Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The study is a randomized controlled, open-label trial comparing subcutaneous Zilucoplan® with standard of care to standard of care alone. In the active group, Zilucoplan® will be administered subcutaneously once daily for 14 days or till discharge from the hospital, whichever comes first. The hypothesis of the proposed intervention is that Zilucoplan® (complement C5 inhibitor) has profound effects on inhibiting acute lung injury post COVID-19, and can promote lung repair mechanisms, that lead to a 25% improvement in lung oxygenation parameters. This hypothesis is based on experiments performed in mice showing that C5a blockade can prevent mortality and prevent ARDS in mice with post-viral acute lung injury. Eligible patients include patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection suffering from hypoxic respiratory failure defined as O2 saturation below 93% on minimal 2l/min O2 therapy and/or ratio PaO2/FiO2 below 350.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of administration of plasma containing antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus (i.e., convalescent plasma) and if it is able to prevent disease or lessen the severity of disease in individuals who are at high risk of developing COVID-19 due to a recent exposure. This study will also measure the level of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in patient's blood after the administration of the convalescent plasma.

OSCAR (Otilimab in Severe COVID-19 Related Disease) is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of otilimab for the treatment of severe pulmonary COVID-19 related disease. The study is being conducted in 2 parts (Part 1 and Part 2). Otilimab is a human monoclonal anti-granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) antibody that has not previously been tested in participants with severe pulmonary COVID-19 related disease in Part 1. The aim of this study is to evaluate the benefit-risk of a single infusion of otilimab in the treatment of hospitalized participants with severe COVID-19 related pulmonary disease with new onset hypoxia requiring significant oxygen support or requiring early invasive mechanical ventilation (less than or equal to [<=] 48 hours before dosing). Participants will be randomized to receive a single intravenous (IV) infusion of otilimab or placebo, in addition to standard of care.

At present there is no approved drug treatment for Covid-19. In this study we plan to investigate if an experimental drug called IMU-838 (vidofludimus calcium) can improve your symptoms, prevent worsening that would initiate further treatments such as ventilation, and can lower your virus number if given in addition to your doctor's choice of standard therapy. We will also test if IMU-838 has any side effects and measure the level of IMU 838 in your blood. Experimental drug means that it is not yet authorized for marketing in your country. To date approximately 600 individuals have received IMU-838 (or a drug similar to IMU-838 that contains the same active substance as IMU-838) in research studies.

The effect of RESP301 as an add on treatment to SOC will be evaluated for its efficacy in reducing rate of progression to a more severe level of COVID-19 and for safety, by comparison with SOC alone in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

This is a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of LAM-002A compared to placebo treatment in adults with a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection who are receiving standards supportive care in an outpatient setting.

COVID-19 is increasingly affecting children but convalescent plasma (CP) has not been adequately studied in children to date. The study will determine safety of convalescent plasma for pediatric patients with severe, or at high risk for severe, COVID-19 disease.

Two recent studies have suggested that in patients with Covid19, treatment with hydroxychloroquine may shorten the duration of symptoms and improve viral clearance, an effect that appears most pronounced when combined with azithromycin. Hydroxychloroquine treatment may inhibit viral nucleic acid-mediated activation of various innate immune pathways, as well as blockade of lysosomal functions in cell types relevant for viral entry and antigen presentation. The purpose of the study was to determine if oral hydroxychloroquine monotherapy, or in combination with azithromycin results in clinical benefit in patients hospitalized with COVID19 pneumonia.

To determine the effect of favipiravir + SOC v. SOC on COVID-19 viral clearance.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of low dose oral selinexor (KPT-330) and to evaluate the clinical recovery, the viral load, length of hospitalization and the rate of morbidity and mortality in participants with severe COVID-19 compared to placebo. The study had 2 arms and evaluated selinexor 20 mg + standard of care (SoC) and placebo + SoC. As the treatment for COVID-19 is rapidly evolving, the SoC varied over time and across regions of the world.
