Filter by:This is Phase 2 multi-center controlled randomized study to assess the efficacy and safety of MIR 19® via 14 days of treatment of participants with symptomatic moderate COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and daily dose of MIR 19 ® for the treatment of the hospitalized patients with infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) who did not require treatment in the intensive care unit. Based on preclinical data studying antiviral effect of MIR 19® in vitro and in vivo (Khaitov M.R. et all 2021), the investigators hypothesized that SARS-CoV-2 inhibition with MIR 19® could potentially reduce pulmonary inflammation, thereby improving COVID-19 patient outcomes.
Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains a major health issue resulting in >800,000 deaths as of 30th August 2020. A concerning discovery of COVID-19 is the involvement of the myocardium. Several case studies including one from our group (recent study publication in JACC Cardiovascular Imaging led by the principal investigator of this grant application) have demonstrated subclinical myocardial inflammation in patients using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) who have recovered from COVID-19. Furthermore at a cellular level, a recent autopsy study indicated that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 is present in the myocardial tissue. The study further described invasion and viral progeny occurring in the myocardial interstitial cells and as such is a concerning development with the longer-term implications being unknown. These concerns have been noticed by the cardiology and non-cardiology medical community, with some expressing concerns of a new cause for cardiomyopathy and heart failure secondary to COVID-195. Therefore, it is critical that further studies are conducted to determine the longer-term outcome for patients.
Investigator-initiated, multi-centre, randomised, open-label trial of nebulised heparin sodium in addition to standard care compared to standard care alone in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 infection.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose of 600 mg AZD7442 administered IV (intravenous) to Chinese adults (including those with stable medical conditions).
Phase I study to assess the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of GLS-5310 DNA vaccine given as a booster to those previously vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2
This study will distribute videos of health professionals encouraging Covid-19 vaccination to a large sample of Facebook users, and will test the most effective ways to maximize diffusion of this vaccine-related content to increase vaccination rates. The study sample will be U.S. states where vaccination rates remained low in fall 2021. The experimental design is an RCT with 4 groups, randomized at the county level: 1) a control group which receives no intervention, 2) a treatment group in which Facebook users receive ads which include videos of health professionals telling them to get vaccinated, 3) a treatment group in which Facebook users receive ads which include videos of health professionals encouraging them to help their friends to get vaccinated, and 4) a treatment group in which Facebook users receive ads which include videos of health professionals encouraging them to get their most influential friends to help their friends get vaccinated. In treatments 3 and 4, participants will have the option to sign up to be a "vaccine ambassador," in which case they will get notifications when the study team posts new vaccine-related content, and will receive reminders about encouraging their friends to be vaccinated. The vaccine ambassadors will also be entered into a lottery to win prizes. The study team is building a website to host the videos of health professionals which answer common questions about Covid-19 vaccination. The investigators will measure engagement with the vaccine-related content as well as assess effects on vaccination rates at the county level.
aim of the research is to detect hematological abnormalities in covid 19 patients and its correlation with the severity and outcome of the disease.
COVID-19 associated mortality remains high despite the advances in therapeutics such as dexamethasone. The severity of COVID-19 results from direct viral cytotoxicity, and the inflammatory response, which is associated with a hypercoagulable state, contribute to lethal hypoxemic pneumonia. During the SARS-CoV-2 replication phase, infected cells secrete chemokines and die by activating the immune system locally. A local inflammatory loop induces tissue destruction, which activates the immune system's circulating cells, leading to another amplifying loop called the cytokine storm. In these phenomena, the integrity of the interferon pathway plays a significant role. Specific impairment of the interferon pathway has been identified in a subset of patients and is associated with high Covid-19 severity. This subset of patients presents preexisting autoimmune disease mediated by autoantibodies directed against IFN. It represents 10.2% (101/987) of patients admitted in ICU with COVID-19 pneumonia, and the observed mortality in this subgroup is 40%. The investigators hypothesized that plasma exchanges (PE) would eliminate these autoantibodies while acting on other mechanisms of the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19, such as cytokine storm or hypercoagulability(7). The EPIC trial aims to demonstrate the efficacy of plasma exchange in the subpopulation of patients with anti-interferon autoantibodies and severe COVID-19 hospitalized in intensive care and on oxygen therapy, high flow or not, receiving non-ventilation or invasive ventilation, on D28 survival.
The primary objective of this project is to evaluate the role of patient navigation in promoting timely follow-up of abnormal breast imaging findings in patient populations that have been most severely impacted by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This project aims to assess the impact of patient navigation as an intervention tool in patient populations that are most at risk for delayed follow-up. The investigators hypothesize that patient navigation services may be an effective way to mitigate the impact of the pandemic by decreasing the risk of a delayed breast cancer diagnosis and promoting timely diagnostic follow-up.
This study will be a phase-1, open-label, placebo-controlled, evaluation of two-dosages of a live, recombinant Newcastle disease virus expressing the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 (NDV-HXP-S), an investigational product for IN, IM, or a combined IN+IM vaccination in healthy adults previously immunized against COVID-19. The IN and IM live virus vaccinations will be identical in composition and only differ in route of administration.
