Filter by:COVID-19 is a novel disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 that primarily affects the lungs but also various other organs of the body already in early stages of the disease. Due to the multiple organ involvements in the acute phase, it is conceivable that - in a significant proportion of patients - longterm sequels in various organ systems might occur, thereby impacting the individual's health status and quality of life; and posing a relevant burden to the resources of the health care system Assessment of SARS-CoV-2-longterm morbidity and sequels on the population level: In order to identify and treat these sequels in a timely fashion and to get a sense of the prevalence of such SARS-CoV-2 sequels on the population level, it is important to collect follow-up data and to comprehensively re-examine a population-representative sample of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals. Within the COVIDOM study we will conduct deep clinical and biochemical phenotyping in population-representative samples in Germany. This will allow novel insights into disease pathogenesis and chronicity of virus infections.
The study will look at the immunological characteristics of COVID-19 patients and determine neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Clinical endpoints: - Verification of differences in health risk perception level and lifestyle changes - Verification of changes in lifestyle changes and exposure to environmentally hazardous chemicals - Verification of changes in indicators related to kidney disease according to changes in exposure to environmentally hazardous chemicals 4. Statistical methods: chi-square test, independent mean comparison t-test, ANOVA test, regression analysis
The objective of this research project is to scientifically evidence a pulmonary rehabilitation program that was initiated altruistically during the confinement of those patients who had suffered from COVID-19, through an online platform. Patients are connected telematically 3 times a week from April 6, 2020 to perform the physical therapy program. Due to the clinical improvements that have been referred by patients, they began to take objective data. Our goal is to know if a telematic respiratory therapy program in post-covid 19 patient, improves the level of anxiety, dyspnea on effort, improves quality of life and oxygenation.
Researchers are creating real-time epidemiology registry to evaluate the efficacy of COVID-19 subject risk assessment scores based on recording of symptoms, biomarkers, chronic illness and mental health assessments with digital technology using wearables and mobile app tools. Researchers aim to study in Phase 1, epidemiological variations in COVID-19 presentation in both PCR positive and negative subjects in the registry. Assessment of variables, predictive modeling of variables that impact severity of COVID-19 positive and negative subjects and assessment of predictors for post COVID-19 complications. In Phase 2, 2700 subjects with COVID-19 positive test will be studied in the intervention group comparing ECL-19 vs placebo with primary end point of hospital admission assessment. Treatment strategy for PCR positive COVID-19 subjects in the registry who are in Stage I of the disease process with ECL-19 drug compared to placebo in reducing hospital admissions
Primary objectives Part 1: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of COR-101 compared to placebo Secondary objectives Part 1: - To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of COR-101 compared to placebo in hospitalized patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 - To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of COR-101
Older adults and people with underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for developing serious complications related to SARS-CoV-2 resulting in prolonged sequelae. The goal of this proposal is to compare the benefits of home-based lower limb heat therapy to exercise training on cardio-metabolic function and mobility in older adults during their convalescence from hospitalization due to SARS-CoV-2.
The pandemic COVID-19 does not have an established treatment. Clinical trials of antiviral drugs against SARS CoV-2 are currently in progress. Clinical study done by NIH which included 1059 patients indicated that those who received Remdesivir had a median recovery time of 11 days as compared with 15 days in those who received placebo. Remdesivir has recently received full approval for COVID-19 by US FDA, and emergency use authorization (EUA) by multiple countries including European Commission and Indian Health Service. Remdesivir appears to demonstrate the most benefit in those with severe COVID-19 on supplemental oxygen. The NIH Panel recommends using Remdesivir for 5 days or until hospital discharge, whichever comes first. The interim analysis of WHO's SOLIDARITY trial, however, failed to show mortality benefit with Remdesivir. Review of literature suggests the transfusion of convalescent plasma has been used successfully in observational and retrospective studies. A recent metanalysis showed that convalescent plasma reduced mortality by 57% compared to matched-patients receiving standard treatments. The objective of NHRC sponsored initial clinical study protocol (Convalescent Plasma study) was to provide a coordinated approach for collection and preparation, distribution and guidance for safe and effective administration of convalescent plasma with antibodies against SAR CoV-2 for treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection who are most likely to benefit from this investigational treatment. On August 9th, 2020, the Government of Nepal gave permission to use Remdesivir in COVID-19 patients of Nepal only as a study drug when the original protocol was amended to add a second study arm to use Remdesivir for treatment of patients with moderate to severe COVID-19. The enrollment goal of these two protocols have been reached and collection of study data will be completed by the end of October 2020. On October 18th, the GoN MoHP also announced and directed to provide access for Remdesivir directly through the pharmacies. Therefore, this registry study has been designed to replace the compassionate use study of Remdesivir and Convalescent plasma.
Patients hospitalized for COVID-19 may need intensive care (e.g. mechanical ventilation) during hospitalization. Some risk factors are already known but better targeting of such patients is still needed, at least because existing risk factors are not strong enough to provide an accurate prediction. Care organization would benefit for such a predictive tool. Oropharyngeal and gut microbiota could potentially fill a significant gap in predictive performances. The investigators therefore propose to sample 200 patients (oropharyngeal and rectal swab) admitted in infectious disease department at Bichat Hospital and at high risk of needing intensive care during hospitalization. The investigators plan to perform metagenomic sequencing and bioinformatic analysis of these samples to characterize the diversity of bacterial species present in the oropharynx and the gut and to identify new factors associated with the need for intensive care. Aside metagenomic analyses, The investigators will perform semi-quantitative cultures of the oropharyngeal and gut microbiota to identify and quantify pathogens in order to predict the risk of bacterial infections in COVD-19 patients. For patients transferred in intensive care unit, The investigators will to perform another series of samples to better characterize the evolution of microbiota during mechanical ventilation and identify factors associated with the risk of developing a ventilator-associated pneumonia. Microbiota data will be considered together with the host genotype, the viral sequence and a deep immunological profiling to identify the main determinants of the evolution toward severity of COVID-19.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel therapeutic agent, Novaferon, in hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The study is comprised of two cohorts: - Cohort A: This is a blinded safety lead-in comprising two arms. 40 patients will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive either Novaferon or matched placebo via a commercial nebulizer, plus Standard of Care (SOC) - Cohort B: This is the main portion of the study, which comprises two arms. Up to 874 patients will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive either Novaferon or matched placebo via a commercial nebulizer, plus SOC
