Active clinical trials for "Virus Diseases"

A randomized, double-blind, phase II clinical trial was conducted versus placebo in 110 patients with esophageal human papillomavirus. The experimental group will receive the VIUSID® plus GLIZIGEN® nutritional supplements, administered on an outpatient basis for 3 months. The control group will receive placebo from Viusid plus Glizigen placebo. It is expected that patients in the experimental group have a 30% higher rate of elimination of the virus than patients in the placebo group after treatment. The study will be conducted in the Superior Digestive Tract consultation of the Institute of Gastroenterology of Havana, Cuba.

This is a phase 2A, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of molnupiravir (MK-4482) in healthy participants who have been inoculated with an experimental Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) [RSV-A Memphis 37b]. It is hypothesized that MK-4482 will reduce the peak viral load (PVL) compared to placebo when given either before (prophylactic) or after (treatment) RSV-A Memphis 37b inoculation. Participants arrive at the study center for check-in between Day -3 and Day -1. The assigned treatment sequence (consisting of a combination of molnupiravir or placebo) begins Day -1. Participants receive viral inoculation with RSV-A Memphis 37b on Day 0, and depart on Day 12. There is a follow-up visit on Day 28.

Background: Recent reports increasingly recognize neurological manifestations in COVID-19 patients. However, the full spectrum of the disease and risk factors are not well understood. Aim: To describe the full spectrum of neurological manifestations in COVID-19 and assess the clinical characteristics, risks and prognostic factors. Outcomes: Identification of COVID-19 associated neurological disease is the primary outcome while requirement for admission to critical care unit, mortality, length of hospital stay, quality of life, and neurological disability are the secondary outcomes. Participants: Patients above Age more than 18 years enrolled based on new-onset acute neurological disease and COVID19 positive will serve as cases while patient with confirmed COVID-19 without neurological manifestation will serve as controls. Design and Procedures: The study is prospective case control in design and is divided into three phases in India, Brazil and Malawi ; the first phase will address role of hypoxia in causation of neurological diseases, the second phase will compare characteristics of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 with and without neurological disease and the third phase will assess the long-term follow up (at 3 months and 9 months) of cases.

This is an open-label, multi-center, randomized, parallel-group, maintenance trial of Serostim® in subjects who have completed a prior Serostim® Human Immunodeficiency Virus-associated Adipose Redistribution Syndrome (HARS) trial (Study 22388). The subjects, who encountered toxicity during the antecedent protocol, will be assigned to a 1 milligram (mg) dose. All other subjects will be randomized in 1:1 ratio, to receive up to 2 mg or 4 mg of Serostim®, beginning from Day 1 of Week 1. Doses will be adjusted downward in subjects weighing less than 55 kilogram (kg). Serostim® therapy will be continued at the assigned doses through Week 12 (Period 1). Subjects, who will encounter toxicity during Period 1, will be assigned to the 1 mg group for Period 2. All other subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive up to 2 mg or 1 mg of Serostim® on a weight adjusted basis. Period 2 therapy will begin on Day 1 of Week 13, continuing through Week 36. Study visits are required at Screening (that is, Final Visit of the antecedent trial), Day 1 of Week 1 (Baseline), and at Weeks 2, 6, 12, 14, 24, 30 and 36.

Coldamaris lozenges are a medical device containing 10 mg carrageenan/lozenge. The goal of the study is to determine whether the iota-carrageenan content in the saliva of subjects who sucked Coldamaris® lozenges is sufficient to inhibit the replication of 4 of the most common respiratory viruses causing common cold. At least 29 subjects will be screened, in order to get 24 subjects included.

The SARS-CoV-2 infection was in 2020 responsible for new disease related chronic conditions which have been referred to as Post-COVID. To date it is still unknown how common this condition is and which symptoms are related to it. The aim of the study is to monitor the onset of these conditions in a large observational study consisting of German health insurance data.

Primary Objective: -Estimate the hospital-associated healthcare resource use (HCRU), and associated costs, of RSV infection in children in comparison to the non-RSV control cohort (general population) and patients with rhinovirus infection. Secondary Objectives: Describe demographic and clinical patient characteristics of RSV infected children. Estimate and compare the incidence of RSV infection and acute respiratory infections (ARIs) in children. Estimate the mortality associated with RSV infection in children. Estimate the social economic burden of RSV infection in children in relation to parents staying home from work to care for their sick child (VAB leave) in comparison to non-RSV control cohort (i.e. parents to children in the general population). Estimate the net days with VAB leave and the compensation disbursed (temporary parental benefit) associated with RSV infection in children. Estimate the indirect costs that can be attributed to VAB leave. Examine the medium- and long-term complications associated with an RSV diagnosis in children in comparison to the non-RSV control chart (general population) and patients with rhinovirus infection. Examine and describe risk factors associated with an RSV infection in children Estimate the healthcare resource use (HCRU), and associated costs, of RSV infection in children, for a subset of patients where primary care data is available, in comparison to the non-RSV control cohort (general population).

Aimed to understand if yoga exercises are superior to posture exercises as an alternative exercise therapy for relieving musculoskeletal pain, improving functional status, and improving quality of life during the post- corona virus disease (COVID-19) period?

This pilot clinical trial studies how well scrambler therapy works treating chronic pain in patients with rash from varicella zoster virus infection. Scrambler therapy may help relieve pain from a rash caused by varicella zoster virus infection

Due in part to widespread availability of oseltamivir and clinical experience using oseltamivir to treat H5N1 influenza virus infections, many strains of influenza have become resistant to it. Other reliable methods of treating H5N1 must be identified in case of a pandemic. One such option is intravenous zanamivir used in combination with oseltamivir. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the interaction between oral oseltamivir and intravenous zanamivir administered as either a continuous or intermittent infusion in healthy adults.
