Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The objective of the study is to evaluate the anti-viral efficacy of 3 different dosages of masitinib in patients with symptomatic mild to moderate COVID-19.

The study hypothesis is that cromolyn, when combined with standard COVID-19 treatment, will improve patient symptoms and reduce the number of days to improved quality of life. Investigators will study the effects of adding cromolyn to the standard treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and who require supplemental oxygen. Cromolyn will be administered as a nebulized treatment four times a day for four days followed by intranasal administration for two weeks. Investigators may also screen for biomarkers that could indicate inflammatory responses and treatment-induced improvement. Participants will receive either study drug or placebo which will be administered by nebulization for 4 days followed by 14 days of intranasal administration. Participants will be followed while in the hospital and then as outpatients up to day 21 following randomization.

Respiratory viruses pose a permanent threat to humans and society as demonstrated by the current Covid-19 pandemic. Novel drugs and vaccines provide a means for controlling illness. Infections and symptomatic presentation of illness may be reduced, but it remains to be determined to which extent viral shedding and transmission (e.g. by silent transmitters) can be controlled. Lack of such activity may result in continuing viral spread by assumed healthy but asymptomatic spreaders. Echinacea is an established and readily-accessible product with demonstrated in vitro antiviral activity (including coronaviruses). This study aims to estimate the potential of different Echinacea formulations (head-to-head) to reduce concentration infectivity and shedding of SARS-CoV-2 under in vivo conditions.

The acute pneumonia pandemic caused by a new strain of corona virus 2019 named as COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO) is a pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus. The reported symptoms vary from fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath, to muscle aches, headaches, loss of taste or smell. The capsule KOVIR is a product based on the traditional medicine which is used to treat the cold conditions, also known as the initial plague according to the theory of traditional medicine.

Coverage Africa is a nested study in the large Anticov platform trial that aims to generate data on new early treatment strategies for mild/moderate COVID-19 patients in resource-limited-settings to reduce the number progressing to severe forms requiring hospitalization, thereby relieving the burden on health care systems and contributing to "flattening the curve" in contexts where none pharmaceutical intervention such as quarantine are difficult to implement in large urban settings. Treating early when the virus is still present might also limit transmission. Coverage Africa will be conducted in Guinea and Burkina Faso. The main objective is to conduct an open-label, multicenter, randomized, adaptive platform trial to test the safety and efficacy of several marketed products, including antiviral therapies versus control in mild/moderate of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) in resource-limited-settings. The study aims to recruit 600 patients in both countries, one site in Guinea and two sites in Burkina Faso. The current assessed treatments are now the association of Fluoxétine/Budésonide compared with a control arm: paracetamol. The adaptive design trial will allow for the removal of drugs, or the addition of new study arms when new data becomes available. Data on the primary efficacy parameters and safety will be integrated with the primary endpoint based on an oxygen saturation percentage (SpO2) ≤ 93% or death within 14 days after randomization to treatment, including death for any reason. Study will run until August 2022. However, with the proposed adaptive design, the study could also be interrupted for success earlier than planned with the identification of a treatment that significantly reduces hospitalization rate as evidence by results from the primary endpoint.

This is a Phase 2 study to assess COVI-MSC in the setting of current standard of care in hospitalized subjects with RT-PCR confirmed SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection and acute respiratory distress / acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Current treatment recommendations are based on very limited evidence and reliant on the deployment of pharmacological strategies of doubtful efficacy, high toxicity, and near universal shortages of supply. On a global scale, there is a desperate need for readily available therapeutic options to safely and cost effectively target the hyper-inflammatory state in ICU patients based on management of severe COVID-19 (evidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome). The study team proposes to use slow low-efficiency daily dialysis to provide an extracorporeal circuit to target this cytokine storm using immunomodulation of neutrophils with a novel leucocyte modulatory device (L-MOD) to generate an anti-inflammatory phenotype, but without depletion of circulating factors.

The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of video dance class and unsupervised physical activity on clinical-functional parameters, self-isolation and non-motors symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This research study evaluates the safety and effectiveness for the use of convalescent plasma transfusion as a treatment option for novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19). Donors who have recovered from COVID-19 with high antibody levels to the CoV-2 virus will donate plasma at a Mississippi Blood Services facility. Recipients with COIVD-19 who have severe or life threatening conditions will receive plasma from those persons who have recovered from COVID-19.
