Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

This study will assess the feasibility and usability of COVID-19 professional and self-administered Antigen-Rapid Diagnostic Tests (Ag-RDTs) through health facility outpatient services and community settings in Kampala and Luwero districts in Uganda. There are two components to this study: Facility-based COVID-19 Ag-RDT professional use testing which will include people seeking care at outpatient departments and household contacts of index participants diagnosed at outpatient departments in four health facilities in Kampala and Luwero districts. Community-based COVID-19 Ag-RDT self-testing which will include at-risk populations such as female sex workers (FSW) and Boda boda drivers (motorcyclists) at points of mass throughfare in Kampala and Luwero districts. Key outcomes target the implementation's success, demand, and usability of professional and self-administered Ag-RDTs.

Automated quantification of the pulmonary volume impaired during acute respiratory failure could be helpful to assess patient severity during COVID-19 infection or perioperative medicine, for example. This study aims at assessing the correlation between the amount of radiologic pulmonary alteration and the clinical severity in two clinical situation : SARS-CoV-2 infections Postoperative hypoxemic acute respiratory failure.

Patients recovered from mild coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) disease without pulmonary involvement may experience long-term physical impairment and dyspnea. The investigators aim to characterize physiologic limitations in patients who recovered from mild COVID-19. Methods: Pulmonary function tests (PFTs), 6-minute walk test (6MWT), echocardiography and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) will be completed in patients recovered from mild COVID-19 disease with prolonged dyspnea (Subgroup "A") and compared to patients recovered from moderate/severe COVID-19 (subgroup "B") and to non-COVID-19 patients with unexplained dyspnea (subgroup "C").

Randomized open label clinical trial carried out at study centers in Sweden, including Karolinska University Hospital, S:t Göran Hospital, Danderyd Hospital and Västmanlands Hospital. Patients with COVID-19 who are hospitalized with oxygen therapy are eligible for inclusion. Subjects are randomized to 14 days of inhalation with ciclesonide 360 µg twice daily or to standard of care. Primary outcome is duration of received supplemental oxygen therapy. Key secondary outcome is a composite outcome of death and received invasive mechanical ventilation within 30 days.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a timely, virtual home-based physical rehabilitation program for patients living with long COVID can improve functional mobility compared to usual care.

Latinx communities are disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with Spanish-speaking Latinx communities carrying even heavier burdens of infection, hospitalization, and mortality. Major barriers to COVID-19 testing and vaccination exist, and a profound need remains to understand and address the social, ethical, and behavioral implications (SEBI) of COVID-19 testing and vaccination within Latinx communities. Our community-academic partnership proposes a rigorous mixed-methods, community-based participatory research study to better understand the SEBI of COVID-19 testing and vaccination and to refine and test a novel and culturally congruent intervention that integrates two evidenced-based strategies - peer navigation and mHealth - to increase COVID-19 testing and vaccination within Spanish-speaking Latinx communities.

Timing of of corticosteroids administration is very important in COVID19 cases for the recovery and decrease the mortality.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether the drug sirolimus reduces the likelihood of developing of pulmonary fibrosis in patients who are hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia.

The unCOVer-AF prospective, multicenter registry aims at determining the natural history of atrial fibrillation (AF) via continuous cardiac rhythm monitoring in patients with a first arrhythmic episode during COVID-19 hospitalization.

Patients infected with covid-19 have a series of clinical manifestations, including fever, cough, myalgia or fatigue, dyspnea, even acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute cardiac injury and secondary infection, and a lot of sever patients had to been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) One of the hallmark of COVID 19 is the cytokine storm that provokes primarily pneumonia followed by systemic inflammation. besides the positive viral nucleic acid analysis and the representative pulmonary CT findings (bilateral distribution of patchy shadows and ground glass opacity), most individual patients showed the changes in several immunological and biological markers . CD177 which is one of the most clinically important neutrophil alloantigen because: i) it is a neutrophil-specific marker representative of neutrophil activation, ii) it was the most highly differentiated expressed gene in patients, and iii) the protein can be measured in the serum, making its use as a marker clinically applicable. It is expressed on neutrophils, neutrophilic metamyelocytes, and myelocytes . Given the contribution of the neutrophil activation pathway in the clustering of COVID-19 patients, neutrophil-activation features that could act as possible reliable markers of disease evolution.
