Filter by:Thousands of healthcare workers have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 and contracted COVID-19 despite their best efforts to prevent contamination. No proven vaccine is available to protect healthcare workers against SARS-CoV-2. This study will enroll 470 healthcare professionals dedicated to care for patients with proven SARS-CoV-2 infection. Subjects will be randomized either in the observational (control) group or in the inhaled nitric oxide group. All personnel will observe measures on strict precaution in accordance with WHO and the CDC regulations.
This is a multi-center, double-blinded study of COVID-19 infected patients requiring inpatient hospital admission randomized 1:1 to daily Losartan or placebo for 7 days or hospital discharge.
This is a multi-center, double-blinded study of COVID-19 infected patients randomized 1:1 to daily losartan or placebo for 10 days or treatment failure (hospital admission).
Web-based survey to members of 10 Spanish Associations of surgical nurses and surgeons of different specialities to know the application of preventative measures for surgical site infection.
This is a single-centre, open-label, Phase Ib study designed to assess if intravenous injection of approximately 3200 P. falciparum (NF54 strain) sporozoites can be safely administered to achieve blood-stage parasitaemia with a kinetics/PCR profile that will allow for the future characterisation of antimalarial blood-stage activity of new chemical entities in a relatively small number of participants during early drug development. Healthy, malaria-naïve adults, aged 18-55 years, will be enrolled in a maximum of 2 cohorts. Enrolment into the cohorts will proceed sequentially, with two target levels of parasitaemia, i.e., 5000 parasites/mL blood in Cohort 1 and 10000 parasites/mL blood in Cohort 2. (Based on observed levels of parasitaemia in Cohort 1, the target threshold for treatment in Cohort 2 was maintained at 5,000 p/mL (vs 10,000 p/mL in the protocol)). The 3-day antimalarial therapy regimen will be further administered and monitored until parasite clearance. Safety and tolerability will be monitored during the whole study duration.
This study has two parts. Part A will assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AT-777 in healthy subjects. Part B will assess the safety, antiviral activity/efficacy and PK of AT-777 in combination with AT-527 after 8 weeks of treatment in HCV-infected subjects.
Study Objective: 1. To test if post-exposure prophylaxis with hydroxychloroquine can prevent symptomatic COVID-19 disease after known exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. 2. To test if early preemptive hydroxychloroquine therapy can prevent disease progression in persons with known symptomatic COVID-19 disease, decreasing hospitalizations and symptom severity.
Worldwide, 95% of adults are infected with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). These infections may cause different diseases. In most cases, EBV infection is asymptomatic because of a highly effective host immune response. Some individuals develop infectious mononucleosis (a self-limiting lymphoproliferative disorder in adolescents and young adults that is considered to be the primary infection), while others develop chronic fatigue syndrome, EBV-associated lymphoid, or epithelial malignancies. Today, there is no available treatment to treat and destroy EBV. The treatment is essentially symptomatic (treatment of the symptoms and not of the virus itself) with analgesics for pain for example. The studied drugs are 2LEBV® and 2LXFS®, from Labo'Life company, and the treatment schema is the same for the two drugs: it consists in taking the content of one capsule per day, sequentially, according to capsules' numerical order: 1 through 10. When capsule number 10 is taken, capsule 1 of the next blister should be taken on the next day to continue the treatment. The duration of treatment will be of 6 months of continuous intake of the content of 1 capsule/day. The aim of this study is to provide additional information on effectiveness on the 2LEBV® and 2LXFS®in the treatment of EBV chronic and acute infections, and in particular to demonstrate their effectiveness versus placebo in the reduction of asthenia and other symptoms in EBV infection.
This study investigates nanotechnology structured water magnalife in urology and to test its effects against lower urinary tract infections (UTI) in females.
The objectives are to evaluate whether variations in vaginal and/or urinary and/or fecal microbiome predispose postmenopausal women to recurrent cystitis. This will be explored using comparison of microbiome profiles between those with recurrent UTI compared to age-matched women without recurrent UTI.
