Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

Data on COVID-19 in children are still scarce, and their role in SARS-CoV-2 transmission is poorly described. Furthermore, documentation of the best SARS-CoV-2 sampling methods in children are limited. In adults, saliva seems like a promising specimen to collect by noninvasive procedure to diagnose and monitor viral load of SARS-CoV-2, but this has not been tested in children yet. We want to test the following hypothesis: Shedding load and duration of SARS-CoV-2 in children are related to age, gender, clinical symptoms and exposure Salvia samples have equal or higher sensibility than nasal swaps in children for detection of SARS-CoV-2 Parental home testing of saliva and feces is feasible in children The study is a prospective cohort study of SARS-CoV-2 PCR-positive children from two test centers in the Capital Region of Denmark. Children aged 0-17 years with a PCR-positive SARS-CoV-2 test from a nasal or pharyngeal swab is included from May 2020 to January 2021 and followed-up for a period of 28 days with weekly sample collection and questionnaires. Samples include a saliva sample, a nasal swap and a rectal swap for children under four years of age. A semiquantitative RT-PCR method, will identify positive and negative samples and provide a Ct value estimating viral load. Saliva and fecal samples will be analyzed from November 2020-February 2021. Shedding duration will be related to medial history, clinical presentation, exposure, gender and age.

The hypothesis is that from a cluster defined by a confirmed positive case of COVID-19 and its contact cases, it is possible to study the different expressions and clinical evolutions of COVID-19 infection and to explore the biological profiles related to the observed clinical history. Certain biological determinants (virological, immunological, microbological or gentic) could indeed be correlated with the clinical presentation and/or be useful for personalized care. The main objective is to study the relationship between the biological profiles observed and the clinical evolutions within the same cluster of transmission of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (positive COVID-19 cases and contact subjects).

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV2 virus. The objective of our study is to analyze the progression and the severity of COVID-19 in patients with RA. Indeed, few data are available on this subject, and this would allow us to improve management of COVID-19 in these potential at-risk patients.

Follow-up of patients with a borderline PCR result. Data of patients that were re-tested within 96 hours after receiving a borderline COVID-19 PCR result are reviewed. This is a retrospective study.

Maternal attachment, Edinburgh depression scoring, and postpartum anxiety scale are evaluated in patients with covid-positive pregnancies in the 3rd month after birth.

The mental health of the French population in response to covid-19 pandemic is of concern. Health professionals are prone to more mental disorders due to their direct exposure to the pandemic consequences. Indeed, compared to general population, health care workers face enormous in the current health situation, especially those who may be in contact with suspected or confirmed cases (risk of infection, inadequate protection, loss of control, lack of experience in managing the diseases, overwork, stigma, lack of support). Thus, it seems interesting to describe the psychological state of hospital interns during this pandemic.

This expanded access use program will provide a botanical drug of T89 for treatment use in an intermediate-size population infected with SARS-CoV-2 who have severe COVID-19, or who are judged by a healthcare provider to be at high risk of progression to severe or life-threatening condition.

An initial retrospective epidemiological investigation was conducted in a city north of France after the diagnosis of the first case of COVID-19 on February 2020. Sero-epidemiological studies were conducted in this town by the Institut Pasteur in early 2020 among families, teachers and non-teaching staff of the high and elementary schools. The goal of this new project is to better characterize the specific immunity generated by the infection within this community. The specific immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus will be followed for a period of 2 years from the initial circulation of the virus, within a large cohort of participants covering all age groups from 5 years-old onwards. The study will focus on systemic humoral and cell responses, immunity of the nasopharyngeal mucosa and the humoral response present in saliva. Follow-up of participants in this cohort and monitoring of the virus circulation within this community would help to determine the protective character against re-infection of the natural immunity generated by SARS-CoV-2.

At the end of 2019, a new coronavirus named COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), one of the lower respiratory tract samples was detected in China. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a global epidemic on March 11, 2020, due to the emergence of COVID-19 cases in 113 countries other than China, where the first epidemic occurred, and the spread and severity of the virus. Pregnancy increases susceptibility to respiratory complications of viral diseases. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the demographic data of COVID-19 patients undergoing cesarean section, our anesthesia practices, complications, and condition of neonates, and to summarize up-to-date information on COVID-19 in obstetric anesthesia.

The covid-19 pandemic started to spread worldwide since December 2019. It promoted to an exaggerated psychological stress and anxiety in humans due to the intolerable symptoms higher than usual death of many infected patients. This study examines the corona related anxiety and if there is need for drug intervention to treat this anxiety. To answer these questions, a survey made to the hospitalized patients including sex, age, educational level, Marital state, and a standardized questionnaires (GAD-7 and PHQ-9) which has been validated and shown to possess good psychometric qualities in studies of participants from multiple populations.
