Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

Comparison of the effects of CYT107 vs Placebo administered IM at 10μg/ kg twice a week for two weeks on immune reconstitution of lymphopenic COVID-19 patients.

This study will enroll 40 symptomatic outpatients tested positive for Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Patients to be randomized 1:1 to Telmisartan (40 mg) vs placebo to be administered orally once daily x 21 days. Daily, the study patients will be asked to keep a record of the severity of their fever, dyspnea and fatigue and take their blood pressure (BP) and temperature. Study visits to occur on day 1 (entry), day 4, day 10 and day 21. Oro-pharyngeal swabs, and approximately 25 cc of blood will be collected at each study visit for safety labs and for the evaluation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) system and for various blood biomarkers of inflammation, coagulation and fibrosis.

There is an urgent need to evaluate interventions that could be effective against the infection with SARS-CoV 2. Tannins based wood extracts are an inexpensive and safe product with protective effect in both bacterial and viral infections likely due to its anti- inflammatory, anti-oxidative effects and their modulation of the intestinal microbiota. This randomized controlled trial seeks to evaluate the efficacy of the tannins based dietary supplement ARBOX in positive COVID-19 patients.

This is a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pacritinib in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 with or without cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib in the treatment of participants with COVID-19-associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) who require mechanical ventilation.

The COVID-19 disease has been subject to numerous publications since its emergence. Almost 20% of people suffering from COVID-19 develop severe to critical symptoms and require hospitalization, often in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Respiratory failure is the main reason for admission in ICU of these patients. Therapeutic strategies implemented for the management of critically-ill patients may often lead to short-term muscular and functional alterations resulting in ICU-Acquired Weakness (ICUAW). These lead to long-term disabilities expressing trough dependence and quality of life impairment of survivors. The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of life, dependence and survival at one year in patients who survived from COVID-19 in ICU and are admitted in post-ICU setting for difficult weaning purpose. Ancillary studies aim to assess the course of muscle function (atrophy, structural modifications), lung function (loss of aeration) and safety of early mobilization.

During SARS-Cov2 infection with serious respiratory implication and high systemic inflammation level, intravenous ANAKINRA alone or associated with RUXOLITINIB for severe cases might reduce inappropriate systemic inflammatory response, improve breathing and decrease occurrence or duration of ARDS and associated mortality.

This is a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and antiviral activity of galidesivir in subjects with yellow fever (YF) or COVID-19.

This is an observational study of participants in two general population health surveys (FinSote 2018 and 2020) who are followed up for their COVID-19 vaccinations or end of follow-up. The primary objective is to examine the association between tobacco use and COVID-19 vaccine uptake and between-dose spacing.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an emerging infectious disease with high transmissibility. Around 20-25% of infected individuals develop severe COVID-19 disease requiring hospitalization and 5-8% require intubation secondary to viral pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Distinct features of COVID-19 ARDS were found since Nov 2019, including relatively normal lung mechanics, activation of the RAAS system, selective injury of type II alveolar cells, and presence of vasodilation vessel and micro-thrombosis. The mechanism, potential useful biomarker, and the optimal ventilation strategies for COVID-19 ARDS need to be systematically studied. This study hypothesized that the low-tidal volume ventilation strategy is effective in COVID-19 ARDS. We will retrospectively review the clinical presentation, epidemiologic data, laboratory and image examination, medication use, lung mechanics、serum biomarker, long-term pulmonary function test, and clinical outcomes in COVID-19 ARDS, influenza ARDS, and SARS ARDS patients. We will also prospectively monitor the lung function of COVID ARDS patients using personal pulmonary function devices after discharge from NTUH. The overall purpose of this study is to investigate the prognostic indicators of COVID ARDS patients and their long-term pulmonary function follow-up.
