Filter by:During the current Covid-19 pandemic, many hospitals worldwide have been overwhelmed and strategies based on new technologies have been considered to improve the outcomes in patients with diabetes and Covid-19 and to prevent healthcare workers' exposure. Point-of-care blood glucose measurements, with the need of frequent and intermittent blood glucose testing and the associated time burden for hospital staff workers, have evident limitations. To this respect, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) might represent an effective tool in hospitalized patients. The latest CGM devices have alarms alerting clinicians (or patients) to abnormal blood glucose values. Furthermore, CGMs not requiring calibration with capillary glucose testing have the potential to decrease both nurse and patient burden. Insulin therapy is recommended in hospitalized patients with diabetes and Covid-19, conventionally by multiple daily insulin injections, i.e., rapid-acting insulin before meals and long-acting insulin once-a-day. Such a complex regimen demands also multiple daily fingerstick for glucose control. Use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in hospital has been considered, and simple, less sophisticated pumps might be appro¬priate for prompt use by healthcare providers not specialized in diabetes treatment. V-Go® is a skin-patch insulin delivery device to be replaced every 24 h. It is fully mechanical, without tubing or electronics, and does not require any programming. It delivers a continuous basal infusion of rapid-acting insulin and allows for additional units before meals. Therefore, the implementation of CGM and automated insulin infusion in Covid-19 hospitals has the potential to improve clinical outcomes, protect frontline healthcare workers, and preserve personal protective equipment. However, because only observational retrospective data for CGM use and no data on insulin pump use are currently available, randomized controlled trials are needed to determine whether using these technologies in hospital is of significant help. The aims of this study are to explore, in patients with diabetes in COVID-19 wards, whether using continuous glucose monitoring with a glucose telemetry system and/or using a disposable insulin pump may improve blood glucose control and Covid-19 outcomes, and facilitate diabetes management.
Vaccination against the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was extended to patients at risk of severe forms of Covid-19, including in particular patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases treated by immunosuppressants and/or biologics. In this particular population, the effectiveness of vaccines, in particular influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations, is often reduced, especially in case of treatment with rituximab and / or methotrexate. Regarding the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, the studies that allowed the marketing authorization of the available vaccines did not include patients treated with immunosuppressants or immunomodulators. Thus, the impact of treatments on the production of neutralizing antibodies and specific T lymphocytes is not known. The goal of this study is to assess the immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases treated with immunosuppressants or immunomodulators.
This study will investigate how ensovibep is distributed throughout the body, the safety and the tolerability of ensovibep in healthy volunteers
This is a randomized phase II placebo controlled clinical trial. Active arm: Allogeneic Wharton's jelly derived MSCs (WJ-MSCs). Both groups will receive standard of care treatment for COVID (e.g. dexamethasone)
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Proxalutamide (GT0918) in male outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19 disease
This is phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled Ampion in adults with respiratory distress due to COVID-19
This phase I study is designed as double-blinded, randomised, placebo controlled, three-armed study composed of two different dose arms of protective adjuvanted inactivated vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 in dose escalations (first low dose group, followed by high dose group) and placebo arm.
The purpose of this study is to determine to what extent a short systemic steroid therapy with estradiol and progesterone, administered early to hospitalized and confirmed COVID-19 positive patients of both sexes in addition to standard of care (SOC) can reduce the severity of symptoms and outcomes compared to SOC alone.
This double-blinded, randomized study is being conducted to see if the investigational new drug called FP-1201-lyo - intravenous Interferon beta-1a, hereafter IV IFN beta-1a, can help patients recover more quickly from COVID-19 and prevent worsening of the condition. To understand if IV IFN beta-1a can help treat patients with COVID-19, this study drug will be compared to dexamethasone. Study subjects will be treated daily with IV IFN beta-1a 10 μg or IV dexamethasone for 6 consecutive days while hospitalized and will undergo daily assessments while in hospital for a maximum of 28 days. Study specific assessments will be collected at pre-dose Day 1 through Day 28 (PD and PIM assessments), in addition, clinical routine assessments will be utilized for safety and efficacy assessments.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity profile after 1 and 2 dose administrations of investigational SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine CVnCoV, and to evaluate the humoral immune responses 14 days after 2 dose administrations of CVnCoV.
