Filter by:The purpose of the study is to assess the physiologic, immunologic, and mental health effects of a rehabilitation program on patients with Long Haul COVID (LHC).
This is a phase 1b, randomized, double-blind, positive control trial in healthy adults, intended to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity profile of RQ3013 in healthy adults primed with a two-dose inactivated vaccine 6-9 months earlier. The study vaccine is administered IM in the upper arm deltoid as single booster shot on day 0.
The study will be conducted to evaluate : The efficacy of Platelet Rich plasma in treatment of smell disorders post severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) via the growth factors involved in accelerating and enhancing healing.
This study is being done to understand body's response to hybrid home-based and on-site rehabilitation program utilizing individually tailored exercises throughout a total of 18 sessions with 12 of them occurring onsite, in people with and without chronic respiratory diseases, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and in individuals recovered from COVID-19. Exercise training programs vary widely for people with COPD, OSA, and during prolonged recovery from COVID infection. This study will help identify if this program is helpful to address muscle loss and fatigue specifically in populations with and without chronic respiratory diseases.
Medical and socioeconomic data are extracted from the Swedish Intensive Care Registry (SIR), the Swedish National Patient Registry and Statistics Sweden for all adult patients admitted to in Swedish intensive care units between 2014-01-01 and 2020-12-31 with a diagnosis of sepsis and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and/or coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) infection, and registered in SIR. The impact of demographic and socioeconomic factors on decisions to withhold or withdraw intensive care, and on mortality, are studied and statistically adjusted for level of chronic comorbidity and severity of acute illness.
Healthcare systems around the world have faced tremendous stress because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Healthcare workers (HCWs) (ie. physicians, nurses, and support staff), who serve as the foundation of the healthcare system, report high levels of psychological stress and burnout, which will likely worsen as the pandemic continues. The consequences of stress and burnout can reduce quality of life for providers and lead to adverse health behaviors (poor dietary choices, reduced physical activity, increased alcohol intake, increases in weight etc.) among HCWs. In addition, burnout can have dire consequences on healthcare delivery effectiveness including poor quality of care and significant cost implications due to medical errors and HCW absenteeism and turnover. In fact, annual estimates of burn-out related turnover range from $7,600 per physician to >$16,000 per nurse. However, programs focused on reducing burnout in HCWs have the potential to reduce costs to the healthcare system by $5,000 per HCW per year. Maintaining and recovering psychological and behavioral well-being is essential to ensuring we have a workforce that is resilient to acute and ongoing stressors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring that they are capable of providing the highest level of quality and compassionate care to patients. In this project, we will strengthen the resiliency of the Northwestern Medicine (NM) healthcare system by implementing an online psychological well-being intervention (PARK). We will assess HCW willingness to engage in PARK, which has been shown in other populations experiencing stress (e.g. dementia caregivers, general public coping with COVID-19) to be effective. We will also assess if the PARK is effective in reducing stress and associated-burnout, absenteeism, and intentions to leave the workforce in a subset of 750 persons who have been participating in a study of HCWs at NM since Spring 2020. In the entire cohort, we will measure the psychological well-being, levels of burnout, health behaviors, absenteeism, and plans to leave the workforce at three time periods: the start, middle, and end of the study period and assess whether they differ by HCW characteristics including gender, race, and role in health care. Results from this study will provide much-needed information: 1) about the current state of psychological well-being and burnout among NM HCWs, now over 1 ½ years into the pandemic; 2) on the role of an online wellness intervention to improve well-being during a protracted pandemic; and 3) about the contribution of PARK to reduce burnout, HCW absenteeism and turnover, and potential impacts on costs. PARK has the potential to have a significant impact on not only NM HCWs but also to be generalizable to other healthcare organizations for addressing burnout and to contribute to lessons learned on how to support HCWs responding to future pandemics; ensuring resiliency in the healthcare delivery system. In addition, we will work with our already engaged stakeholder committee to ensure results can provide actionable policy and fiscal insights. Future opportunities will include collaboration with other healthcare systems to expand roll-out of the successful PARK intervention.
This study aims to examine the long-term outcomes in Veterans infected and uninfected with SARS-CoV-2 using electronic health record information and structured surveys.
This is a phase Ⅰa, randomized, double-blind, positive control trial in healthy adults, intended to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity profile of RQ3013. The study vaccine is administered IM at upper arm deltoid as a two-dose primary series on day 0, 28.
The SABRE study is a single-arm prospective study measuring safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of two SARS-CoV-2 neutralising antibodies (BMS-986414 and BMS-986413) amongst high-risk special populations of vaccine non-responders. The aim is to test the hypothesis that for individuals who fail to mount a measurable immune response to a routinely offered SARS-CoV-2 prophylactic vaccine or for those who are not able to receive such a vaccine (for example those receiving a bone marrow transplant or starting chemotherapy treatment), the receipt of subcutaneous injection of two long-acting neutralising antibodies BMS-986414 and BMS-986413 will confer durable high titres and subsequent immunological protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.120 eligible participants will be enrolled and followed up for 48 weeks after the one-time dosing visit. Primary inclusion criteria are patients age 18 years and older and either 1) have received two doses of a routine NHS standard of care SARS-Cov-2 vaccine and do not have detectable serum SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike antibodies in routine NHS assays more than two weeks post-vaccination, or do not have protective levels of antibody or 2) be ineligible to receive a SARS-CoV-2 prophylactic vaccine. This could be because they need to commence immediate systemic chemotherapy or receive bone marrow and therefore the requirement to initiate profound immune suppression. Primary objectives are to determine the safety, tolerability and detectable SARS-CoV-2 antibody by specific PPD assay in serum at 12 weeks after enrolment.
The present retrospective and prospective observational study aims at evaluate the clinical predictors of myocardial injury in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection since the introduction of vaccines that could allow the development of predictive models as well as help clinicians in the early assessment of the risk of myocardial injury and the prevention of the associated unfavourable outcomes. Furthermore, this study will characterize the cardiovascular outcomes in the post-acute COVID-19 phase, and it will evaluate for the first time the long-term clinical outcomes of patients who experienced myocardial injury, possibly paving the way for the implementation of specific therapies aiming to reduce the cardiovascular risk and the long- term sequelae of COVID-19.
