Comparison of Tocilizumab Plus Dexamethasone vs. Dexamethasone for Patients With Covid-19
Coronavirus InfectionSARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)6 moreThe overall objective of the study is to determine the therapeutic effect and tolerance of Tocilizumab combined with Dexamethasone in patients with moderate, severe pneumonia or critical pneumonia associated with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Tocilizumab (TCZ) is an anti-human IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody that inhibits signal transduction by binding sIL-6R and mIL-6R. The study has a cohort multiple Randomized Controlled Trials (cmRCT) design. Randomization will occur prior to offering Dexamethasone alone or Dexamethasone +Tocilizumab administration to patients enrolled in the CORIMUNO-19 cohort. Tocilizumab will be administered to consenting adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 either diagnosed with moderate or severe pneumonia requiring no mechanical ventilation or critical pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation. Patients who will chose not to receive Tocilizumab will receive standard of cares. Outcomes of Tocilizumab-treated patients will be compared with outcomes of standard of care (including Dexamethasone) treated patients
LYT-100 in Post-acute COVID-19 Respiratory Disease
Covid19This study is being conducted in two parts, A and B. Part A is a randomized, double-blind, parallel arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LYT-100 compared to placebo in adults with post-acute COVID-19 respiratory complications. Part B is an Open Label Extension (OLE) study for patients who complete Part A.
Procalcitonin to Reduce Antibiotic Use in Pediatric Pneumonia
PneumoniaPediatric Respiratory Diseases2 moreThis pilot study will evaluate study processes and feasibility of a future large-scale clinical trial that proposes to test whether low-risk children managed as outpatients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels <0.25 ng/mL treated with placebo have a similar clinical response to those treated with antibiotics and fewer adverse effects.

Ventilator Hyperinflation and Hemodynamics
Respiratory FailureRespiratory DisordersVentilator hyperinflation (VHI) has been shown to be effective in improving respiratory mechanics, secretion removal, and gas exchange in mechanically ventilated patients; however, the literature is scarce concerning its safety and adverse effects. Thus, the aim of this study is to compare the hemodynamic repercussions of VHI in volume-controlled mode. In a randomized, controlled and crossover design, 24 mechanically ventilated patients will undergo 2 modes of ventilator hyperinflation (with and without an inspiratory pause) and a control intervention. Cardiac output, cardiac index, mean arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, systolic volume and other hemodynamic variables will be recorded during the interventions.
