Active clinical trials for "Coronavirus Infections"

This will be a randomized, open-label study to determine if camostat+ bicalutamide decreases the proportion of people with COVID-19 who require hospitalization, compared to historical controls. Patients with symptomatic COVID-19, diagnosed as outpatients, will be randomized 1:1, stratified by gender, to treatment with standard of care alone (Arm 1) or with camostat and bicalutamide (Arm 2).

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of anti-COVID-19 immune globulin (human) 20% (C19-IG 20%) (2 doses) versus placebo with regard to the percentage of asymptomatic participants who remain asymptomatic, i.e., who do not develop symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) through Day 14 as per the protocol defined criteria.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus causes severe respiratory illness and is an ongoing global pandemic. On December 12, 2020 the FDA approved Pfizer's BioNTech vaccine BNT162b2 which is a messenger RNA type of vaccine for use. This vaccine has shown in numerous studies the ability to induce a strong immune response and provide both humeral and cellular protection against wild type, alpha and delta variants of SARS-CoV2 virus. In Israel the national vaccine operation began in mid-December 2020 which included 2 initial doses three weeks apart. In August 2021 a first booster (3rd dose) was provided to enhance protection and due to reports of reduced immune response and clinical protection. Several studies have demonstrated that over time there is a decay in the antibody levels, and with them reduced protection. Recently a new variant of concern has been identified (Omicron) and is causing a surge of infections worldwide. There is lack of knowledge regarding the effectiveness of the current schedule of vaccine against this new variant and whether a second booster (4th dose) will provide higher levels of clinical protection against this variant, currently the ministry of health is considering recommendations for a fourth dose for HCW. The purpose of this study is to examine whether a fourth dose of vaccination will provide better protection against infection and clinical disease.

The CRP/albumin ratio (CAR) is a recently defined parameter which represents the ratio of a positive acute phase reactant to a negative acute phase reactant. Recent studies have shown that the CRP/albumin ratio is a biomarker with prognostic value for various inflammatory disorders and serious diseases. With this study it is aimed to investigate the effect of CRP/albumin ratio in predicting the severity and prognosis of the disease in pregnant patients with more severe Covid-19 infection.

This study is designed to test the efficacy and safety of combinations of two well-understood agents - famotidine and celecoxib. Each of these agents separately demonstrate clinical activity in mitigating COVID-19 disease symptoms or severity, and each of which appear to have separate and complementary mechanisms of action.

This is a phase IIIa, prospective, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral colchicine plus standard therapy versus standard therapy in the clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 infection, in a population group with moderate COVID-19 compromise and requiring hospitalization.Aproximately 120 subjects meeting all inclusion and not inclusion criteria will be randomized to receive either Colchicine plus standard treatment or only standard treatment for 15 days

Study Objective: To test if early preemptive hydroxychloroquine therapy can prevent disease progression in persons with known symptomatic COVID-19 disease, decreasing hospitalizations and symptom severity.

This is a 2-part, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of oral varespladib, in addition to standard of care, in patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2.

The proposed hypothesis is that high doses of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for at least 2 weeks can be effective antiviral medication both as a treatment in ambulatory patients and prophylaxis/treatment in health care workers because it impairs lysosomal function and reorganizes lipid raft (cholesterol and sphingolipid rich microdomains in the plasma membrane) content in cells, which are both critical determinants of Emerging Viral Disease (EVD) infection. This hypothesis is based on a growing literature linking chloroquine to antiviral activity. It is estimated that enough information exists to launch a clinical trial of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19.

This study explores whether patients acutely hospitalized may have shorter hospitalization and fewer admittances at Intensive Care Units by treatment with azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine.
