has a great negative socioeconomic impact with very limited therapeutic options. As with any disease, a detailed understanding of its pathophysiological mechanisms is critical for the development of new therapies. In SRAS-CoV-2, few studies have verified a possible relationship of these vasoactive peptide polymorphisms with patient prognosis. Objective: To analyze and relate polymorphisms found in components of vasoactive peptide systems in DNA samples collected from patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) who developed severe conditions and patients infected with mild or asymptomatic conditions. Methodology: Cross-sectional, analytical and qualitative study that will be conducted with approximately 151 participants previously diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 with mild or asymptomatic forms of the pathology, diagnosed in primary care in the city of Guarulhos/SP- specifically in the Basic Health Unit of Nova Saúde Bonsucesso- well with participants who were diagnosed with the severe forms that required hospitalization in 2021. For the collection of biological material, a sterile swab will be used in order to collect cells from the oral cavity, specifically from the oral mucosa. Expected results: We hope to identify and relate the polymorphisms of vasoactive peptide genes from patients with mild, asymptomatic or severe forms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, thus contributing to the understanding of the different clinical evolutions of the disease.

This phase I/II trial studies low-dose radiation therapy as a focal anti-inflammatory treatment for patients with pneumonia or SARS associated with COVID-19 infection.

We aim to better understand the mode of action of COVID-19 in the context of its interaction with the host genome through whole-genome sequencing.

The PATCH trial (Prevention And Treatment of COVID-19 with Hydroxychloroquine) is funded investigator-initiated trial that includes 3 cohorts. Cohort 1: a double-blind placebo controlled trial of high dose HCQ as a treatment for home bound COVID-19 positive patients; Cohort 2: a randomized study testing different doses of HCQ in hospitalized patients; Cohort 3: a double blind placebo controlled trial of low dose HCQ as a preventative medicine in health care workers.

This interventional study aims to evaluate the utilization, adherence, and acceptability of voluntary, free, routine self-testing for COVID-19 (Corona Virus (19) Disease) and related information, education and communication (IEC) messages in two institutional settings in Mizoram, India. In addition, it will assess and measure preferences for assisted vs unassisted and observed vs unobserved self-testing, assess adherence and measure dropout rate and describe dropout characteristics. The research questions it aims to address are - What is the uptake and adherence of voluntary, free, routine self-testing for COVID-19 and related IEC messages vy students, employees, and healthcare workers in two institutional settings in India? Are there any dropouts from routine self-testing and what are the factors related to dropouts? What is the preferred mode of self-testing- observed or unobserved, assisted or unassisted? Do these preferences change over time? The researchers will be measuring - Utilization rate, Adherence rate, Proportion of preference to assisted vs unassisted self-testing, Proportion of preference to observed vs unobserved self-testing, Time to dropout and Acceptability of COVID-19 self-testing kits.

A prospective monitoring study for those individuals treated with Paxlovid

COVID-19 vaccines are available to children over six months, and these vaccines are powerful tools against this catastrophic pandemic. However, Hispanic/Latino children have lower COVID-19 vaccination rates than White non-Hispanic children .Our team of health communication and public health experts proposes a community-based theory-driven intervention that utilizes culturally-grounded narratives from digital storytelling to reduce Hispanic parents' COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and increase their children's vaccine uptake.
