Filter by:The world is currently facing a pandemic with the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) which leads to the disease of COVID-19. Risk factors for a poor outcome of COVID-19 have so far been identified as older age and co-morbidity including chronic respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and current smoking status. Previous studies found, that vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent among patients with these risk factors. There are observational studies reporting independent associations between low serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (the major circulating vitamin D metabolite) and susceptibility to acute respiratory tract infection. Vitamin D substitution in patients with COVID-19 who show a vitamin D deficiency should therefore be investigated for efficacy and safety. The study is designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind study. The objective of the study is to test the hypothesis that patients with vitamin D deficiency suffering from COVID-19 treated under standardized conditions in hospital will recover faster when additionally treated with a single high dose of vitamin D compared to standard treatment only.
Pandemic period could affect the disabled children's rehabilitation and follow-up negatively because of preventive measures and this could create adverse results on their parents. In this research, it is aimed to determine the positive and negative effects of pandemic on parents and disabled children and to provide an insight for future solutions.
The present study aims to investigate the endothelial vasodilator function in patients with COVID-19
The study objectives were to assess 1/the immune status of healthcare professionals with suggestive symptomatology of Covid-19 infection and 2/the sensitivity and specificity of AAZ rapid test by comparing it with a serological ELISA test. An open-label, monocentric, prospective, non-randomized study, is conducted, including 50 hospital healthcare professionals and 50 private health professionals. Knowledge of serostatus will achieve the implementation of a strategy of management of patients according to specific immunity of health professionals
While many people with COVID-19 suffer from respiratory disease, there is growing evidence that the virus also affects other organs. The purpose of this study is to better understand the effects of COVID-19 on the lungs and other organs. The study investigators have developed new techniques in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to scan the lungs, heart, brain and liver. The study investigators hope to learn more about how the virus causes inflammation in these organs and how this inflammation changes over time as people recover from COVID-19 illness. The study aims to enroll 228 people in Alberta. Participants will undergo one or more MRI scans and have blood testing at one or more time points to assess for inflammation, kidney function, liver function and possible heart injury. Participants will also undergo testing to assess sense of smell, cognition (thinking and memory), spirometry (breathing test for lung function) and and exercise tolerance (walk test). The study investigators hope this study will help us learn more about the long-term risks of COVID-19 disease.
Clinical observation has found that COVID-19 patients often present inconsistency of clinical features, nucleic acid of the SARS-CoV-2 and imaging findings, which brings challenges to the management of patients.The quantitative assessment of patients' pulmonary lesions of chest CT, combined with the basic information, epidemiological history, clinical symptoms, basic diseases and other information of patients, will quickly establish a reliable prediction model for the severe COVID-19. This model will greatly contribute to the effective diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19.
This is a Phase I study that randomized, double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group, Single Ascending Dose Study to evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of CT-P59 in Healthy Subjects.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of oral Foipan® (camostat mesilate) compared with the current standard of care in reducing the duration of viral shedding of SARS-CoV-2 virus in patients with mild-moderate COVID-19 disease. Patients will attend 4 study visits over a period of up to 28 days.
A novel coronavirus, designated corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in a Pandemic at the time of writing (27th April) the reported number of confirmed cases exceeding 3 million and over 200000 associated deaths. The burden on global critical care has been considerable. As of 24th April there have been 8752 UK critical care admissions with services under considerable strain, and a mortality rate over 50%. Survivors of critical illness will require significant input. This study will perform mixed methods to provide rich data on risk stratification and recovery from critical illness. Recovery from a novel disease requires documenting and the study reports physical and psychological changes following hospital discharge in survivors. In addition qualitative interviews are being conducted with patients who have survived and been discharged from critical care along with their relatives and treating professionals, to better understand their needs during recovery.
The purpose of this research study is to find out if CCP is safe and to determine the safest and most effective level of anti-viral antibody when given to people admitted to the hospital with confirmed COVID-19 infection. Participants enrolled on this study will be transfused with 2 units of CCP through an IV. These units will be given one at a time 4 to 24 hours apart. Participants will be randomized to receive either 2 units with standard antibody levels as recommended by the FDA or 2 units with an antibody level higher than that recommended by the FDA. This study is experimental and CCP is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of COVID-19. The CCP is collected per FDA guidelines from persons recovered from COVID-19 infection. The plasma contains antibodies and possibly other properties that inhibit the virus. The investigators do not know if the level of antibodies present in the CCP will make a difference in how the participant's body is able to fight the infection and hope to learn that in this study.
