Active clinical trials for "Pneumonia"

This is a prospective, randomized clinical trial. During the study, non-HIV patients who are admitted to ICU due to Pneumocystic pneumonia (PCP) and have not received anti-PCP therapy or have received therapy less than 48hrs will be randomized (1:1) to received caspofungin combined with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole alone. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of caspofungin combined with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole with that of conventional therapy (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole alone) as first-line therapy in the treatment of severe Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in non-HIV patients.

The Thoracic ultrasound is a safer and sensitive technique than conventional radiography because it detects less than 1 cm pneumonic consolidations and minimal pleural effusions. The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of thoracic ultrasound performed by unskilled personnel in the emergency service prdiatricas to diagnose pneumonia in children.

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TCM syndrome differentiation treatment on the rehospitalization rate of discharged elderly patients with community acquired pneumonia(CAP)and to explore its mechanism.

The purpose of this clinical study is to answer the questions: Is the proposed intervention safe? Is the proposed intervention effective in improving the health of subjects with severe viral pneumonia？

At present, there is no specific and effective antiviral therapy.In this study, an open, prospective/retrospective, randomized controlled cohort study was designed to compare the efficacy of different hormone doses in the treatment of 2019-nCoV severe Pneumonia.This study explores effective treatment programs for 2019-nCoV severe pneumonia and provides a reliable evidence-based basis for the treatment.

The aim of this study is to test whether Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs) are effective and safe for treating COVID-19 infection. After the enrolment of approximately 30 subjects, the recruitment will be paused, and planned interim analysis will be performed to preliminarily investigate the efficacy and safety of TCMs in patients infected with COVID-19.

In this single-center, randomized, open-label, controlled study, the investigators will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) in combination with standard care for severe 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) pneumonia.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of azvudine in treatment of COVID-19

This study investigates the efficay and tolerance of 5-days course of hydroxychloroquine or hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin of patients with COVID-19 infection. The investigators will undertake a randomized, double-blind, controlled Trial in the region of Sousse Tunisia

Due to the limitations of COVID-19 treatment and in the absence of licensed antiviral for COVID-19, the historical choice of therapeutic convalescent plasma (CP) is considered especially against RNA viruses .It was known that convalescent plasma does not only neutralize the pathogens but provide passive immunomodulatory properties that allows the recipient to control the exaggerated inflammatory cascade. However, still there is a lack of understanding of the mechanism of action of CCP therapeutic components. Reports from open label trials and case series show that CCP is safe and might be effective in severe cases with COVID-19 . Therefore, the World health organisation (WHO) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued guidelines for the CCP usage and standardised the donor selection , which was further supported by Emergency use Authorisation (EUA) . Therefore, the aim in the current study is to assess the effect of CCP on time to clinical improvement, hospital mortality and to evaluate the changes on oxygen saturation and laboratory markers (lymphocyte counts and C-reactive protein) compared with standard treatment alone in patients with moderate or severe COVID-19 disease.
