Active clinical trials for "Infections"

COVID-19 is a viral respiratory and systemic disease that has been rapidly spreading globally since the first cases were reported in December 2019 and has now become pandemic. The causative agent of COVID-19 was identified as a novel coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, first designated as 2019-nCoV). The disease manifestations of COVID-19 can range from mild, self-resolving respiratory disease to severe pneumonia, ARDS, multiorgan failure, and ultimately death. In early reports, the mortality rate among patients admitted to hospital and with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was reported to be between 4 and 15%. Although the disease can afflict all age groups, elderly patients and patients with underlying comorbidities such as high body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cerebrovascular disease are at risk of developing severe disease and dying. There are currently no etiologic treatments for COVID-19, and efforts are underway to identify therapeutics that could be effective in controlling this disease.

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of interferon-gamma by subcutaneous injection in complex treatment of patients with co-infection of HIV and pulmonary tuberculosis and to determine the rational of its use.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of multiple ascending dose (MAD) of PA1010 tablets in Chinese adults with Chronic Hepatitis B.

Conventional therapy of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is not always effective and sometimes leads to side effects and also to inappropriate use of antibiotic. Hence, a search for safe and effective further treatment options is justified and would be a welcome addition to available conventional treatment. Use of plant based dietary supplements has become increasingly popular over the last few decades or so. Research based on some plants is more than centuries old and its main therapeutic objective is to stimulate the self-healing power of the body. Andrographolide was docked successfully in the binding site of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. Computational approaches also predicts this molecule to have good solubility, pharmacodynamics property and target accuracy. This molecule also obeys Lipinski's rule, which makes it a promising compound to pursue further biochemical and cell based assays to explore its potential for use against COVID-19. A. Paniculata is a patented extract, standardized to Andrographolide, 14-deoxyandrographolide, and Neo-andrographolide. Maqui contains Maqui Berry Extract of Aristotelia Chilensis (10% Anthocyanidin, 8% Delphinidin) belonging to the family of Elaeocarpaceae, which has been known for its use in several conditions such as sore throat, fever and several other ailments. In the present study, the therapeutic potential of Andrographis Paniculata and Aristotelia chilensis as single ingredients as well as in combination will be evaluated in participants with common cold and COVID related symptoms. The products to be evaluated have been rigorously standardized and are available under the brand names of A. Paniculata and A. Chilensis. Literature indicates that both A. Paniculata and A.Chilensis are effective and safe in the treatment of typical cold-related symptoms in adults.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive, seamless phase I / II clinical study of the safety and immunogenicity of a recombinant viral vector AAV5-RBD-S vaccine for the prevention of coronavirus infection (COVID-19)

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of RP7214 in patients with symptomatic mild SARS-CoV-2 infection, having at least one high-risk feature (e.g., age > 60 years, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic lung disease, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, cerebrovascular disease, obesity, cancer) for developing severe Covid-19 illness.

The study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 2 drugs ART regimen (lamivudine plus dolutegravir) for prevention of mother to child transmission in pregnant women with HIV. 20 pregnant women will be enrolled in this proof of concept protocol. They will be prescribed DTG-3TC (fixed-dose combination), and will be followed up to the end of gestation. Initially, a total of 10 pregnant women will be recruited for the first phase of the study. Once the first phase is successfully completed, 10 additional participants will be included in a second step.

In November 2019, there were a lot of cases of an acute respiratory illness (then named at February 11th as COVID_19) which first case was reported in Wuhan, China,The SARS COV-2 had been spread in a fast way to involve whole world, As it's obvious that Colchicine is a drug that is most commonly and widely used to treat and prevent acute attacks of Gout, other crystal induced arthropathy,colchicine has important role in inhibiting activation of NLRP3 inflammasome these lead to decrease cytokine production , aim of study To evaluate whether colchicine is effective in the treatment of COVID-19 cases. And to measure the effectiveness of colchicine in alleviating and controlling pulmonary and extra pulmonary complications of COVID-19

With the progression of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic there's an increasing number of patients recovering from COVID19. Some of these patients still experience hypoxemia and therefore are still in need of a long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT), usually provided as a constant-flow. However, during a patient's daily activities, oxygenation levels may vary and the same constant flow may not be suitable for all tasks. Studies in COPD patients suggest that an automatic oxygen titration, which adjusts the oxygen flow automatically according to a patient's blood oxygen levels to prevent desaturations, could be beneficial compared to a constant oxygen titration during exercise. So far there are no studies available that directly compare the automatic oxygen titration with the patient's prescribed constant oxygen flow in patients with hypoxemia after SARS-CoV-2 infection during activities of daily life. Therefore, the primary outcome of this study is to investigate the effects of an automatic oxygen titration (O2matic, Denmark) in comparison to constant oxygen flow rates as prescribed according to guidelines.

Nowadays, de novo everolimus regimen in renal transplant patients is considered for reduction of cyclosporine dose and it is mentioned that this regimen not only has similar safety and efficacy, but also could prevent Cytomegalovirus (CMV )infections. So, the aim of this study was comparison of safety and efficacy of de novo everolimus plus low dose of cyclosporine with standard dose of cyclosporine plus cellcept on CMV virus infections prevention in renal transplant patients.
