Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

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.

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.

Prospective, multi-centre, randomized, double-blind trial to assess efficacy and safety of ivermectin for the treatment of initial infection with SARS-CoV2 infection. Study arms: A) placebo B) ivermectin 600 μg/kg daily for 5 consecutive days (I_600) + placebo. C) ivermectin 1200 μg/kg daily at empty stomach with water for 5 consecutive days (I_1200). Patients will be randomized at emergency room of hospitals as well as at outpatient ambulatory care as well as at home, according to routine procedures of recruiting centres. In arm A and B, the number of placebo tablets to be administered will be calculated by the study dedicated pharmacist considering the number of tablets that should be taken in case a patient with the same weight is assigned to arm C.

The OVID study will show whether prophylactic-dose enoxaparin improves survival and reduces unplanned hospitalizations in ambulatory patients aged 50 or older diagnosed with COVID-19, a novel viral disease characterized by severe systemic, pulmonary, and vessel inflammation and coagulation activation.

Resveratrol is a plant polyphenol (that is sold commercially as a supplement) that might help fight coronavirus as well as help protect the body from the effects of disease (COVID-19) caused by the infection. In this proof-of-concept pilot study we will compare the effects of resveratrol to placebo to assess the safety of the resveratrol and explore effectiveness.

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.

This study will explore whether a daily supplement of glycine, a substance that has antiinflammatory, cytoprotective, and endothelium-protecting effects, can improve mortality, as well as clinical and biochemical parameters, in patients with severe COVID-19 who initiate mechanical ventilatory support.

Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19), an unprecedented global search for potential therapeutics and vaccines is ongoing. In this study, a combination of two drugs that have been shown to be effective against the germ that causes COVID-19 in the laboratory will be tested in patients diagnosed with moderate to severe COVID-19. One of the drugs is called nitazoxanide and the second is atazanavir/ritonavir. Nitazoxanide has been used for the treatment of diarrhea since 2004 while atazanavir/ritonavir was approved for HIV treatment in 2003. They are known to be safe in humans. In this pilot study, 98 COVID-19 patients will be recruited into two groups. The 49 patients in group 1 will receive the standard of care determined by their primary care providers while the 49 patients in group 2 will receive both the standard of care combined with the two study drugs. Patients in group 2 will receive the study drugs for 14 days and all patients will be monitored for a total of 28 days. The time it takes for the germ that causes COVID-19 to be completely removed from the body (in nasal secretions) and the time to clinical improvement will be monitored in all patients and compared between the two groups.

This is a phase II randomized study of convalescent plasma for the treatment of non-immune individuals with COVID-19 infection at high risk of complications. Subjects will be considered as having completed the study after 2 months (+/- 5) days, unless consent withdrawal or death occurs first. Subjects will be randomized to receiving convalescent plasma or best supportive care. Patients randomized to best supportive care may receive plasma should they require hospitalization for progression of COVID-19 disease. The final analysis will be conducted once the last subject completes the 2-month visit or withdraws from the study.
