Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The proposed phase 2a trial will determine whether MIB-626 treatment in adults with COVID-19 infection and stage 1 acute kidney injury is more efficacious than placebo in preventing worsening of kidney function, as assessed by longitudinal changes in serum creatinine concentration, and in attenuating the inflammatory response to the infection.

The Multi-arm trial of Inflammatory Signal Inhibitors for COVID-19 (MATIS) study is a two-stage, open-label, randomised controlled trial assessing the efficacy of ruxolitinib (RUX) and fostamatinib (FOS) individually, compared to standard of care in the treatment of COVID-19 pneumonia. The primary outcome is the proportion of hospitalised patients progressing from mild or moderate to severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Patients are treated for 14 days and will receive follow-up assessment at 7, 14 and 28 days after the first study dose. Patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 pneumonia will be recruited. Initially, n=171 (57 per arm) patients will be recruited in Stage 1. Following interim analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of the treatments, approximately n=285 (95 per arm) will be recruited during Stage 2.

It is expected that large numbers of healthcare workers will experience a broad range of psychological reactions and symptoms including anxiety, depression, moral distress, and trauma symptoms that will cause both significant suffering as well as occupational and social impairment. The purpose of this study is to find interventions which are helpful in treating psychological distress in healthcare workers caring for COVID-19 patients. There are two phases of the study. All participants will take part in Phase I, which consists of 4 sessions over a two-week period of either a narrative writing intervention or a medical music intervention. Participants will be randomly assigned to the narrative writing intervention or medical music intervention. After Phase I, participants will be re-assessed. Healthcare workers who meet criteria for PTSD will be given the option to participate in Phase II of the study, in which they will be offered a choice between one of two evidence-based treatments for PTSD: Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) or Exposure Therapy (ET). Both treatments are comprised of ten 75-minute sessions scheduled twice weekly. Participants will be allowed to choose a preferred treatment in Phase II. After Phase II participants will complete a final assessment concluding the study. All interventions will be offered using distance technology.

This phase I trial evaluates the side effects and best dose of COH04S1, a synthetic modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, for the prevention of COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 infection is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. SARS-CoV-2 has demonstrated the capability to spread rapidly, leading to significant impacts on healthcare systems and causing societal disruption. COH04S1 was created by placing small pieces of SARS-CoV-2 DNA (the chemical form of genes) into synthetic MVA, which may be able to induce immunity (the ability to recognize and fight against an infection) to SARS-CoV-2. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and the optimal dose of the COH04S1 vaccine.

The purpose of this initial study is to evaluate a new form of cognitive rehabilitation therapy for improving your ability to think, particularly how rapidly you process information that you receive from your senses, e.g., sight, hearing, and smell. The study will also test how often and how well you carry out tasks that rely on thinking in your daily life. You will be randomly assigned to receive the new therapy soon or about three months later. In other words, your treatment schedule will be determined by chance. The new therapy involves intensive, repetitive cognitive exercises (up to 3.5hr/day for 10 consecutive weekdays) with rest periods interspersed as needed.

Small molecule inhibitors have previously been investigated in different studies as possible therapeutics in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2. In the current drug repurposing study, the investigators identified the leukotriene (D4) receptor antagonist Montelukast as a novel agent that simultaneously targets two important drug targets of SARS-CoV-2. The investigators initially demonstrated the dual inhibition (main protease and Spike/ACE2) profile of Montelukast through multiscale molecular modeling studies. Next, the investigators characterized its effect on both targets by different in vitro experiments including the Fluorescent Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)-based main protease enzyme inhibition assay, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy, pseudovirus neutralization on HEK293T / hACE2, and virus neutralization assay using xCELLigence MP real time cell analyzer.

A large proportion of persons who have had COVID-19 have reported persisted symptoms as fatigue and dyspnea months post infection which affect activities of daily living. The aim of the study is to examine the feasibility and safety of a concentrated rehabilitation program with a mobile application follow-up for persons with persistent symptoms post COVID-19 infection. We will examine recruitment availability, adherence to the program, goal achievement, and resources requirements. Methods: A feasibility study with one group pre-post test design with 10-20 persons between 18-67 years, with persistent symptoms post COVID-19 will be included. The intervention is 3+ 1-2 days concentrated rehabilitation with a mobile application follow-up for 3 months. Following assessments wil be used: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing, lung function, functional performance tests, questionnaires regarding dyspnea, fatigue, anxiety, depression, work-status, health status, sleep behavior, physical activity level. Demographic data before and after the intervention will be presented. Focus group interview will be done with the participants. The interview will be analysed using systematic text condensation.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused pandemic since outbreak in 2020.Patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) are at higher risk of mortality and morbidity due to COVID-19. Despite there is a large number of clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines, only a few participants with chronic liver diseases were included.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused pandemic since outbreak in 2020. Patients with cancers may be at higher risk than those without cancer for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). At present, limited data are available on the safety and immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccination for patients with cancer.

This first-in-human clinical study is a Phase 1a/ 1b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK/PD of NTR-441 in healthy subjects and patients with COVID-19 after single ascending IV infusion doses and multiple ascending IV infusion doses.
