Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of prophylactic mouth rinses in reducing the amount of viruses, specifically SARS-CoV-2 in the oral cavity. This research will guide dental and medical providers on best practices to be performed prior to dental and medical procedures involving the oral cavity.

The study is aimed at assessing the role of the activity of high-risk markers of thrombotic events (MCP-1, MIP1α, IP-10, phosphatedylserine, calreticulin) on the development of thrombotic complications in patients with COVID -19.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether nitazoxanide (NTZ) is safe and effective in treating mild or moderate COVID-19 illness in adults and adolescents at highest risk for severe outcomes. Each participant will be followed for approximately 28 days.

The purpose of the study is to describe medical care strategies implemented by healthcare establishments for patients affected by COVID-19

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which is caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in an ongoing global pandemic. It is unclear whether the relatively low number of reported cases of COVID-19 in people with CF (pwCF) is due to enhanced infection prevention practices or whether pwCF have protective genetic/immune factors. This study aims to prospectively assess the proportion of pwCF, including both adults and children with CF who have evidence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies over a two-year period. This study will also examine whether pwCF who have antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 have a different clinical presentation and what impact this has on their CF disease. The proposed study will recruit pwCF from paediatric and adult CF centres in Europe. Serological testing to detect antibodies will be performed on blood samples taken at month 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24 with additional time-points if bloodwork is available via normal clinical care. Clinical data on lung function, CF-related medical history, pulmonary exacerbations, antibiotic use, and microbiology and vaccination receipt, will be collected during routine clinical assessments. Associations will be examined between socio-demographic and clinical variables and serologic testing. The effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on clinical outcomes and analyse end-points will be examined to explore any age-related or gender-based differences, as well as subgroup analysis of outcomes in lung-transplant recipients and pwCF receiving CFTR modulator therapies. As pwCF receive COVID-19 vaccination a comparison of the development and progression of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in pwCF following natural infection and vaccination SARS-CoV-2 over time will be performed.

Arterial thrombosis and unusual patterns of thrombotic events in young adults patients with COVID-19 are yet rarely described in this setting and could be underestimated. There is a real need for studies to describe the frequency of unusual thrombotic complications.

Since March 2020, 3.5 million people have been infected with SARS-COV2 in France, and about 250 000 patients have been hospitalized and successfully discharged. In a majority of cases, the evolution of the disease is favourable, but both hospitalized or patients with a mild form of the disease may present so called "Long-COVID" syndrome - a patient-created term which describes the effects of COVID-19 that continue for weeks or months beyond the initial symptoms. There is thus an urgent need to evaluate the long-term medical resource utilisation (MRU) and health care burden incurred by patients with Long-COVID, as well as risk factors for Long-COVID. We will use the SNDS database to extract and analyze the data relevant to the project objectives. Indeed, the SNDS database is the French NHS database providing individual anonymous information of primary and secondary care linked at individual level (data from PMSI, the French DRG-based medical information system). It currently covers more than 98% of the French population. For the first time, our study will provide an estimation of MRU and associated costs of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. It will also provide an estimation of the rate of long COVID forms developed by hospitalized COVID patients, as well as detailed MRU and costs incurred by long COVID patients compared to patients with non-long COVID-19.

The objective of this study is to determine whether oral NAC is effective at attenuating COVID-19 disease symptom severity and duration of symptoms.

This is a phase 2 multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-control clinical trial with 200 subjects who have never been infected by COVID-19 (SARS-Cov-2 virus screen test negative, no blood SARS-Cov-2 IgM and IgG antibodies detected during enrollment) followed by a pilot study of 5 subjects to demonstrate the safety of proposed three-dose regimen of autologous AdMSCs infusions. The 100 study subjects who have previously banked their AdMSCs with Celltex, will receive three doses of autologous AdMSCs (approximately 200 million cells) intravenous infusion every three days. The 100 subjects in the control group who have previously banked their AdMSCs with Celltex will not receive any Celltex's AdMSC therapy but placebo treatments. All subjects are monitored for safety (adverse events/severe adverse events), COVID-19 symptoms, SARS-Cov-2 virus test, blood SARS-Cov-2 IgM and IgG antibodies tests, blood cytokine and inflammatory (CRP, IL_6, IL-10, TNFα) tests and disease severity evaluation for 6 months after the last dose of AdMSC infusion for the study group and 6 months after the enrollment for the control group.

Background: COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It infects the respiratory tract. Some people who get COVID-19 have only mild symptoms. But for others, infection leads to pneumonia, respiratory failure, and, in some cases, death. Researchers want to learn more about any effects that may persist after people recover from COVID-19. Objective: To learn about any long-term medical problems that people who have recovered from COVID-19 might have, and whether they develop an immune response to SARS-CoV-2 that provides protection against reinfection. Eligibility: People age 18 and older who have recovered from documented COVID-19 or were in close contact with someone who had COVID-19 but did not get the infection Design: Participants will be screened over 2 visits. During visit 1, they will answer questions about any symptoms they are having and will be tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection which will involve a nasal swab sample or other FDA approved test. If the test is negative, they will proceed to the second visit, which will include: Physical examination Medical history Mental health interview (which may be recorded if the participant agrees) Chest x-ray (for recovered COVID-19 participants only) Blood and urine tests Pregnancy test (if needed) Lung function test (for recovered COVID-19 participants only) 6-minute walk test (for recovered COVID-19 participants only) Questionnaires about their general and mental health Leukapheresis to collect white blood cells (optional). Participants will be put into 1 of 2 groups: the COVID-19 group or the close contact group. Participants will have study visits every 6 months for 3 years. They will repeat some of the screening tests. Participants in the COVID-19 group may have visits more often if they develop symptoms that suggest re-infection with SARS-CoV-2....
