Active clinical trials for "Pneumonia"

The objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of oral simvastatin in patients with a suspicion of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The hypothesis of this study is that simvastatin therapy will improve mortality in patients a suspicion of VAP.

The INSPIRE-ASP PNA trial is a cluster-randomized controlled trial of HCA hospitals comparing routine empiric antibiotic stewardship practices with real-time precision medicine computerized physician order entry smart prompts providing the probability that a non-critically ill adult admitted with PNA is infected with a resistant pathogen. Note: that enrolled "subjects" represents 59 individual HCA hospitals that have been randomized.

This study evaluated the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ravulizumab administered in adult participants with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severe pneumonia, acute lung injury, or acute respiratory distress syndrome. Participants were randomly assigned to receive ravulizumab in addition to best supportive care (BSC) (2/3 of the participants) or BSC alone (1/3 of the participants). BSC consisted of medical treatment and/or medical interventions per routine hospital practice.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial of LY3127804 in participants who are hospitalized with pneumonia and presumed or confirmed COVID-19.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group study to investigate the efficacy of pemziviptadil (PB1046) by improving the clinical outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients at high risk for rapid clinical deterioration, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and death. The study will enroll approximately 210 hospitalized COVID-19 patients who require urgent decision-making and treatment at approximately 20 centers in the United States.

The aim of the joint project PROVID is to contribute to better outcome prediction for COVID-19 patients, to better clinical management, and to the development of new therapies. To this end, the investigators will collect detailed data on the course of COVID-19 patients and deeply characterize them at the molecular level. The investigators also aim to identify compounds with the potential to improve outcome. The PROVID-PROGRESS study is being carried out as a prospective, longitudinal, multicenter observational study (case cohort study) with material asservation for genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analyzes on adult patients with COVID-19.

The goal of this study to evaluate whether eliminating the use of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) for maintenance of general anesthesia reduces postoperative pulmonary complications in higher risk patients.

This is an observational study of pooled population-based samples in three Nordic countries. Country-specific data has already been analysed in previous studies in Sweden, Finland, and Norway. The primary objective is to examine the association between tobacco use, the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and adverse Outcomes using pooled population-based samples.

Techfields Inc. is developing a new investigational prodrug as a topical spray, indicated for relief of the signs and symptoms of ARDS and pneumonia caused by COVID-19. This is a Phase 2, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind (Within Dose), Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group, and Dose-range-finding Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Active drug Versus Placebo in Treatments for COVID-19 in Hospitalized Adults, relieving of the signs and symptoms of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and pneumonia caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Primary Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of pristinamycin at a dose of 2g x 2/day for 2 days then 1g x 3/day for 5 to 7 days versus amoxicillin 1g x3 /day for 7 to 9 days, 5 to 9 days after the end of treatment. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the clinical efficacy in a subpopulation bacteriologically documented at inclusion and according to procalcitonin level. To evaluate the efficacy of treatments against pneumococcus. To evaluate the rate of relapse and mortality 30±2 days after treatment is started. To document failures. To collect and follow up adverse events.
