Filter by:The first version of this preprint article is registered on the 4th of May 2020 under the digital object identifier of:10.31219/osf.io/u56fc. COVID-19 infections virus spread worldwide and impact many countries with sever economical sequences. The effective antiviral medication or vaccination for the virus is unavailable until the present date and it takes months or years to discover the effective treatment or test the efficacy of the discovered treatment. Based on these facts, the human immune system against the virus may have an effective role to regulate the infection and reduce the mortality rate among the infected patients. This proposed research article aims to explore the available medication/ natural supplementation to boost the immunity system of the patients against COVID-19 infections and reduce the mortality rate among infected patients. Methods: a proposed clinical trial will be carried out to investigate the effect of the different treatment modalities on the human immune system against COVID-19 infection.
Evaluating the important role of the community pharmacists in pandemics like covid-19 and to find whether there was a misuse of antibiotics during the pandemic or not and to define the reasons behind this misuse if any present.
Multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel, blinded, interventional, treatment clinical trial with two arms. Population: 392 Patients with COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-19), confirmed by RT-PCR (Real Time polymerase chain reaction), symptomatic in the early phase of the disease. Experimental group: 196 patients, nitazoxanide 500mg 8 / 8 hours for 5 days. Control group: 196 patients, placebo 8/8 hours for 5 days.
In recent months severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has emerged as a novel human pathogen and, susceptibility amongst humans is presumed to be universal. Prevention measures of COVID-19 have included distancing, quarantines, use of facemasks in public places, and hand hygiene measures. Mandatory quarantines have also been applied on index cases and their contacts, as well as an active search for asymptomatic patients. Current strategies to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 do not include measures that could prevent transmission prior to the onset of symptoms. Subjects infected with SARS-CoV-2 have been known to shed virus and be contagious for up to 5 days prior to developing symptoms ('pre-symptomatic transmission'). In fact, nearly 60% of all infected subjects can shed virus pre-symptomatically. Pre- or even asymptomatic shedding occurs across all age groups, contributing to the rapidly expanding pandemic. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) using type 1 interferon (IFN) can potentially eliminate the spread of SARS-CoV-2. IFN could reduce the period of viral shedding by ~1 week. Since pre-symptomatic shedding of virus can start up to 5 days prior to symptom onset, our approach of a PEP intervention to all contacts recently exposed to a case could possibly entirely interrupt the spread of the virus, and with that, the pandemic. The current study focuses on prevention of the disease in addition to its treatment. Thus, the key distinction between these other trials and this study is that this study focuses on containing coronavirus (i.e. cause) in the community, rather than simply its treatment (i.e. consequence) in the individual. Viral spread could be eliminated through interventions effective at abolishing viral transmission. However, such post-exposure prophylaxis interventions, that is initiation of antiviral therapy in pre-infectious contacts to reduce or even eliminate such spread, must be safe since they are given to asymptomatic and possibly uninfected subjects. In none of the previous clinical trials of IFN therapy for SARS-CoV-2 have serious adverse events been recorded. Furthermore, the IFN chosen for this study (pegylated IFN 1b) has been extensively studied in clinical trials, and has been in clinical use for years for multiple sclerosis. Pegylated IFN formulations allow for weekly injections while maintaining serum levels and limiting dose-dependent side effects. Together these data support a sound safety profile for the planned intervention. The aim of this study is to ascertain whether IFN administered to index cases and household contacts of an index case, starting immediately following confirmed exposure (index case confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2), will reduce duration of SARS-CoV-2 detectable by PCR in the index cases, and incidence of SARS-CoV-2 detectable by PCR in household contacts.
This is a clinical trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a recombinant adenovirus 5 vectored COVID-19 vaccine (Ad5-nCoV) with two doses and with different adminstration routes in healthy adults aged 18 years and older.
This is a phase 2, single or multi-center, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Rayaldee (CTAP101 Capsules) to treat adult subjects with mild to moderate COVID-19 who test positive for SARS-CoV-2.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of BGB-DXP593 administered intravenously as a single dose in participants with mild to moderate COVID-19
A randomized controlled trial to study the efficacy of low dose steroid for 14 days in the treatment of post-covid-19 lung infiltrates
This study is a Phase 1, open label, non-randomized, two-arm interventional clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Virazole® in hospitalized adult patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 and, as a result, have significant respiratory distress (PaO2/FiO2 ratio <300 mmHg).
This study aim is to assess the prevalence of SARS-COV-2 in unselected pregnant women on labour (or a predictable delivery during next 24 hours), their outcome and sociodemographic conditions.
