Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The aim of this study will be to investigate the efficacy of use of combination of Ivermectin and colchicine on severity and outcome Of COVID 19 infection.

To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise program on physical activity, aerobic capacity, anxiety& depression in Covid-19 survivors discharged from Intensive Care Unit. There is evidence in the literature that post-intensive case survivors who have been mechanically ventilated will likely experience short- and medium-term consequences in the form of Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS).

In this randomized controlled study, two hundred patients with positive PCR and laboratory confirmed COVID-19 will be classified randomly into four groups. The first group is the control group and will be given the conventional treatment of covid-19 only. The second group will be given enoxaparin plus the conventional treatment of Covid-19. The third group will be given hydroxychloroquine (HCQ 400 mg/day) for five days plus the conventional treatment of covid-19. The last group will be given combined therapy of HCQ 400 mg/day and enoxaparin plus the conventional therapy of covid-19 The efficacy will be assessed by the time of undetectable viral RNA, duration of treatment and length of hospital stay. The safety will be assessed by measuring the severity of side effects by following up the patients after treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efects of prone positioning on the recruitment- to-inflation ratio in COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Postoperative psychomotor dysfunction is called postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and the incidence of postoperative complications is high, especially in elderly patients undergoing major surgery. This complication; It can be attributed to the anesthetic agents used, their doses, and the duration of the surgery. Although SARS-CoV-2 virus causes an infection called Covid-19 that mainly affects the respiratory tract, data have been obtained that it can enter the nasal mucosa, reach the central nervous system via olfactory fibers or hematogenous way, and infect endothelial cells and neurons. The immune system is activated due to endothelial cell damage, vascular permeability increases, and the risk of thrombosis occurs. Cerebral hypoperfusion promotes Lewy body development, especially by increasing amyloid plaque formation and inducing serine phosphorylation. The formation of these plaques, which are responsible for the development of Alzheimer's and Dementia, suggests that Covid-19 may have long-term neurological complications. In our study, we included patients who were scheduled for cholecystectomy, who had and did not have covid-19 infection. Covid-19 infection (Group 1), no previous (Group 2), COVID-19 and pre-induction low-dose intravenous ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) administered (Group 3), non-covid-19 and pre-induction low-dose intravenous ketamine We aimed to evaluate and compare postoperative cognitive functions in patients (Group 4) administered (0.5 mg/kg). Ketamine is a sedative, hypnotic and analgesic agent and has an effective role in balanced anesthesia. In addition, its use reduces the need for the use of other anesthetic agents. The use of ketamine in normal doses causes a decrease in brain and cognitive functions; The use of sub-anesthetic doses before induction has positive effects on recovery and cognitive functions. Depth of anesthesia with bispectral index continuously before and throughout the operation; The lowest and highest values were recorded by regional cerebral oximetry (rSO2) measurement. Cognitive tests were performed 1 day before the operation, at the 12th hour and 30 days after the operation. MMT (mini mental test), Verbal Fluency Test (verbal fluency test), Clock Drawing Test (clock drawing test) Aldrete recovery scores were evaluated at the 2nd and 5th minutes after extubation. The study included 160 patients, 35-55 young and middle-aged, ASA I and II. Patients who underwent emergency surgery, had malignancy, and had a known chronic disease were excluded from the study.

This trial is an exploratory study, aiming to explore the preliminary efficacy and safety of Kesuting Syrup in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia. It is planned to include a total of 200 cases. Kesuting Syrup test group: Lianhua Qingwen Granules control group = 1:1, each 100 cases in each group.

A preliminary open-label case report demonstrated the beneficial effects of an innovative nitrate-based nutritional formula on oxygen saturation in patients with COVID-19. Whether these initial findings are relevant in a more robust research design currently remains unknown. Therefore, the main objective of this randomized controlled trial was to analyze the acute effects of nitrate-based nutritional formula on peripheral SpO2, patient-reported outcomes, and safety indices in patients with acute COVID-19 infection.

This study is an adaptive, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of novel therapeutic agents in hospitalized adults diagnosed with COVID-19. The study is a multicenter trial that will be conducted in up to approximately 100 sites globally. The study will compare different investigational therapeutic agents to a control arm. There will be interim monitoring to introduce new arms and allow early stopping for futility, efficacy, or safety. If one therapy proves to be efficacious, then this treatment may become the control arm for comparison(s) with new experimental treatment(s). Any such change would be accompanied by an updated sample size. Because background standards of supportive care may evolve/improve over time as more is learned about successful management of COVID-19, comparisons of safety and efficacy will be based on data from concurrently randomized subjects. An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will actively monitor interim data to make recommendations about early study closure or changes to study arms. To evaluate the clinical efficacy, as assessed by time to recovery, of different investigational therapeutics as compared to the control arm.

COVID-19 caused clusters of severe respiratory illness and was associated with 2% mortality. No specific anti-viral treatment exists. The mainstay of clinical management is largely symptomatic treatment, with organ support in intensive care for seriously ill patients. Cellular therapy, using mesenchymal stem cells has been shown to reduce nonproductive inflammation and affect tissue regeneration and is being evaluated in patients with ARDS. This clinical trial is to inspect the safety and efficiency of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy for severe COVID-19.

It still unclear how SARS-CoV-2 affects pregnant women and their offspring, as well as which factors may influence obstetrical disease and outcomes, including the timing of maternal viral exposure by gestational age, the effects of parity, age, host immune responses, coexisting medical and obstetrical conditions and the effects of treatment regimens. While further information is gathered, based on the existing evidence from other infections causing pneumonia, pregnant women should be considered to be at high risk for developing severe infection during the current COVID-19 epidemic. Results from clinical trials with HCQ in nonpregnant adults may not be directly extrapolated to pregnant women given the special features of the pregnancy status. Thus, clinical research is urgently needed to improve the care and reduce the risk of poor pregnancy outcomes of women in this and in future epidemics.
