Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

This study is designed as a 2-part, 2-cohort, double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, multicenter Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of RJX in patients with COVID-19.

The current study aims to assess the feasibility, acceptance and clinical outcomes of a practical high-dose LFR protocol, including tapering treatments and symptom-based relapse prevention treatments, in patients with bipolar depression previously responsive to ECT and patients needing urgent treatment due to symptom severity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The study aims to evaluate MN-166 (ibudilast) in patients with COVID-19 who are at risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome. Subjects will be screened, randomly assigned to MN-166 or placebo groups, receive study drug on Days 1-7, and followed up on Day 14 and Day 28.

The purpose of this study is to find out if immunization with IMM-101 will reduce the incidence of severe respiratory and COVID-19 infections in cancer patients.

Newborns and infants receive passive natural immunity through maternal antibodies present in breastmilk to fight infections caused by viruses such as the COVID-19, until they develop active immunity by illness or vaccination. Such immunity will become the main stay for preventing future waves of COVID-19 epidemics. The high COVID-19 mortality among African Americans is ascribed partly to compromised immune status associated with comorbidity. Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is the effective low-cost natural strategy for building immunity right from birth. African Americans record the lowest EBF rates and also lack workplace support. This intervention includes a 10-hour course extracted from 90-hour CLC online program, sufficient to prepare physicians to partner with certified lactation consultant (CLC) to provide their patients comprehensive COVID-19 breastfeeding guidelines, training, and support to afford their babies the benefits of breastmilk antibodies, the best line of defense against COVID-19, until availability of safe vaccines. The Breastfeeding Report Card indicates slow improvements in overall breastfeeding rates with persisting disparities. Improving EBF rates can contribute to increased COVID-19 immunity among infants. Preliminary data in Nashville indicates excellent breastfeeding benefit knowledge and intent, but limited training to succeed. Hospital staff encourage breastfeeding but routinely offer formula at birth. Most physicians who provide prenatal care do not actively promote breastfeeding nor routinely offer CLC referral. This single action by physicians can halt routines that compromise successful EBF. The program long-term goal is to prepare obstetricians to actively promote comprehensive breastfeeding among African American mothers. The immediate objective is to develop and evaluate feasibility and effectiveness of an intervention designed to increase COVID-19 breastfeeding guideline adherence and improve EBF skills and rates among African American mothers. The rationale is that mothers who receive physician prenatal encouragement and CLC referral will make confident informed decisions, adopt COVID-19 breastfeeding guidelines, safely meet their EBF goals, and provide their infants with appropriate antibodies. The expected outcome is that patient participants will adhere to COVID-19 breastfeeding guidelines and record 3-month EBF rate 60 percent or greater.

This study tests the effectiveness of a community-based peer advocacy, mutual learning, and social support intervention (Refugee and Immigrant Well-being Project) to reduce several negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic that are disproportionately impacting Latinx and Black populations: psychological distress, financial problems, and daily stressors. In partnership with five community-based organizations that focus on mental health, legal, education, and youth issues with Latinx immigrants and African refugees, we will also be able to examine the effects of people's involvement with community-based organizations and local and state policy changes on their mental health, economic stability, stressors, and social support. This is important not only for Latinx and Black populations and the large number of immigrants and refugees in the United States and worldwide, but also because the intervention model and what we learn from this study have the potential to alleviate mental health disparities experienced by other marginalized populations who face unequal access to social and material resources, disproportionate exposure to trauma and stress, and worse consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This Phase 1 trial is an open-label trial to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of two dosages (10^6 PFU and 10^7 PFU) of intranasal CVXGA1 administered as a single dose in healthy adults age 18-55 years and in adolescents age 12-17.

The main objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the effect of a remote interdisciplinary PR program that is delivered using two exercise approaches on the recovery of long-term post-COVD-19 outcomes. The specific aims are i) to evaluate the effect of the program and ii) each of the approaches on patients': 1) lung capacity, 2) dyspnea and fatigue, 3) exercise capacity, 4) physical function, 5) participation, and 5) HRQoL.

This is a Phase 2b multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) Allocetra-OTS 10x10^9 cells vs placebo (1:1) in adult hospitalized patients with severe or critical Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) with associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Patients will be followed for efficacy and safety for 6 months. The trial will include periodic and ad-hoc DSMB review during the study period.

The study researchers think that a medication called N-acetylcysteine can help fight the COVID-19 virus by boosting a type of cell in your immune system that attacks infections. By helping your immune system fight the virus, the researchers think that the infection will get better, which could allow the patient to be moved out of the critical care unit or go off a ventilator, or prevent them from moving into a critical care unit or going on a ventilator. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved N-acetylcysteine to treat the liver side effects resulting from an overdose of the anti-inflammatory medication Tylenol® (acetaminophen). N-acetylcysteine is also used to loosen the thick mucus in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study is the first to test N-acetylcysteine in people with severe COVID-19 infections.
