Filter by:COVID-19 has emerged as a global pandemic. It is mainly manifested as pneumonia which may deteriorate into severe respiratory failure. The major hallmark of the disease is the systemic inflammatory immune response characterized by Cytokine Storm (CS). CS is marked by elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines, mainly interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-10, tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ). Of these, IL-6 is found to be significantly associated with higher mortality. IL-6 is also a robust marker for predicting disease prognosis and deterioration of clinical profile. (1) IL-6 was detectable in the breath condensate of all the healthy non-smokers, but was significantly higher in the COPD patient. Exhaled breath condensate is totally non-invasive and highly acceptable to patients. The collection procedure has no effect on airway function or inflammation, and there is growing evidence that abnormalities in condensate composition may reflect biochemical changes in airway lining fluid. This method has been successfully used in previous studies to investigate several inflammatory markers in COPD and asthmatic patients. (2) Il-6 is produced in the lung by interstitial fibroblasts, alveolar macrophages, and large-vessel and bronchial epithelial cells. IL-6 levels are high in chronic inflammatory conditions of the lung, such as those due to allogeneic transplantation, bleomycin-induced fibrosis and a variety of human interstitial lung diseases. High levels of IL-6 have been found in the induced sputum of patients with COPD, particularly during exacerbation. Park et al. found increased IL-6 levels in the Bronchioalveolar lavage fluid of patients with non-specific interstitial pneumonia/fibrosis and in some patients with interstitial pneumonia. (3) the study involved 20 healthy controls and 20 patients with moderate to severe covid-19 according to cdc classifaction and 20 patients post covid-19 with lung fibrosis to estimate the measurment of interleukin-6 at exhaled condensate, this clinical randomized control study consists of 3 arms for 6 month ( all participants above 18 years non prgnant humans )
This is a prospective, observational study. During the study, children and adolescents (ages ≥ 5 to < 16) will be followed post administration of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Injection site (local), systemic reaction, and unsolicited adverse event data will be assessed on vaccination day and during the 7 days following each vaccination using either identical web-based or paper diaries, depending on study participant preference. At Duke University, Cincinnati's Children Hospital, and Kaiser Permanente Northern California, serum samples will be collected for optional assessment of antibody titers to COVID-19. Each participant who opts in will have baseline (within 3 days of vaccination) serologies obtained and immunogenicity assessment at 28 (+7) days after each dose. All participants will be followed for 180 days after dose 2 for serious adverse events and adverse events of special interest.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare antibody response and safety of the Covid-19 (recombinante) vaccine according to different time intervals between the first two doses (4, 8 and 12 weeks) and serologic status immediately before the vaccine.
The study assesses the efficacy and safety of administration of hyperimmune plasma in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Efficacy was measured as 28-day mortality following convalescent plasma transfusion. Safety was measured as the rate of adverse reactions. to plasma infusion.
In critically ill patients, AKI is a common complication of COVID-19 infection, occurring in 23% to 43% of cases, and was correlated with poor clinical outcomes. An increase in liver function tests ( LFTs) has been found in patients with COVID-19 ranging 14%-75% Some studies found higher levels of transaminases in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia and in patients dying for COVID-19. Initial reports indicate a high incidence of abnormal liver tests and acute kidney injury (AKI) in the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). We hypothesis that there is a relationship between COVID-19 patients who are critically ill, liver enzymes and level of serum creatinine
- The study is a randomized clinical trial to assess a natural formula of vanillin & wheat germ oil to treat and stop the clinical progression of COVID-19. - The study aims to treat people with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 before their cases become severe. - The study duration is a 5-day experimental intervention and an extended 4 weeks follow up.
The purpose of the study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a mindfulness- and acceptance-based smartphone app (MABSA) intervention for frontline nurses emotionally and psychologically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The study will use a randomized controlled trial design of two groups: an intervention group of about 30 participants with posttraumatic stress symptoms and a wait-list control group of about 30 participants. The duration of the MABSA intervention is 6 weeks. The following are the outcomes to be measured: resilience, PTSD, mindfulness, experiential avoidance, and rumination.
A two-stage trial will involve healthy volunteers. The first stage is open trial, and the second stage is a double-blind trial with randomization of volunteers into three groups. At stage I of the trial, the maximum number of screened healthy volunteers will be 30 of which 20 men aged 18 to over 60 years. At stage II of the trial, the maximum number of screened healthy volunteers will be 150, of which 135 men and women aged 18 to over 60 years eligible according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria are planned to be included and randomized to collect data that will be used for the subsequent safety and immunogenicity assessment. The enrollment of volunteers at stage II will be competitive.
The clinical trial is designed as a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, interventional trial to assess safety, tolerability and efficacy of Adrecizumab (on top of SOC) in patients with COVID-19, and to evaluate if improvement of vascular integrity with Adrecizumab on top of SOC is superior to placebo/ control substance (NaCl 0.9%) on top of SOC in reduction of morbidity and mortality endpoints in patients with COVID-19. The main reason for admission to ICU and need for mechanical ventilation of these patients is acute lung injury within a broad pneumonic spectrum, increased ventricular filling pressures and resulting congestion. It is hypothesized, that Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a key player in the (dys)-regulation of vascular integrity (Figure 2). Adrecizumab is the first-in-class humanized monoclonal anti-Adrenomedullin antibody, and acts as a long-lasting plasma Adrenomedullin enhancer stabilizing barrier function at a reasonable safety profile. The mode of action for the anti-Adrenomedullin antibody Adrecizumab has been developed on the basis of published data, own experimental data and theoretical considerations.
The study is comprised of two parts: safety evaluation part (Phase I/II) and the pivotal study (Phase III) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of SCTA01 & SCTA01C compared to placebo in addition to Standard of Care (SOC).
