Active clinical trials for "Coronavirus Infections"

This is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of ivermectin in reducing the risk of progression to severe disease and hospitalizations in COVID-19 patients.

The clinical study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of inhaled nanoparticle nanoparticle formulation of Remdesivir (GS-5734) alone and in combination with NA-831 in 48 healthy volunteers.

To measure the effect of Ivermectin (sub-cutaneous) with or without zinc in treating the COVID-19 patients to clear viral load of SARS-CoV-2 along with reduction in severity of symptoms and length of hospitalization of patients with COVID-19.

This is a randomized, randomized controlled trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of Neurokinin-1 Receptor (NK-1R) 80 mg orally given daily to treat cytokine storm causing inflammatory lung injury and respiratory failure associated with severe or critical COVID-19 infection. NK-1R is the receptor of Substance P (SP) and responsible for its functionality. Here, we propose that SP via its tachykinin receptor, NK-1R may cause inflammation in Covid-19 infection. It may initiate the cytokine storming via binding to its receptor NK-1 and many inflammatory mediators are released. If SP release is reduced by NK-1R antagonist, it may control the cytokine storming and hence the hyper-responsiveness of the respiratory tract through reduction in cytokine storming It may serve as the treatment strategy for Covid-19 infected patients. Patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be enrolled after giving consent. They wll be randomized to treatment with either NK-1R antagonist or placebo in addition to Dexamethasone as a standard treatment given to both groups for Covid-19 infection as per the protocol at the treating hospital. Inflammatory lab markers as detailed should be collected once per day in the morning, preferably at the same time every morning. All enrolled participants will have whole blood collected for whole genome sequencing.

The purpose of this trial is to determine whether Prone Positioning (PP) improves outcomes for non-intubated hospitalized patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure due to COVID-19, who are not candidates for mechanical ventilation in the ICU. The investigators hypothesize that PP will reduce in-hospital mortality or discharge to hospice, compared with usual care for non-intubated patients with do-not-intubate goals of care with hypoxemic respiratory failure due to probable COVID-19.

A randomized, open-label, multicenter, three-arm clinical trial to study the efficacy and safety of passive immunotherapy (convalescent plasma and anti-COVID-19 human immunoglobulin) compared to the standard treatment in Colombia.

In December 2019, Wuhan, in Hubei province, China, became the center of an outbreak of pneumonia of unknown cause. In a short time, Chinese scientists had shared the genome information of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from these pneumonia patients and developed a real-time reverse transcription PCR (real time RT-PCR) diagnostic assay. In view of the fact that there is currently no effective antiviral therapy, the prevention or treatment of lung injury caused by COVID-19 can be an alternative target for current treatment. Xiyanping injection has anti-inflammatory and immune regulation effects. This study is a Randomized, Parallel Controlled Clinical Study to treat patients with COVID-19 infection.

New coronavirus infection is an important cause of public health emergencies at home and abroad, which seriously affects people's health and social stability. The outbreak of SRAR-COV in China in 2003 caused serious social impact. From January 2002 to August 7, 2003, there were a total of 8,422 cases worldwide, involving 32 countries and regions, of which 919 cases were fatal, with a fatality rate of nearly 11%. The fatality rate of elderly patients and patients with underlying diseases was even more high.There is no precise and effective treatment for coronavirus infection. In vitro, IFN-α2β has inhibitory effects on MERS-CoV and closely related coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) -CoV. A study showed the effects of interferon-α2β and ribavirin on the replication of nCoV isolates hCoV-EMC / 2012 in Vero and LLC-MK2 cells. The combined application may be useful for the management of patients with nCoV infection in the future. At present, the combination therapy of interferon α2β and ribavirin has been successfully applied in the initial treatment and prevention of SARS and MERS.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human interferon α1β in treating patients with new coronavirus infection in Wuhan.

This study is a multi-centered, three-armed, randomized, double-blinded, controlled study, namely, the oral trial drug favipiravir tablets plus chloroquine phosphatetablets tablets group (combined group), the oral trial drug favipiravir tablets group (pirovir group), and the oral placebo treatment group (control group). The total number of enrolled cases in this study was set at 150. During the treatment, the clinical data of the subjects were collected, the changes of viral load and biochemical indicators were detected, and the outcome of the subjects was monitored. The main indicators of efficacy include improvement or recovery of respiratory symptoms and viral nucleic acid shedding. The rate of progression to severe disease, duration of fever, peripheral blood index and improvement time of pulmonary imaging were the secondary indicators to evaluate the efficacy. Statistical analysis was performed at the middle and final stages of the study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of favipiravir tablets combined with chloroquine phosphatetablets tablets in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was recognized as a pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization. The virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) is easily transmitted through person to person and there is still no specific approach against the disease and mortality rate in severe cases is also significant. Therefore, finding effective treatment for the mortality of these patients is very important. In this study the investigators aim to determine the effect of Convalescent Plasma on COVID-19 patients Outcome through a Clinical Trial
