Filter by:Countries that have not carried out universal mass vaccination against tuberculosis (BCG) have been shown to have higher incidence and death rates due to COVID-19 than countries with mass, long-term BCG immunization programmes. The aim of the study is to answer the following questions: 1. Does BCG vaccination affect the course of COVID-19 (number of cases/deaths/severity of symptoms)? 2. Will the course of COVID-19 be milder among subjects with a negative TB skin test (PPD RT 23 SSI) after an additional dose of BCG than in case of non-vaccinated subjects? 3. Do people with a positive TB skin test have a milder course of COVID-19 infection than people with a negative test result? A multicenter, randomized, partially blinded, placebo-controlled study will be conducted in Rzeszow/Krakow/ Katowice/Warsaw on a group of 1000 volunteers, health care workers according to the following schedule: V 0-1: inclusion/informed consent/interview; V2: administration of TB skin test/anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG test/serum banking*; V3: TB skin test (TST) interpretation and subjects' division into three groups: (I) positive TST - observation; (II) negative TST- BCG-10 vaccination; (III) negative TST - placebo. Division into groups II and III based on randomisation; V4: serum banking*. Parallel beginning from V3, weekly telephone monitoring participants' health status; In case of COVID-19 symptoms a nasopharyngeal swab to confirm SARS-CoV-2 infection + serum banking*. V5: 3 months after vaccination at the end of the study: history/anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG test, serum banking*. Statistical analysis - comparison of the course of COVID-19 in groups: (I) with positive TST + observation, (II) with negative TST + BCG, (III) with negative TST + placebo - should demonstrate whether mass BCG vaccination has an impact on the incidence and course of COVID-19. * to measure the level of cytokines involved in cell-mediated immunity process
The main purpose of this phase-1b, multicenter, randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of bempegaldesleukin (BEMPEG; NKTR-214) in combination with standard of care (SOC) in adult patients with mild COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). The trial will also define the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of bempegaldesleukin in patients with mild COVID-19.
Facebook ads with physician-delivered videos were shown before the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and focused on staying safe during the COVID pandemic by limiting travel and mask-wearing.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Lung failure is the main cause of death related to COVID-19 infection. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ABBV-47D11 and ABBV-2B04 given alone and in combination to participants with COVID-19 infection. In addition, this study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (how the body handles the study drug) and anti-viral activity of the study drug. ABBV-47D11 and ABBV-2B04 are investigational anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies being developed for the treatment of COVID-19. Study will be conducted in two parts. In part A, participants will receive ABBV-47D11 or placebo. There is a 1 in 4 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. In part B, participants will receive ABBV-2B04 alone or in combination with ABBV-47D11 or placebo. There is a 1 in 5 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Around 54 adult participants with COVID-19 will be enrolled in approximately 10 to 30 sites globally. In part A participants will receive single intravenous (into the veins) infusion of ABBV-47D11 or placebo on Day 1. In part B participants will receive single intravenous (into the veins) infusion of ABBV-2B04 alone or in combination with ABBV-47D11 or placebo on Day 1. Participants will be followed up for 106 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, nasal swabs and presence of side effects.
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first isolated in Wuhan, China in December 2019. It is rapidly spreading worldwide, posing a severe threat to global health. Many therapeutics have been investigated for the treatment of this disease with inconclusive outcomes. Anakinra - an interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist - had showed survival benefits in patients with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) and sepsis and was investigated for the use in COVID-19 infection with promising outcomes.
This is a Phase 2/3, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of INO-4800 administered by intradermal (ID) injection followed by electroporation (EP) using CELLECTRA® 2000 device to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in participants at high risk of exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The Phase 2 segment will evaluate immunogenicity and safety in approximately 400 participants at two dose levels across three age groups. Safety and immunogenicity information from the Phase 2 segment will be used to determine the dose level for the Phase 3 efficacy segment of the study involving approximately 7116 participants.
The BBV152 vaccine is being developed to prevent COVID-19, the disease resulting from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The study is designed to primarily evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of BBV152 to prevent COVID-19 for up to 1 year after the second dose of BBV152.
A total of 300 healthy volunteers between the ages of 18 and 80 with no previous history of COVID-19 will be entered into the study and will receive IPV by injection on Day 1. Blood specimens collected pre-inoculation will be tested for cross-reactivity to poliovirus and SARS-CoV-2 by Western blot. An additional specimen will be collected on Day 28 post-inoculation and, likewise tested for cross-reactivity to poliovirus and SARS-CoV-2. The number of subjects with an immune response to SARS-CoV-2 antigens following inoculation with IPV will be summarized.

SAINT-PERU is a triple-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled trial with two parallel arms to evaluate the efficacy of ivermectin in negativizing nasopharyngeal PCR in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The trial is conducted in two national hospitals at Lima-Peru.
