Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus has affected the lives of millions of individuals globally and also severely strained the medical community. Pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 positive individuals far outnumber the symptomatic ones or those with severe disease. The transmission potential of SARS CoV-2 is potentially greater than earlier viral outbreaks of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV.Routine measures of social distancing, personal hand hygiene and limited outdoor contact activities have shown benefits to limit corona virus infection. However, the role of vitamin D in SARS-CoV-2 infection is sparingly explored despite the knowledge of an immunomodulatory role and protective effect of vitamin D against viral infections. Meta-analysis of five clinical trials of vitamin D supplementation found that those receiving vitamin D supplementation had fewer respiratory tract infections (odds ratio = 0.58 (95%CI, 0.42 - 0.81).Any immune-modulatory effect of vitamin D is likely to be observed at levels which are considered higher than that required for normal bone metabolism.

The study is a prospective, pilot study aimed to test the safety of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) concomitant with best standard of care, for the treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients and continued treatment after hospitalization. The device is an experimental, portable, battery operated device for chronic administration of alternating electric fields (termed TTFields) to the region of the organ to be treated, by means of surface, insulated electrode arrays.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of exercises with and without postural and ergonomic training among the students returning to university after quarantine due to COVID-19.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MP1032 with standard of care (SoC) verses placebo with SoC in hospitalized adults participants with moderate to severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

A new wave of COVID-19 infections, mainly caused by the Omicron/ Delta variant, has been sweeping the globe since the start of 2022. In response, the administration of a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine was considered to address potential waning immunity over time and reduced effectiveness against the Omicron/ Delta variant. The pandemic also resulted in many infections among health care workers (HCWs) and their households. In this study, a retrospective analysis would perform on risk of COVID-19 infection and their outcome in relation to their COVID-19 vaccination history by using the data repository from one of the Hong Kong private hospitals. HCWs were required to submit a standardized online self-declaration form for report of 1) demographic of the HCWs, 2) symptoms related history and 3) COVID-19 exposure history once they were COVID-19 confirmed by rapid antigen test against COVID-19 and/or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for COVID-19. Subsequent follow up such as contact tracing, COVID-19 PCR testing results of these HCWs and status of return to work were captured by the infection control team in a systematic manner.

This is a randomized, double-blind, Phase 1b clinical trial to evaluate the safety, Pharmacodynamics, and Pharmacokinetic of SSD8432 combined with ritonavir tablets in adults with COVID-19.

The purpose of the study is to assess safety and efficacy of Carnipure tartrate (L-Carnitine and L-tartaric acid - LCLT) supplementation for SARS-Cov-2 infection

As of September 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected millions of people in 196 countries and left hundreds of thousands dead. After recovery it was found that up to 32% of cases had 1 or 2 symptoms, 55% had 3 or more Post-COVID-19 symptoms, and persistent Post COVID-19 cough was recorded in 29.3% of cases in one study. A recent study identified Montelukast, among the top-scoring clinically-oriented drugs likely to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 main protease. Besides its known effect that is reported to improve cough and prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in asthma, many trials assessed Montelukast in the treatment of post-infectious cough and found variable effects. Despite that the exact mechanism is not yet identified, Barré and colleagues proposed several properties of Cyst LT1 receptor antagonists that are potentially beneficial in COVID-19.

A new coronavirus, the third documented animal-to-human passage, emerged in Wuhan , China in the last quarter of 2019. Acne patients on doxycycline escaped seasonal viruses, showing the interest of this antibiotic as a possible treatment against COVID-19. The antiviral action of tetracyclines can be explained by different mechanisms. First of all, tetracyclines are modulators of innate immunity by decreasing NF-B expression, inhibiting inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6, inflammatory granulomas and free radical release . This action is obtained at doses lower than those necessary to obtain an antibiotic effect. Another possible action of tetracyclines is their ability to chelate zinc from matrix metalloproteinases (MMPS). The coronavirus family is known to bind to host MMPs, particularly for viral survival. Their chelating activity may help inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection by limiting its ability to replicate in the host. Finally, tetracyclines could have a direct action by inhibiting the replication of single-stranded RNA virus, such as the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.We therefore propose a larger comparative study using data from the French National Health Data System.

This is a randomized, single-center, single-blind, placebo controlled, study to evaluate efficacy of PanCytoVir™ 500 mg twice daily and 1000 mg twice daily for the treatment of non-hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection.
