Filter by:This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of RAY1216 tablets in the treatment of mild to moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection. The total study duration is up to 28 days.
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of 101-PGC-005 in healthy, adult, human subjects. The main question it aims to answer is what are the single and multi-dose PK properties of 101-PGC-005 in the systemic circulation Participants will receive a bolus injection of 101-PGC-005 administered intravenously once daily for 3 consecutive days. Blood and urine samples will be collected at predetermined timepoints for analysis.
COVID-19 can have different clinical manifestations including myalgia, arthralgia, neurological, cardiac, psychological and other manifestations.These patients are at greater risk of developing consequences of prolonged bed rest. Therefore physical medicine and rehabilitation could have an important role in the multidisciplinary treatment of these issues. Early respiratory and neuromuscular rehabilitation is necessary to improve functional physical limitations, performance, muscle strength, endurance as well as cognitive and emotional domains. Some studies proposed that rehabilitation protocols in the inpatient setting include early mobilisation, strength and endurance training with the aim of reducing weakness and dependency. This Study aimed to detect the effects of rehabilitation in patients with Covid-19 who were admitted in temporary Covid hospital in Serbia. Furthermore, to emphasize the importance of functional assessment of the patients, in identifying their problems and selections of priorities in planning the best therapeutic protocol.
Long COVID or Postacute sequelae of COVID-19 infection (PASC) are increasingly recognised complications, defined by lingering symptoms, not present prior to the infection, typically persisting for more than 4 weeks. Cardiac symptoms due to post-acute inflammatory cardiac involvement affect a broad segment of people, who were previously well and may have had only mild acute illness (PASC-cardiovascular syndrome, PASC-CVS). Symptoms may be contiguous with the acute illness, however, more commonly they occur after a delay. Symptoms related to the cardiovascular system include exertional dyspnoea, exercise intolerance chest tightness, pulling or burning chest pain, and palpitations (POTS, exertional tachycardia). Pathophysiologically, Long COVID relates to small vessel disease (endothelial dysfunction) vascular dysfunction and consequent tissue organ hypoperfusion due to ongoing immune dysregulation. Active organs with high oxygen dependency are most affected (heart, brain, kidneys, muscles, etc.). Thus, cardiac symptoms are often accompanied by manifestations of other organ systems, including fatigue, brain fog, kidney problems, myalgias, skin and joint manifestations, etc, now commonly referred to as the Long COVID or PASC syndrome. Phenotypically, PostCOVID Heart involvement is characterised by chronic perivascular and myopericardial inflammation. We and others have shown changes using sensitive cardiac MRI imaging that relate to cardiac symptoms (Puntmann et al, Nature Medicine 2022; Puntmann et al, JAMA Cardiol 2020; Summary of studies included in 2022 ACC PostCOVID Expert Consensus Taskforce Development Statement, JACC 2022, references below). Early intervention with immunosuppression and antiremodelling therapy may reduce symptoms and development of myocardial impairment, by minimising the disease activity and inducing disease remission. Low-dose maintenance therapy may help to maintain the disease activity at the lowest possible level. The benefits of early initiations of antiremodelling therapy to reduce symptoms of exercise intolerance are well recognised, but not commonly employed outside the classical cardiology contexts, such as heart failure or hypertension. As most patients with inflammatory heart disease only have mild or no structural abnormalities, they are left untreated (standard of care). The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of a combined immunosuppressive / antiremodelling therapy in patients with PASC symptoms and inflammatory cardiac involvement determined by CMR, to reduce the symptoms and inflammatory myocardial injury and thereby stop the progression to reduced LVEF, HF and death.

COVID-19 causes a wide spectrum of clinical illness, from upper respiratory symptoms to severe respiratory failure and death. Several plasma biomarkers -such as IL-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and ferritin, among others- have been studied as markers of disease severity and prognosis. Besides, as alveolar damage biomarkers such as Surfactant protein D (SP-D), Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6), and soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation end products (sRAGE) can be used in lung diseases as well as COVID-19 pneumonia. The investigators hypothesized that serum SP-D, KL-6 and sRAGE levels increases in the setting of COVID-19 pneumonia. In this prospective study the investigators aimed to determine the clinical value of serum KL-6, SP-D and sRAGE levels as a prognostic marker in children with COVID-19 patients. In the literature review, it has been determined that there is no study conducted or published in pediatric patients for this purpose, and it is aimed that our study will be a pioneer study on this subject.
A prospective monitoring study for those individuals treated with Paxlovid
This study will assess low-dose lithium's effects on several different symptoms experienced by long COVID patients.
Potential benefits of a nitrate juice supplement to improve skeletal muscle function and associated physical capacity will be studied in patients with Long COVID. Consenting patients with Long-COVID will be randomized to receive Beet-It nitrate beverage group versus a nitrate-depleted placebo beverage. Both groups will receive physical therapy at the long COVID Clinic at VAPHS with therapeutic goals to improve strength, balance, inspiratory, and aerobic capabilities. Physical therapy will last for 2 weeks and include 2 or 3 sessions with a physical therapist a week depending on each individual's exercise tolerance. These sessions can take place on-site or at home (or a hybrid combination) All participants will undergo functional assessments and tissue assessments before and after the 14-day study intervention.
Rapid antigen detection (RAD) tests are used to perform rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection based on a qualitative approach. RAD tests detect the viral antigen by the immobilized coated SARS-CoV-2 antibody placed on the device. The results of these tests are available in a short time, reducing the workload in diagnostic hospitals and laboratories and improving the turn-around time. EuGeni SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Diagnostic Test is an in vitro Diagnostic (IVD) medical device intended to be used for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen. The result from this IVD test identifies the presence or absence of the SARS-CoV-2 antigen as an aid for the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection.
This study will investigate whether pregnant and lactating women can develop similar protective immunity as non-pregnant women against Coronavirus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID-19) upon vaccination, without safety issues. Immunogenicity and safety of all currently licensed COVID-19 vaccines that are administered to pregnant and lactating women in Belgium will be studied.
