Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

This early phase I trial identifies the feasibility, possible benefits and/or side effects of administering SARS-CoV-2 specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in treating cancer patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the virus responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). SARS-CoV-2 Specific CTLs are a type of immune cells that are made from donated blood cells grown in the laboratory and are designed to kill cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus. Giving CTLs may help control the COVID-19 in cancer patients.

With the results of this study the investigators aim to identify an effective treatment that will reduce morbidity and mortality of patients with symptomatic COVID-19 infection, which would in turn reduce the burden on the healthcare system by decreasing the need for intensive care. Objectives: The main objective of this research is to determine if once weekly treatment with the GLP-1 agonist semaglutide for 4 doses will reduce cardiac as well as non-cardiac complications of COVID-19 infection. Study Plan: The study design is prospective randomized open-label blinded-evaluation (PROBE). Eligible patients with symptomatic COVID-19 infection and an enhanced risk profile as described above, who have been admitted to hospital due to symptoms of COVID-19 infection but do not as yet require critical care will be approached to participate in this study. Provided there are no exclusion criteria and the participants agree by means of documented written informed consent, The participants the participants will be randomized to receive s.c. semaglutide 0.25 mg s.c. or control immediately after randomization and then 0.5 mg s.c. at Day 7, Day 14 and Day 21. Blood will be drawn at Day 7±2 and Day 14±2 for the cardiac troponin biomarker and safety parameters. ECG will be obtained at Day 7±2 and Day 14±2. Primary outcome will be assessed on Day 28. Primary outcome measure: A composite of (1) death from any cause or (2) mechanical ventilation (invasive or non-invasive) at 28 days. Major secondary outcome measure: (1) an elevation to >99th percentile URL upper reference limit (URL) in those with a baseline cardiac troponin level ≤99th percentile URL; or 3x elevation from baseline in those with a baseline cardiac troponin >99th percentile URL; measured at 1 week (7-days) post randomization. Other major secondary outcome measure: A composite of Death from any cause, mechanical ventilation or vasopressor or ECLS support at 28 days an elevation to >99th percentile URL in those with a normal baseline troponin level; or 3x elevation from baseline in those with a baseline troponin; measured at 1 and 2 weeks (7±2 and 14±2 days) post randomization.

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial for hospitalized moderate COVID-19 patients

Phase 2 ,double blind, randomized study of therapy with Angiotensin 1-7 in COVID-19 patients. 120 confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infected patients who exhibit moderate- clinical symptoms including dyspnea, cough and fever, hospitalized in the KETER department in several hospitals in Israel, will be enrolled. 60 patients will receive Ang 1-7 subcutaneously 500 mcg/kg /day. 60 patients will receive placebo : NaCl 0.9% 2 ml -control arm . Treatment duration: 14 days or until clinical improvement that enables discharge from hospital. (the shortest time will be the limiting factor in treatment duration). Follow-up-30 days. 14-30 days after discharge from hospital: we will contact the patient via phone to ask questions related to any possible adverse reaction to the drug and general health.

The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the need for skills training and mental health support for healthcare workers who are exposed to the numerous stressors and potential trauma of a high-risk environment. This context is associated with significant impacts on mental health, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress, with nurses and personal support workers (PSWs) being disproportionately impacted. The proposed STEP program is an intervention that aims to equip nurses and PSWs with the skills and support needed to promote their wellness and navigate the challenges of experiencing trauma in a high-risk, high-stress environment, which has been exacerbated by the pandemic. As such, the STEP intervention has the potential to improve trauma resilience and mental health among nurses and PSW, which may ultimately improve patient care and benefit the hospital system during and even beyond the pandemic. The results from this study will also provide vital insight into promising interventions for healthcare workers that are accessible and scalable.

Primary objectives Part 1: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of COR-101 compared to placebo Secondary objectives Part 1: To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of COR-101 compared to placebo in hospitalized patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of COR-101

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the implementation and (cost-)effectiveness of the culturally and contextually adapted Doing What Matters in times of stress (DWM) and Problem Management Plus (PM+) stepped-care programs amongst asylum seekers, refugees, and/or migrants living in Italy. Outcomes include mental health, resilience, wellbeing, health inequalities, and costs to health systems.

The purpose for this study is to determine if the study drug baricitinib is effective and safe in hospitalized pediatric participants with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID -19) and to confirm the dose.

The aim of the study is to investigate effects of brain stimulation-assisted cognitive training in patients with persistent subjective or objective cognitive impairment after polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-positive COVID-19 disease.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic. Ontario has confirmed more than 547,000 cases of COVID-19 since testing began. For many of these patients, symptoms resolve within 4 weeks of onset. However, it is becoming apparent that a significant number of individuals are experiencing symptoms that persist long after the acute infection, known as Long COVID. These individuals have a wide constellation of presenting symptoms, often varying from initial presentation. For this study, we will be enrolling individuals receiving care at The Ottawa Hospital for Long COVID. This study aims to determine the following four things: 1) will adding electronic case management improve quality of life three months after coming to hospital with Long COVID; 2) is the electronic case management platform cost effective; 3) is there any factors that predict outcomes at 3 months; 4) to determine how a personalized rehabilitation program supported by a digital platform could be implemented for individuals with Long COVID. We will enroll individuals from The Ottawa Hospital who will then be randomly assigned to receive either usual care or usual care plus electronic case management, through a platform called NexJ Connected Wellness. Participants will also complete questionnaires every 4 weeks for 3 months. We will be looking at quality of life, mental and physical health, cognitive symptoms, fatigue and pain.
