Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The current study will be a pilot study for a randomized controlled trial conducted on patients recruited from the outpatient clinic of the Otorhinolaryngology Department, Menoufia Faculty of Medicine To evaluate the effect of vitamin D nasal drops in the treatment of post COVID 19 parosmia

The management of the sequelae of COVID-19 is described as the next great challenge of global public health. Multiple symptoms may compose the clinical picture of these patients (eg, fatigue, dyspnea, cognitive dysfunction, myalgia and others), persisting for more than a year and frequently causing clinically important functional impairment. Thus, a clinical trial will be conducted to investigate the effects of a remotely supervised home-based exercise program on functional sequelae of patients diagnosed with the post-COVID-19 condition (also known as Long COVID).

Rationale: In the treatment, care and isolation of COVID-19 patients, one of the most important issues is determining the duration of infectiousness. The current Dutch guideline advises at least 14 days of isolation for seriously ill patients, which is the case for most admitted patients, and at least 21 days for intubated patients. It is believed that in most cases this isolation duration is too long, which is highly undesirable for patients staying in closed single-occupancy rooms. This is known to result in limited contact with healthcare workers (HCW) and to be associated with a higher level of depression among patients. The longer the isolation, the higher the workload for HCW and the higher the costs (e.g. with about 0.5 million admission days in the Netherlands, these work out at about €14 million on personal protective equipment [PPE] and cleaning alone). Additionally, isolation demands a larger healthcare workforce, yielding less capacity to provide other care to non-COVID-19 patients, with numerous other consequences. On the other hand, it is possible that some patients were discontinued from isolation too early, leading to a risk of transmission to other patients and to HCW. In conclusion, duration of isolation should be as short as possible for proper patient flow and to avoid unnecessary burden to patients and HCW, and thus to healthcare in general. Therefore, there is an urgent need to define the period of infectiousness of COVID-19. We will develop a safe and effective algorithm for decision on timely discontinuation of isolation of COVID-19 hospitalized patients. Objective: The ultimate goal of this project is to produce new evidence-based criteria for the termination of isolation of hospitalized COVID-19 patients that are safe (very low subsequent risk of transmission to other patients or healthcare workers) while reducing the number of unnecessary days in isolation (thereby improving quality of life of patients, reducing hospital costs, and making optimal use of the scarce number of isolation beds). Multiple sources of data and evidence will be integrated to arrive at these new criteria.

This is a single center, open-label, parallel controlled, and randomized Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of two types of Recombinant Novel Corona Virus Vaccine (Adenovirus type 5 vector) in population aged 6-17 years who have been previously immunized with 2 doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine. This is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of different heterologous prime-boost regimen in this population.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II/III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SSD8432 in combination with ritonavir in adult subjects with mild/common COVID-19.

To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in people aged 18 years and older, 300 participants will be enrolled and divided into two groups: low- and high-dose groups. Each dose group (150 people) will be divided into 2 age groups (75 each):18 to 59 years old and ≥ 60 years old. The subjects will be randomized into vaccine group or placebo group in a ratio of 2:1. Subjects will complete 2 doses of vaccination on Day 0 and Day 21, in which the low-dose group will received 0.3 ml of the study vaccine or placebo, and the high dose group received 0.5 ml of the study vaccine or placebo.

To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in people aged 18 years and older, 80 participants will be enrolled and divided into two groups: low- and high-dose groups. Each dose group will be divided into 2 age groups (20 people each):18 to 59 years old and ≥ 60 years old. Subjects will be randomized into vaccine group or placebo group in a ratio of 3:1. Subjects will receive 2 doses of either vaccine or placebo on Day 0 and Day 21, in which the low-dose group will received 0.3 ml of the study vaccine or placebo, and the high dose group will receive 0.5 ml of the study vaccine or placebo.

Three complementary activities will be implemented:1) Baseline and repeat census of the catchment population; described in a separate protocol (IVI-ECOVA-03-WS1); 2) Enhanced surveillance for COVID-19 disease, and 3) AEFI-enhanced surveillance. The mass vaccination campaign will be conducted by the Government and is not part of this protocol.

Identify the relationship of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) prevalence with post-COVID-19 fatigue that remains at least six months after acute disease

Early identification and treatment of this inflammatory cascade using existing therapeutic strategies with proven safety profiles could change the course and prognosis of COVID-19 infection, reducing mortality rates. Glucocorticoids may modulate inflammation-mediated lung injury and thereby reduce progression to respiratory failure and death
