Filter by:In December 2019, a novel coronavirus infectious disease characterized by acute respiratory impairment due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) broke out in Wuhan city of Hubei province in China. So far no specific antiviral therapy can be available for patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although symptomatic and supportive care, even with mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), are strongly recommended for severe infected individuals, those with advancing age and co-morbidities such as diabetes and heart disease remain to be at high risk for adverse outcomes. This pilot clinical trial will be performed to explore the safety and efficiency of aerosol inhalation of the exosomes derived from allogenic adipose mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs-Exo) in severe patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP).
A combination of lopinavir/ ritonavir, ribavirin and interferon beta-1b will expedite the recovery, suppress the viral load, shorten hospitalisation and reduce mortality in patients with 2019-n-CoV infection compared with to lopinavir/ ritonavir
The novel identified coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in 2019 causes an nationwide outbreak as well as public health crisis in China, and expands globally. Pulmonary edema is one of the most detrimental symptoms and usually presents in severe and critical coronavirus disease (COVID-19), resulting in dyspnea, acute lung injury (ALI) ,acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and even death. Recent evidence revealed higher levels of blood Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in COVID-19 patients compared with healthy controls. VEGF is considered as the most potent vascular permeability inducers. Numerous studies have revealed that VEGF was a key factor and a potential therapeutic target in ALI and ARDS. Bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF drug, approved by the FDA on February 26, 2004 and widely used in clinical oncotherapy, is a promising drug for ALI/ARDS in COVID-19 through suppression of pulmonary edema.
The study explores the efficacy of lopinavir plus ritonavir and arbidol in treating with novel coronavirus infection. As a result this study would provide evidence for the clinical usage of these drugs in the future .
A phase Ib study to determine the safety and immunogenicity of the candidate Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) vaccine ChAdOx1 MERS in healthy adult Middle Eastern volunteers
LOVIT is a multicentre concealed-allocation parallel-group blinded randomized controlled trial to ascertain the effect of high-dose intravenous vitamin C compared to placebo on mortality or persistent organ dysfunction at 28 days in septic intensive care unit patients. Patients with COVID-19 are considered eligible for this study.
The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a potentially fatal disease with a reported lethality of up to 40% that is under tight epidemiologic control by the World Health Organization (WHO) and currently without registered prevention or treatment option. In this phase I first-in-human clinical trial, healthy volunteers in two different dose cohorts will be vaccinated twice with the candidate vaccine MVA-MERS-S. A subgroup will additionally receive a late booster vaccination. The aim of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of the candidate vaccine and to characterize its immunogenicity.
Background: Intra-alveolar clotting and alveolar collapse in ARDS is due to alveolar capillaries epithelial and leakage. Subsequently, collapse induces hypoxemia that is resistant to recruitment (RM). Heparin and Streptokinase may prevent or dissolve intra-alveolar fibrin clot respectively helping alveolar re-expansion. We examined and compared the effect of nebulizing Heparin versus Streptokinase on reversing this pathology. Methods: Sixty severe ARDS (PaO2/FiO2<100) patients and failure of RM, prone position (PP) and neuromuscular block (NMB) were partially randomised into Group (I): (n=20) received nebulized Heparin 10000 IU/4h. Group (II): (n=20) received nebulized Streptokinase 250,000 IU/4h. Group (III): (n=20) received conservative management. Randomization to either Heparin or Streptokinase groups was applied to patients whom guardian accepted participation, while those who declined participation were followed-up as a control. The primary outcome was the change in PaO2/FiO2; the secondary outcomes included the change in compliance, plateau pressure, ventilation-off days, coagulation and ICU mortality.
This is a Phase 1, first-in-human (FIH), single site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of single ascending doses of a co-administered (1:1, w/w) combination of REGN3048 and REGN3051 mAb's, administered IV in healthy adult volunteers. Study duration of approximately 16 months. Approximately 48 evaluable subjects will be enrolled in the study, eight (8) subjects in each one of 6 sequential ascending IV dose cohorts. In each cohort, subjects will be randomized to receive mAb's REGN3048 and REGN3051 (6 subjects) or placebo (2 subjects). Primary Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of REGN3048 and REGN3051 following co-administration of single, ascending IV doses of 1.5, 5, 15, 25, 50, and 75 mg/kg of each of the two mAb's.
This is a placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of a combination of lopinavir/ritonavir and Interferon beta-1b in hospitalized patients with MERS.
