Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

This was a Phase 2/3 study to assess the efficacy about therapeutic effect of CT-P59 to the mild to moderate SARS-CoV-2 infected patients and the safety during after study drug injection.

Both mindfulness meditation and expectancy effects are known to reduce anxiety, stress and catastrophizing, but it is unknown whether and how expectancy effects contribute to the overall effect of mindfulness meditation on these outcomes, especially during significant global events such as the coronavirus pandemic. This study includes four interrelated aims that will probe these effects and interactions.

To verify that the efficacy of favipiravir exceeds that of the actual supportive care (symptomatic therapy) in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients (COVID-19 patients) with mild pneumonia, using the time required to improve clinical symptoms as the primary endpoint.

There is currently no known treatment for COVID19. Active smokers are infrequent among patients with COVID-19 which has led our team to hypothesize that nicotine is responsible for this protective effect via the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). In fact, nAChR possess the ability to modulate ACE2 expression, the cellular doorway for SARS-CoV2. nAChR modulation by the virus would be responsible for the numerous clinical signs observed in COVID-19, including the cytokine storm manifested in intensive care hyperinflammatory patients. Based on epidemiological data and experimental data from scientific literature, our team hypothesize that nicotine could inhibit the penetration and propagation of SARS-CoV2. Our team also claim that nicotine could attenuate the hyperinflammatory response and cytokine storm leading to acute respiratory failure and a probable multi-organ failure associated with COVID19.

Inspiratory muscle training considered as safe and valid method to improve respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity among uncountable conditions which could improve post COVID-19 persistent symptoms including but not limited to respiratory muscle strength, diminishing dyspnea, enhance blood oxygenation, and patient's functional capacity and quality of life.

This trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 2-arm, multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of C21 versus placebo as add on to SoC in adult subjects with COVID-19. The trial will enroll a total of maximum 300 randomized subjects, 150 per arm (oral C21 100 mg twice a day (b.i.d.) or placebo for 14 days) according to the 1:1 randomization.

The study is a Randomized, Open-Label, Multi-Centre, Phase 2a Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effect of STC3141 Continuous Infusion in Subjects with Severe Corona Virus Disease 2019（COVID-19）Pneumonia.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of sacubitril/valsartan versus placebo on markers of cardiac injury, structure, and function among patients who recovered from acute COVID-19 infection.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic represents a major therapeutic challenge. The highly contagious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) and the long duration of the disease have led to a massive influx of patients admitted in health services and intensive care units. To current knowledge, there is no treatment yet that that can prevent infection from SARS-COV-2 virus, nor the disease progression to a severe form. Daily active smokers are rare among outpatients or hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Several arguments suggest that nicotine could be responsible for this protective effect thank to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Based on epidemiological data and experimental data from scientific literature, we hypothesize that nicotine could inhibit the penetration and spread of the virus and improve the management of COVID19 , particularly in hospitalized patients to prevent adverse outcomes (death, transfer to intensive care unit, care limitation, mechanical ventilation an high flow oxygen).

More than 17 million people have been infected and more than 677K lives have been lost since the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, there is neither an effective treatment nor is there a vaccination for this deadly virus. The moderate to severe COVID-19 patients suffer acute lung injury and need oxygen therapy, and even ventilators, to help them breathe. When a person gets a viral infection, certain body cells (inflammatory/immune cells) get activated and release a wide range of small molecules, also known as cytokines, to help combat the virus. But it is possible for the body to overreact to the virus and release an overabundance of cytokines, forming what is known as a "cytokine storm". When a cytokine storm is formed, these cytokines cause more damage to their own cells than to the invading COVID-19 that they're trying to fight. Recently, doctors and research scientists are becoming increasingly convinced that, in some cases, this is likely what is happening in the moderate to severe COVID-19 patients. The cytokine storm may be contributing to respiratory failure, which is the leading cause of mortality for severe COVID-19 patients. Therefore, being able to control the formation of cytokine storms will also help alleviate the symptoms and aid in the recovery of severe COVID-19 patients.
