Active clinical trials for "Coronavirus Infections"

A two-stage trial will involve healthy volunteers. The first stage is open trial, and the second stage is a double-blind trial with randomization of volunteers into three groups. At stage I of the trial, the maximum number of screened healthy volunteers will be 30 of which 20 men aged 18 to over 60 years. At stage II of the trial, the maximum number of screened healthy volunteers will be 150, of which 135 men and women aged 18 to over 60 years eligible according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria are planned to be included and randomized to collect data that will be used for the subsequent safety and immunogenicity assessment. The enrollment of volunteers at stage II will be competitive.

Recent data have shown that covid19 is disproportionately infecting and killing African Americans and Latinx people in the United States. The aim of the study is to determine which messages are most effective at increasing knowledge and changing behaviors that can protect individuals and their communities from the virus. To accomplish this aim, we plan to recruit approximately 20,000 Hispanic and African-American individuals and randomly assign them to videos that vary either the sender or the framing of the message, while providing the relevant public health information.

In December 2019, new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) broke out in Wuhan (Hubei, China), and it spread rapidly from one city to the whole country in just 30 days, and then worldwide cases began to appear. All the countries of the world take some precautions to prevent the spread of this epidemic disease, which WHO declared as "pandemic". Apart from compulsory situations, non-home and social isolation are the primary measures. However, not leaving the house and social isolation brings with it the restriction of physical activity. According to World Health Organization (WHO), in order to obtain health benefits, adult individuals between the ages of 18-64 should perform at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week (30 minutes a day for 5 days a week) or intensive physical activity for at least 75 minutes a week. For additional health benefits, adults should increase their moderate-intensity physical activities to at least 300 minutes a week or equivalent. Physical activity; It is directly related to the prevention of chronic diseases, increasing fitness, strengthening the muscles and increasing the quality of life. It is reported that one of the ten main risk factors in terms of mortality in the world is insufficient physical activity. The effects of social isolation are related to physical inactivity, smoking and the possibility of having both health risk behaviors together. Practical and innovative interventions are needed to reduce physical performance and decrease in muscle mass, strength and physical performance in the aging population. Considering today's conditions and current COVID-19 Pandemic, technology-supported exercise programs are effective in increasing the motivation for physical activity. The purpose of this study; In order to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, social isolation, which is one of the measures taken in our country, is to evaluate the physical activity level of adults and to investigate the effectiveness of home exercises. It is aimed to use a model based on the video supported by a home-based exercise program.

In the SAVE study patients with lower respiratory tract infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) at high risk for progression to serious respiratory failure will be detected using the suPAR biomarker. They will begin early treatment with anakinra in the effort to prevent progression in serious respiratory failure.

This is a phase I/IIa trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunological profile of INO-4800 administered by intradermal (ID) injection followed by electroporation (EP) using the CELLECTRA® 2000 device in healthy adults aged 19 to 64 years in Republic of Korea. INO- 4800 contains the plasmid pGX9501, which encodes for the full length of the Spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the tolerability, safety, and immunogenicity of INO-4800 administered by ID injection followed by EP in healthy adults in the Part A and Part B. Enrollment into Part A, and Part B will proceed sequentially.

This is a phase 2, prospective, multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous (IV) administration of CSL324, administered in combination with SOC treatment, in subjects with COVID 19. For the purposes of this study, standard of care (SOC) may include any written or established treatment protocol followed at the study site for the treatment of severe COVID-19 or its complications, including off-label use of marketed pharmaceutical products and / or products with emergency use authorization granted for the treatment of COVID-19 (ie, not yet marketed) (eg, remdesivir).

Based on findings of the interim analysis of the ACTIVATE study showing 53% decrease of the incidence of all new infections with BCG vaccination, a new trial is designed aiming to validate if BCG can protect against COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease-19).The aim of the study is to demonstrate in a double-blind, placebo-controlled approach if vaccination of participants susceptible to COVID-19 with BCG vaccine may modulate their disease susceptibility for COVID-19. This will be validated using both clinical and immunological criteria. At the same time, a sub-study will be conducted and the mechanism of benefit from BCG vaccination by assessing its effect on vascular endothelial function and mononuclear blood cells will be studied

Although immune-inflammatory treatment is not routinely recommended to be used for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, according to the pathological findings of pulmonary oedema and hyaline membrane formation, timely and appropriate use of immune modulator together with ventilator support should be considered for the severe patients to prevent ARDS development. The sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor regulators Fingolimod (FTY720) is an effective immunology modulator which has been widely used in multiple sclerosis.The aim of this study was to determine whether the efficacy of fingolimod for a novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The Sona Saliva C-19 Rapid Test is a bioassay intended for rapid point-of-care detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Performance of the Sona Saliva C-19 Rapid Test assay will be assessed by comparison to a RT-PCR reference method

The health crisis linked to the coronavirus has had a significant impact on the mental health. The question of the repercussion of this crisis on the consumption of psychotropic drugs is crucial. It is all the more true in France, which was already among the countries with the highest consumption of psychotropic drugs before the crisis. Indeed, an increase in the number of reimbursements for anxiolytic, hypnotic and antidepressant drugs has been highlighted in the context of the health crisis, using data from the health insurance database. To enhance the understanding about the impacts of the health crisis on the use of psychotropic drugs, it is essential to characterize the evolution of the use at the individual level. The main objective is to assess the impact of the coronavirus-related health crisis on the consumption of psychotropic drugs by studying the trajectories of reimbursements. The secondary objective of the project is to evaluate the evolution of problematic consumption of psychotropic drugs in the context of the health crisis.
