Accelerating COVID-19 Clinical Recovery in the Outpatient Setting: Retrospective Analysis
COVID-19COVID-19 Pandemic3 moreThe purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the effectiveness of CPM nasal spray as part of the treatment of COVID-19 and its impact on clinical symptoms. Two cohort groups will be compared (CPM vs. standard care). The hypothesis to be tested is that patients treated with CPM nasal spray showed more rapid clinical improvement than those treated with standard of care alone. Clinical improvement will be evaluated by the total number of days with the manifestation of COVID-19 symptoms, including cough, nasal congestion, ageusia, and anosmia, among others. The rate of hospitalization between the cohorts will also be evaluated.
Covid-19 Associated Coagulopathy Predicted by Thrombodynamic Markers (CoViTro-I)
Coronavirus Disease 2019The aim of the study is estimating the predictive and preventative capability of thrombodynamics for severe pneumonia coagulopathy complications in patients with COVID-19 infection. Thrombodynamics test is a method for blood coagulation and anticoagulation monitoring. It could be a useful tool for predicting thrombohemorrhagic complications in patients with COVID-19 infection and developing a novel scheme of anticoagulant therapy. Inclusion criteria are the following: patient informed concern, confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis, state of modern or critical condition.

Long Term Sequelae of COVID-19: Follow-up Study in Dhaka, Bangladesh
COVID-19COVID-19 or coronavirus disease 2019 is an emerging infectious disease. The disease was first identified in China and then spread worldwide; hence, declared as a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 by World Health Organization (WHO). The pandemic is posing formidable challenges to healthcare systems and humanities worldwide resulting in morbidities and mortalities unthought of. Rapidly accumulating clinical evidence on COVID-19 paved the way for an extensive and prompt characterization of the acute phase of the disease. The clinical presentation is generally that of a respiratory infection with a symptom severity ranging from a mild common cold-like illness, to a severe viral pneumonia leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome that is potentially fatal. Characteristic symptoms include fever, cough, and dyspnoea, although some patients may be asymptomatic. Complications of severe disease include, but are not limited to, multi-organ failure, septic shock, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The COVID-19 infection fatality rate is between 0.5 and 1 percent and the remaining affected patients will mostly recover but need convalescent care. However, discharge should not be considered as the final point of overcoming coronavirus and till date evidence on sequelae of the COVID-19 recovered patients is very limited. COVID-19 is a complex multisystem disease that affects pulmonary function, as well as renal, cardiovascular, and neuropsychiatric health, metabolic derangement; and nutritional status. The extent to which these alterations may persist remains obscure, till date evidence on long term sequelae of the COVID-19 recovered patients is very limited. Some of the aftereffects of it may have a profound impact on 'recovered' patients in the future. Long-term morbidities were observed in survivors of severe acute respiratory syndrome but it is unidentified whether experience from SARS is applicable to COVID-19. The SARS-CoV-2 infection is severe in older, immune deficient people and who have any pre-existing medical conditions. Hence, it is imperative to comprehend the possible long-term sequelae of the COVID-19 recovered patients, and if they will develop any other harmful illnesses. This study would help us to understand the in-depth prognosis and sequelae of the disease, as well as help to uncover to what extent would COVID-19 recovered patients require post-acute care to recuperate from any further infections or multi-organ damage.

Pegylated Interferon - α2b With SARSCoV- 2 (COVID-19)
Covid19This is a phase II, multicenter, open-label, randomized, comparator-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pegylated Interferon -α2b in the treatment of adult patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19).Initial 1 mcg/kg of Pegylated Interferon-α2b will be administered on day 1. After safety evaluation of first dose, next dose (second dose) 1 mcg/kg on day 8 will be administered with recommended standard care during the trial.
Clinical Study for the Treatment With Interferon-ß-1a (IFNß-1a) of COVID-19 Patients
COVID-19 Virus InfectionPharmacological therapies of proven efficacy in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are still lacking. Since two clinical stages of COVID-19 are emerging, an early one with typical clinical characteristics of a viral infection (fever, malaise, cough) and a later one with pneumonia leading to progressive respiratory failure, associated with heavy, cytokine-mediated, inflammation, an intervention by a compound possessing both antiviral activity and immunomodulatory effects would be most effective at the earliest possible stage. The purpose of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of Interferon-β-1a (IFNβ-1a), in COVID-19 patients in an open label, randomized clinical trial. The design of the study is to test IFNβ-1a in addition to standard of care compared with standard of care alone. The primary outcome is the time to negative conversion of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-CoronaVirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) nasopharyngeal swabs.
Inhaled Ciclesonide for Outpatients With COVID19
COVID 19The CONTAIN (CiclesOnide cliNical TriAl covId-19 treatmeNt) is a randomized control study of ciclesonide vs placebo for mild covid-19 disease. The need for potential therapy for COVID-19 patients is urgent. Ciclesonide has shown encouraging in vitro results, is easy to be used and is readily available. It has a low rate of side effects and few interactions with other drugs. It is unusual to use an inhaled steroid drug for COVID-19 but there has been new data suggesting steroids may have an antiviral effect in addition to an anti-inflammatory effect. Investigators propose to use inhaled and nasal ciclesonide to stop viral replication in the nose and airways. Investigators hope this will accelerate recovery from COVID-19 illness in individuals who are not admitted to hospital at time of diagnosis of COVID-19.
